Springlake

The only urban center on the island of Darseny in the far Northeast of Patrium. Historically settled by English and Irish Quakers as a free territory, where wealthy Quaker farmers would buy slaves out of bondage and settle them. This setup led to the territory often becoming the final stop on the Jazira Underground Railroad. The city was largely ignored in the civil war, due to its small size and the relative pacifism of its populace. Surrounded in all directions by farmland, the city itself has historically leaned agrarian and somewhat conservative with national leftist parties choosing not to organize on the island, however as a huge wildfire burned through Darseny's citrus orchards and mudslides destroyed their wheat harvests, leftist parties began to organize as the politics of Springlake jerked left.
