The cultural co-capital, a coastal city on Whitefin Bay famous for its amphitheaters, festival grounds, and the Philosopher's Wharf—a long stone pier where Scalawag thinkers hold public debates, sometimes for days on end, drawing crowds who cheer arguments like sporting matches.
Lekia's harbor shelters fishing fleets and the ornate festival barges that carry revelers between coastal celebrations. The city's architecture favors open plazas and tiered seating, designed for performance and spectacle. Even the fish markets have stages.
The war has changed everything. Rebel-sympathizing ships blockade the harbor, strangling trade. The festival grounds have become refugee camps. The philosophers still debate on the Wharf, but now they argue about who deserves to die.
