Once the Shining Jewel of all the World's Desire, Lisboa, forged by Ulysses has suffered much over the years. Yet, the 20th century has pumped fresh blood into the aging collosus. Thanks to the extermination of their Atlantic rivals by Hitler's craven ambition, Lisboa reemerged as the most paramount port city in Western Europe, serving as a beacon for commerce and migration to any Eastward Travellers from the Americas. With the entry to the Tejo guarded by Christ on one side and the New Colossus on the other, Lisboa is without question the city that bears the ripest fruit from the so-called "Iberian Project".

Despite this untold prosperity, its citizens do not find themselves wholly supportive of the regime that governs them. Torn between the mays of Charybdis - Caetano's Reformist influence on the city from his position of Dean of the University of Lisbon - and the many heads of Scylla - Borges' Conservative compadres in the City Council - the ideals of Liberalism and Socialism call Lisboa home. From the dock workers to the university students, the city would become a beacon for Reformist thought, at least outside its government. Despite itself, Lisboa still stands tall as a bastion of concord in the barbarity that is Europe in the 20th century, even if some inside it would prefer for it not to be the case. However, as for what the future holds? Only Christ understands. And he is content to watch over the city in stony silence.
