Lucia

Lucia (LOO-tsee-ah)

Lucia is a beautiful city, just south of Central in the inner most ring. It's people are known for being far friendlier then the people of most of the inner cities. They are very active in trading, and most merchants love visiting Lucia. The majority of the populous are avid drinkers, and with most being well off they enjoy spending their free time drinking together and having a merry time! The city has a decent mix of very wealthy nobles, along with middle class civilians. They don't seem to have any major 'poor' issues, except the occasional beggar. But it seems that most people manage to make a pretty decent living in Lucia.

A good chunk of the people have made their wealth as traders, so they often travel between cities. They have their own horse population and take great pride in them. The nobles often take up breeding horses for grace and beauty, and Dressage has become a popular pass time for many. They take great pride in breeding graceful horses of many shapes and sizes. Their horses are significantly different from the ones bred for use by the Recon Corps, and while the people of Lucia consider their horses to be superior, when it comes to actual performance there is no doubt the Recon horses are stronger, faster, and with more endurance. Even if they do look rather plain.

The people of Lucia don't seem to have a high opinion of the people of Lydian, and sometimes they are at odds with one another. Despite their usual friendliness, Lydian seems to be the only city that Lucia isn't fond of. Despite this they still trade with Lydian, even if it is begrudgingly.

While the women enjoy the breeding and showing of horses, the men of Lucia take great pride in their swordsmanship. They love a good fencing match, and out of all the cities Lucia has the best track record when it comes to producing skilled swordsman.

The people of Lucia are a mix of white and slightly tanned, with their hair colors ranging from blond to brown. They also have a wide variety of eye color, so there isn't really one specific 'look' that the Lucians have. Some people in Lucia speak Spanish.
