===New City===
New City refers to land which was once an elevated hill known as the ''Caelian Hill'' or ''Collis Caelius'' which had a commanding view of the [[Urce River]], the Flats, and Old City of Urceopolis. It became a natural expansion of the early city and was the site of several fortifications and large homes during the early peak of the city under [[Great Levantia]]. As the city declined, the Caelian Hill/New City area became the site of the fortified mansion of the [[Julian dynasty]] known as the [[Julian Palace|Domus Julii]]. Gradually, the home of the Julians spread out across the hill and today encompasses much of New City as the [[Julian Palace]]. The Palace and New City are home to the [[Government of Urcea]], and accordingly the borough is almost entirely comprised of either the Palace, various chapels and churches, or ancillary government office buildings.
