'''Seekant''', officially the '''Federal City of Seekant''', is the capital and second largest city of [[Alaoyi]] as well as one of the largest urban areas in South Galia. Over a million people live in the municipality with 3.6 million living in the urban area and 6.1 million in the metropolitan area. The city stretches along the eastern coast of Alaoyi. The city lies on several different islands and on the mainland of Alaoyi. The area was settled sometime in the early 1500s, around the time migrating Onslanders were traveling to what is now Alaoyi. The city was first mentioned as ''Wogemantel'' in a sales receipt for iron from 1591. As the Onslander language evolved, the name "Seekant" began to become more common. From 1607 to the early nineteenth century, Seekant was the largest city in the [[Onslander Empire]], although [[Rivierkant]] was the capital.
