Gabrieli
Gabrieli, Illuminatia
Gabrieli is a coastal city situated among the fjords of the western coast of northwestern Illuminatia's Baroque Isle. Gabrieli existed for much of its history as a sleepy port town on the far side of the world away from Illuminatia's hustle and bustle and for some time resisted much of the Illuminatian government's population expansion efforts. But recently, the town gave way to the tide and allowed exploding population growth attributed mostly to migration; Gabrieli then grew readily into a role as the largest city on the island's western coast.
As of the 250 AI Census, Gabrieli had a relatively modest population of 17,575 residents. Gabrieli, however, experienced astounding growth not long after its founding and it is estimated the city will have a population of approximately 200,000 by the 300 AI Census. This increase of a whopping 1,000% over 50 AU is expected to make Gabrieli Illuminatia's 140th-largest city.
Gabrieli is a primary settlement city and is populated primarily by descendants of the third multiversal duplication of the Lucidus I ship.
Gabrieli was named in honor of one or two Earthly composers of classical music. Nobody is entirely certain now, but there are portions of the city dedicated to either possible lender of the city's name.
