Londinium

Location from Arknights by Hypergryph

Victoria's occupied heart — the empire's capital now under Sarkaz military control, where the Shard has been modified into a weapon capable of creating Catastrophes on command.

Londinium under occupation is a city holding its breath. The grandeur remains but feels hollowed out — like a cathedral repurposed as a barracks. The Sarkaz Military Commission controls key infrastructure, and Theresis's modification of the Shard into a Catastrophe manipulator has turned the city's most iconic structure into a weapon of mass destruction aimed at Terra itself. Civilians navigate curfews and checkpoints with the practiced efficiency of people who have learned which streets are safe at which hours. The Victorian resistance operates from the margins, and Rhodes Island's involvement in liberating the capital is one of the story's climactic arcs.

Appearance

A grand imperial capital of Victorian-era grandeur — massive government buildings, the royal palace, industrial districts, and the Shard (a towering structure of ancient origin). Under Sarkaz occupation, the city is scarred: military checkpoints, damaged buildings, and the presence of Military Commission forces patrolling streets designed for a different empire's soldiers. The Shard dominates the skyline, modified with Originium technology that makes it glow with an unsettling energy.

Also known as: Victoria's Capital, The Occupied City
