History
Redemption was founded by approximately three hundred members of the second wave of Roman refugees, which arrived in Hesperidesia in 72 AD.
Redemption’s industrial boom in the late 19th and early 20th centuries transformed the city into an industrial capital of the Blackhelm Confederacy. The construction of massive steel mills, refineries, and assembly plants led to rapid urbanization. By the early 20th century, the city's skyline was dominated by towering smokestacks and monolithic skyscrapers, with intricate networks of elevated railways crisscrossing the city.
Infrastructure
The canal system, historically important for trade, has been modernized and expanded to accommodate larger vessels. These canals remain a vital part of the city’s transportation infrastructure, allowing for the smooth transit of heavy materials between industrial zones. Additionally, Redemption’s airship docking stations enable rapid long-distance travel and freight movement, underscoring the city’s importance as a major transportation hub within the Confederacy.
