NL : Arcadia : The Transformed City

A HISTORY

The Diesmaran Empire was in an industrial stage with ports and factories lining the coastline and harbor areas. Trade was taking off with discovery of new minerals and ore littered around the southernlands and also high technology industry was booming.

The Ports were filled with ships and barges. Busy was the Aestorian seas that age.

The age has long passed when the Arcadian cove was used as a major hub for industry and trade. The city has long shed away its dirty past and transformed anew.

========================================================

PRESENT DAY

Arcadia has long since cleaned up its outlook from a dirty industrial district of the Diesmaran Empire to now part of the bustling collosul cityscape of the Diesmaran Empire's northernlands, housing the districts wealthiest and busiest businesses.

Like many part of the Northernlands, the factories and ports have been demolished and reconstructed into  collosul shining skyscapers which permeate the skyline.

However the most appealing feature of Arcadia is the reclaimed beaches which throughtout the years has reflourished into its long past beauty and sits gently below the cliffside.

The beaches are symbolic of Arcadia and how far it has come in its time in the Diesmaran Empire.

But what really marks the beauty for the city is what lies across the bridge.

The old port harbor Island

The Island being the first largest port in the Diesmaran EMpire has been conveted into a new kind of port. A crusie ship port, attracting tourists and travellers from all around bringing them on luxury liners across the Aestorian strait as a form of holiday getaway and means of transportation.

There are hundred of ships that operate around and they enter and exit port on a daily basis.

And they also come in various sizes, like the colossul Megalith Cruise ship, the largest luxury liner in the Diesmaran Empire.

And of course the Island itself is home to plenty of hotels and resorts to accomodate travellers of many wallet sizes. THe most famous being the Park Hyatt hotel.

And while the city is beautifulll in itself, its true beauty only comes out at night.

And the ports still work around this time as well.

The biggest attraction however is at the beach where party-goers light the fires and gather around for celebrations of whatever occasion.

And with that i will leave this here as a farewell to Arcadia as we move on to other parts of the Diesmaran Empire.

Also this journal will be on hiatus for a short while since i wanted to catch up on some other projects. I will also be starting some small mini Cjs soon to feature other nations i have been working on as well. And one of which will take place in a form of a story. Untill then thank you for your support. See you soon.

Hey, yeah its a temporary hiatus still. I plan on going on with it. I just discovered some setbacks on my next planning in sim cty 4. Among other reasons are real life events which happened that i will not divulge.

I was really hoping to have a new entry up sooner but eh. Sincere apologies. I should have one up soon

Trabbuco:  Its from SOMY's site.

Shadow_prophet:  Are you sure this is part of COFR since after what happened?  Anyway, can you email me those spaceships and towers suited for SimMars?  The towers would be in the first 3 entries and the spaceships are from your SM cities.

Evillions: I took off the COFR part in the title already since the COFR  was disbanded so the Diesmaran is officially unionless and i pretty much want it to stay that way for a while. The Towers are on Yuhisa's site. I just relotted the models to different designs. As for the spaceships, i am still working on them but i can e-mail you a few of them to you like when i am free. Just PM me your e-mail.
