Sermoni (/sɜːr'mɒni/, Vespasian: Sermoni /serˈmo.ni/), shortened version of La Città dei Sermoni di Sant'Andrea dalla Baia, and sometimes referred to as Saint Andrew (Vespasian: Sant'Andrea), is the capital and largest city of Bonaventura. The city is located on the southern bank of the Maruchei River delta by the Womens' bay, in the southern coast of the island. Sermoni is not only the most populated city in Bonaventura, with a population of over 320 thousand people, but also the 3rd most populated in the West Arucian, behind Porte de la Sainte and Tranquille, both located in Sainte-Chloé. Sermoni is also the biggest city in the Sermoni—Riga metropolitan area, the largest urban conglomerate in Bonaventura.

In 1531, a religious mission led by Priest Fosco Barba saw the establishment and construction of the Saint Andrew’s Parish and the Church of Saint Andrew of the Bay over nowadays Uptown Sermoni. Following the Etrurian victory in the Fragmentation war and the arrival of the Accadian Families in the port of the Parish of Saint Andrew, the colony of New Accadia was settled and the Parish had been officially elevated to a village by January 1538. The city that initially was called Saint Andrew of the Bay quickly received the nickname of “the city of sermons,” given the importance and the fervous participation of the local religious community.

The city quickly grew in population, as most of the inhabitants of the then colonial capital city of Riga, which was being constantly raid by pirates. The position of Saint Andrew and the water route necessary to reach it were both strategic and defensively convenient to the New Accadian government. By 1704, Saint Andrew not only officially changed its name to the City of Saint Andrew's Sermons, but also officially became the seat of the colonial administration. However, in 1804, a category 7 earthquake hit the Iacattuotili Valley and it nearly destroyed Sermoni. After almost a decade of reconstruction, the city restablished itself and it has, since then, exponentially grown in area, population, and riches.

Sermoni is a modern economical and social hub not only in Bonaventura, but also in the Arucian. It often tops regional lists in topics such as education, health, infrestucture, entrepeneurship, and quality of life. Sermoni is the most diverse and economically developed city in Bonaventura, being consistantely ranked as a third-rate world city by the World City Studies Institute. The city is a pivotal regional center in technology, business, social and urban development, housing some of the best Arucian universities, such as the Federal University of Saint Andrew, the Laguna University, and the Scientific Institute of Bonaventura.
