Lyonesse
The city of Lyonesse is built on the side of an active submarine volcano. This volcano is believed to have once housed previous Donerthians, as when the current residents first discovered Lyonesse they found strange ruins scattered around its base. These founders believed that the prior occupants had committed a great sin against The Mariner and that he had caused an eruption that had killed them all. Believing that they could do better, these Donerthians began construction, and Lyonesse has come to represent the pinnacle of Donerthian society. To their credit, they have succeeded in the intervening years, boasting a population of 18 million Donerthians. The Lyons (as the residents are referred to) have made productive use of the volcano, utilising the magma and nearby hydrothermal vents for construction purposes. The volcano is abundant with copper, gold, cobalt and other rare metals that have been integral to Donerthian scientific advancement. It also facilitates a diverse ecosystem that the Lyons farm to produce some of the most exotic and delicious meals in the galaxy.
