New Edinburgh
New Edinburgh is a city founded in 1762 by the Stewart sisters, Elspeth, Katrina, Violet, and Effie. The sisters were all Guardians, with Elspeth being the first. The city was founded on the planet Clivilius, not Earth, and the Guardians traveled back and forth between the two worlds.
The fifth Guardian, William Brodie, was an Edinburgh city councillor who had a secret life as a housebreaker. Elspeth, who was in love with him, enlisted his help and that of his small band of thieves to provide New Edinburgh with supplies.
Chewbathia is a military hub in the main city of Clivilius, founded by the Stewart sisters as part of their ambitious campaign to conquer the vast desert lands. Charity, a Chewbathian Hunter, belongs to an elite branch and was trained in the arts of war from a young age. The founding Guardians of Chewbathia hailed from a place called Scotland, and English is spoken due to their influence.
