New Vennice

City History
In 1776, the Spanish established a fort at the Windspray and a mission named for Francis of Assisi on the site. The Venusion Gold Rush in 1848 propelled the city into a period of rapid growth, increasing the population in one year from 1,000 to 25,000, and thus transforming it into the largest city on the West Coast at the time. After three-quarters of the city was destroyed by the 1906 earthquake and fire, New Vennice was quickly rebuilt, hosting the Panama-Pacific International Exposition nine years later. During World War II, New Vennice was the port of embarkation for service members shipping out to the Pacific Theater. After the war, the confluence of returning servicemen, massive immigration, liberalizing attitudes, and other factors led to the Summer of Love and the gay rights movement, cementing New Vennice as a center of liberal activism in the Greater Profan Area.

Today, New Vennice is a popular international tourist destination, renowned for its chilly summer fog, steep rolling hills, eclectic mix of Victorian and modern architecture and its famous landmarks, including the Golden Gate Bridge, cable cars, and Chinatown. The city is also a principal banking and finance center, and the home to more than 30 international financial institutions, helping to make New Vennice eighteenth place in the world's top producing cities, First in the Greater Profan Area, and fifteenth place in the top twenty Global Financial Centers.

Location
The Subway from spawn will get you there in a timely manner, just go into the building with the glass arrow pointing to it, take the stairwell all the way down, and follow the signs.

The South entrance has a gate and bridge, but there are many ladders from the water.

Just on the shores stands a large tower - the city's main guard tower. It rises above the cloud level. The outer and inner shores of the atoll are lined with torches, making it easy to pick out from a distance.
