Suzerain (Rizia)

The first pale light of dawn creeps over the imposing, historic architecture of the City of Porte Drazon capital of Rizia. A crisp, almost rehearsed reveille drifts from military barracks, mingling with the early rumble of trams and the stern calls of street vendors setting up their stalls. The air, still cool from the night, carries the scent of industry and the faint, metallic tang of the nearby sea. Uniformed figures begin to fill the wide avenues, their disciplined movements contrasting with the more hurried, determined pace of civilians heading to work. Massive statues of historical military leaders stand sentinel, their bronze forms catching the nascent sunlight, seemingly overseeing the city's awakening. It is a morning of order, power, and the quiet hum of a nation accustomed to strength, where efficiency is palpable in every shadow and every perfectly aligned brick.
