Abigail was not just healer, priestess, or a demigod of light she was also an agriculturalist, an alchemist , and very successful businesswoman. After all, running a just simple Manor was a business within itself. She had also added a hospital. A spa within her hot springs and successfully beauty line. Using just the earth.
Even though Abigail's city was being built at the dawn of the rise of the new darkness. Plans for it had been starting even before the void and even Before Abigail had let herself be swayed by old feuds and revenge with Mordred and Monet.
She had been planning the trifecta with Nilsia and Sakura and this City of light. This city was being built to honor the light. The Trifecta itself was forged to show unity. To create a stronger more unified front for the light.
It was being built around Abigail's personal beliefs that all peoples had a right to be healthy, educated. And self-sustaining while still being able to work together. With others who also shared the beliefs of the light.
She had applied this thought in a smaller sense to her manor and Serenity point healing centers.
Now she could apply it to a large population.

Abigail would focus on educating not just for those who could pay for it, but for every citizen.
Form the Poorest to the Wealthiest Family. They would all learn basic reading writing arithmetic, and basic alchemical and scientific fundamentals.
Higher education to skilled Trades, no one would be denied apprenticeships.
People would encourage artistically. In painting, design, architecture. And music.
Science would be encouraged through alchemy and astronomy. And agriculture.
They would be a places of entertainment
Business and trading would be encouraged, docks would in place for both military and trade purposes.
Lawmaking and Court system based around justice and fair treatment and if possible rehabilitation for heinous and violent crimes.
Clear concise laws would be put in place based around the Principles of light.
A military might. Composed of a Naval Fleet, City Guards, a well-trained army, archers,
Siege and engineering workshops. And battle clerics, healers. Platoon of magical means such as wizards and Sorcerers. Using both dark and light powers. As dark did not necessarily pertain to evil.
It would show the world what light meant. The Sun was rising it was new Dawn, and New era of light and Shadow..and so Abigail would name her city. Solaris Dawn

WATER SYSTEMS:
The first order of business was the stability of the mountains and tracking the underground rivers that moved through it.
The quality if the water through it.
It was reported that waters were fresh and pure and almost all streams underground eventually deposited into the sea.
The ones that did not pour down the mountain in fresh sparkling streams.
Soon the all these naturally made tunnels would be mapped and then plans would be made to see the freshwater flow through aqueducts to all over the expanse of her city. And provide fresh water to public baths, latrines, fountains and even private households.
Some would serve for mining, processing manufacturing, and even small amounts of agriculture. And even be used to create a sewer system to wash the human waste away.

The snow melting from the mountains formed to main streams of water one that flowed underground and out through various points in the mountains containing waterfalls and a series of underground streams.
The other was a large lake at the top that formed a medium flow of water. That would split the city into two parts. Using both the underground system and the top system She would easily be able to provide fresh water to everyone.

Once the underwater systems were mapped. And the water quality was deemed pure. Plans were being made over which natural flow would be for sewer and which places would provide fresh water. To private cisterns and wells, This would provide the base over which her city was built.
The thought of having your own private water supply was appealing to many people especially the well to do.
What was nice is providing the fresh water using this method using the natural flow of land and the use of aqueducts along the lake and smaller waterfalls was gravity did all the work For you. All you had to was provide the right tools and supplies for the job.
The above ground conduits for water would be stone slabs flowing downward with offshoots going to various places. To provide public with pools of always fresh water for gathering to households, public bathhouses. And public fountains
While everyone would be provided with own private latrine. Public latrines would be placed in markets and trading areas. Also, the military barracks would have their own latrine.

Using the mapped out system of streams throughout the mountain. Abigail would be able to find singular underwater streams that flowed directly out and to the sea. Where it would greatly decrease the contamination of fresh water meant for her citizens. Houses would be built around where the private latrine would be placed for waste as many houses would use the same stream of water for this purpose.
Toilets and Latrines:
A small stone pedestal would be built over a hole that would be placed slightly at an angle over the natural water stream wherein after doing one's deed, Water could be poured down and the waste would be gone. Because of the quick removal of waste, there would be no lingering smell or the smell of other people.
The same idea for any public latrines and military latrines just on a larger scale.
Public latrines would be scrubbed daily. And fresh buckets water provided for washing of hands the nether regions and flushing of waste.
Bathhouses:
There would be a shared bathhouse for every 20 people in her city. This way she could make them smaller more private and men and women could make times separately. Each bathhouse would be filled using the fresh water from the above ground the aqueducts and would be drained into the underground sewer system, then scrubbed and filled, depending on usage Under each bathhouse would be a small firehouse to heat the water.
Each public bathhouse along would also be equipped with a place to do laundry of one so choose. One could request a private bathhouse to be built but the individual household would be responsible for its upkeep.
Public water fountains:
would be a constant flow steady flow of water coming and water being drained. In some cases it might have a place to pool and keep in constant circulation before draining. No bathing washing or human waste contamination would be allowed at public water fountains this was strictly for drinking and gathering for the household.

MONEY TAXES LAWS:
Abigail manor and small villages surrounding it was extremely self-sufficient. She encouraged barter and trade among themselves. Allowed them to have their own list of land on which to grow vegetables, and animals for trade and there own use
Any tax she charged was very fair and could be used to put back into the farmland. And the payment of her staff.
Her hospital and trade school of healers was free. And staffed by her students and teachers.
Where then? How then? Did Abigail make all her money? She charges heavily for extravagance.
She had on her land she had natural mineral springs. She also beauty creams and other beauty treatments. And people paid a steep price for the look of health and beauty.
She had traveled in her youth and learned
several different variances of health care. She brought some of these back with her. Those that she could apply to the extravagance tax were applied.
Abigail would use these same principles to her city. She would charge for extravagance because people would pay for it. And that is how she would make some of her profit

free education and free healthcare. Would paid for by taxes and some from donations made from influential families
Also any entertainments would provide income
She expected prostitution, And any woman found to be independent prostitute would be expected to pay taxes as if she were a business.

Laws of and Court systems of Solaris Dawn:
Abigail, for the time being, would break down her Law and court systems and disciplinary into Two categories. Criminal and Civil Law.
Criminal Law would include those charged or prosecuted for crimes like Murder, Assault, Robbery.
Civil law would include individual disputes over contracts, property and family law.
The main principles of light :
Solaris Dawn would follow the main principles of light. A small shrine would be available for those who worshiped darkness but all citizens were expected to respect these principles at all times as this city was to be a beacon along with the others in the trifecta.
To always keep yourself attuned to the natural rhythms of the light.
We recognize our intelligence makes us uniquely responsible for our environment and must seek to live in harmony and balance with all.
Acknowledgment that light has a power far greater and more apparent than ourselves.
We believe in affirmation and fulfillment of the light and continuation of our selves for evolution and development of its consciousness. Giving meaning to the light and our place in it.
We strive to harbor no animosity toward others for their beliefs. Or suppress others for their beliefs.
We see light and wisdom in living as being united in the way one views the world and lives within it.
.We believe that we should seek within the Nature of light that which is contributory to our health and well-being.
We recognize all individuals who practice the way of the light are fallible and we believe all can come back to principles of light.

There would be two residences at the top of one would be Abigail's residence, the other the astronomy tower.
Stairways arches and domes would be chiseled and carved out of the rocks with naturally occurring pyrite mineral. marble and quartz would be shipped in, along with limestone and woods like juniper and olive. This city would. not crumble due to age.
White Marble, gray and pink slabs of quartz that shimmered lightly in the sun. The rock of the mountain contained pyrite to make it appear as is if everything had a gold shimmer. And slightly metallic. And the variations of color of limestone. Made this city beautiful on its own.

During the building process, the craftsmen used pulleys, ladders, and ropes. Working from top to bottom they used picks, hammers and claw chisels on the outer surfaces. The entire city would complex. Not just houses and streets were being created.and carved. But tombs. A treasury, an amphitheater that could hold over 3000 people.
Gently sloped Covered and sometime tunneled walkways to keep one protected from the elements. And wound in and out through the city. Gently sloped streets, Wide streets are two wagons wide would weave their way back and forth in a zig zag motions. and the city would be covered in greenery and flowers.
And mountain passes created to let the city farmers who lived behind them and merchants bring their food, livestock, and tradable items.

The astronomy tower description.
The astronomy tower would be the highest building even overbearing the abigails residence at the top. This would be shared building for the city's mages and alchemists and scientists. This was to show Abigail's love for progress and the scientific method.
It would be a large tower reaching toward the heavens made of the same materials already mentioned. On the front would be a large clock
Having three main components.
An astronomical dial showing the positions of the sun and the moon and various other astronomical details. A calendar dial representing the months and the season and clock dial.
On either side of the clock, various gods and goddess of light would be displayed. On the hour notable figures of light and Tyran would come out and move around in a circle. and the figure of Abigail would strike a chime noting the time.

The Cathedral of Light description :
In the center and middle of the city would stand A cathedral of light. The largest building in the city
The Cathedral was placed in the middle so that it would represent that focus on community and the core of the city. To represent that without the light, This place would not exist. Nor would the trifecta.
This would also house a place for the trifecta to meet A place for the God of light and his family to stay should he choose to visit. It would be constructed using only the whitest marble. And quartz.
The outside would be carved again along the wide arch with all the past and current gods/goddess of light with room for the future ones to be carved.
Along with front facing walls and pillars would be carved all notable people associated with the light. Past and present With spaces to carve future generations of notables.
The doors would be carved with all the symbols of light the gods and goddess of the past and present had used with space to carve the future symbols
Inside would not only be Architecturally significant. But it would have richly carved furniture. Beautifully detailed paintings of different scenes of how the light influenced tyran through the generations with space left to paint future stories
Plaques dedicated to the towns story and the trifecta and how it came to be.
Along with art and sculpture and paintings made by its own citizens. It would hold at the front a statue of Denizen. In front that a pulpit where Abigail would speak weekly on the principles of light. And teach people its sacred songs and prayers.
Behind dennizen would be a passage door into the mountain for the citizens to escape the city if need be.

Her large residence, Placed by the mountain lake. Around it were high walls guarded well and made stones marble and quartz. With towers. Placed at all for corners. It would have rather a large yard so that Abigail could still have her plants and gardens. It would have its own stables and smithy.
Upon entering the residence you are greeted grand hall and floors made of marble covered with greenery and flowers. On either side and a long blue and gold carpet running up the middle with large fireplace behind the thrones to warm the room in cold weather
The ground floor would also hold the kitchen a foyer, servants quarters, dining room and lounge and library, music and entertainment room.
Off of the Kitchen, you would find the servant quarters, and storeroom stairs heading to the cellar. And separate stair leading to first and the second floor
In the cellar, you would find the wine and Ale, a strong room and another storage room that held to a secret passage for a quick escape if needed.
The first floor would hold the bedrooms, a family withdrawing room. Office and private decks looking out over the landscape and lake.
The second floor would be guest rooms. for people of importance and visiting family.
The entire villa would be decorated with richly carved decorated furniture and fireplaces, grand tapestries, artwork, and more greenery and flowers statues. Freshwater would be pumped straight into her residence from the mountain lake
behind the residence would be small chapel and shrine facing the temple for her and her families own personal meditation and worship of the light.

Abigail was no Military Master by any means. She knew basic logistics and she would highly depend on other people of more military mind to guide her.
As well as the examples of others and what she had observed in battles where she was a healer.
Abigail's army would be governed by Longbowmen, crossbowmen, foot soldiers, Halberdiers, Spearman, Calvary, and Knights.
All citizens men and weapon alike would be trained in some sort of military likeness though not everyone would be a soldier. being able to protect oneself or family and children at least on the defense would save countless lives.
Her navel army would consist of both oared and sailing ships. Her ships would be equipped with an underwater battering ram. Siphons to shoot fire. Heavy cross bolts. And some would carry cannons. And well-trained men in and combat and archers.
Abigail would pay special attention to entrances leading in and out of the city. Since they had private sources of water she need not worry so much about protecting water supplies still she would place a few guards at the entrances of the caves in the mountains in which people entered to mapped the water lines and underground rivers.
Abigail would have trained healers specifically for battles and well as battle clerics. (Fully explained in another post.)
On the land, large tall and fortified walls would place around the entrances of the city to protect its citizens.

Abigail would have several docks if anything She loved organization and filing and having place for everything.
For the dry dock :
A large basin was excavated capable of containing the largest ships , and in it heavy crosswise beams were laid down upon a foundation of pillars. Then (a breach was made) so that the basin quickly filled with water, using the tide after which the ships were towed in above the beams. Once the tide rolled out the breach was blocked so that the ships rested quite in the air. On the beams.
When the repairs were complete, the water was let in again, so that the ships were afloat once more and could leave the dock.
Two military docks on either side of the city acted as gateway to let merchant ships in and raiding ships out.
The middle dock would be used for trading merchant and delivery ships and transporting people to and from the capitol.
