AWstin

AWstin is a fictional city in the world of Eldoria, serving as the economic and administrative centre of Redhaven Province. Located at the confluence of the River Vys and a coastal estuary, it experiences a temperate climate with wet springs and warm summers.

Historically, AWstin began as a trading post established in the early 18th century by merchant families. It developed into a regional hub for commerce, shipbuilding, and rail transport. The city adopted a mayor-council form of government in the 19th century and gained provincial status in 1892. A reconstruction program after major fires in the 1930s reshaped the skyline and expanded public spaces.

The city operates under a mayor-council system with a seven-member executive and a 15-seat council. Local policy emphasizes urban renewal, public transit, and environmental sustainability.

The economy is diversified, anchored in logistics, manufacturing, higher education, and technology startups. The AWstin Central University and Redhaven Tech Park are among the main institutions driving activity. The port and rail interchange support regional trade.

The population is about 210,000 residents, with a mix of communities contributing to a multilingual and multicultural culture. Annual events include the Riverfront Festival and the AWstin Arts Biennale. Notable landmarks include the Azure Cathedral and Rivergate Tower.

The city hosts AWstin Central University, two technical institutes, and a network of public libraries. Transportation infrastructure includes AWstin Central Station, a light-rail system, bus rapid transit, and a harbor facility.
