Les Préludes is a riparian northern city. Les Préludes provides the southwestern inland leg of the Anglo-Russo-Hungarian Megalopolitan Complex. Residents of this city exhibit a strong preference for symphonic poems when it comes to their musical entertainment.
As of the 250 AI Census, Les Préludes had a population of 185,694 residents, making it the Illuminatia's 42nd-largest city. Les Préludes has experienced impressive growth since then and it is estimated the city will have a population over 680,000 by the 300 AI Census, an increase of more than 360% over 50 AU.
A secondary settlement city, Les Préludes was established when settlers from primary settlement cities along the western coast of the Anglo-Hungarian Bay moved inland and downriver and set up fort at the city's current location at a fork in the river. The city is now populated predominantly by descendants of the third multiversal duplication of the Lucidus I ship.
Les Préludes was named in honor of an ancient Earthly classical music composition.
