Saikyo (西京) is a Japanese-themed City located in the western oceans of Freedonia.
Creation and History
The foundation of Saikyō was laid when Hirudo6 built the Saikyō port and Customs office on July 23rd, 2018. Over the next short period, Hishigata Park, the visitor center, public farm, and Ryokan were all built as well. As of 8/8/18 the enchanting station, watchtower, Shinto Shrine, Beacon, and Potion shop were added.
On August 11th, Admin 
techkid6 connected the town to the nexus, prompting the addition of a landing pad and a new road. Nine days later, the rail station was completed, and has yet to be linked to any locations. By August 27th, the Maneki-Neko Statue and mk59apr's Great Coxwell Barn replica were both completed. Expansion into the swamp biome for the European district was also begun.
On the 17th of September, massive updates to town infrastructure were both started and completed, including standardization of roads, new tunnels, plans for public facilities, and a general nicening of several construction areas. Several weeks later, the town center was completely cleansed to more effectively use the space. Casualties of this event included the original public farm, the cobble hut that housed the Saikyo Nether Portal, and Hishigata park. These buildings were replaced by the Saikyo Printing Office, the bookstore, and a commons area. The original structures were either relocated or planned to be.
The Landscapocalypse
To make way for the increasing urbanization of the town, mass clearing of trees to the west and terraforming of dirt to the east of the island on which Saikyo resides was begun. To date, roughly 1/2 of the total trees have been cleared, consuming 3 unenchanted diamond axes in the process. The large hill where most of the tree clearing took place became the site of the town hall. On the eastern half, the Kyojuu district was formed into a series of tiers, clearing the way for residential plots.
On October 19th, 
DavidRodas01 became the first official resident of the town. Later, Owlsflame built several new houses in the housing district, and both 
ItsADeathTrap and 
ChocoboFan01 began construction on their houses as well.
The Connection
Early in November of 2018, Saikyo’s links to the greater Freedonian world were broadened, as it’s Nexus pads were refurbished and relocated. In using her admin powers to help achieve this, 
Anna_28 left behind an extraneous Nexus return pad. While it still functions, it has since been sealed off as a relic. Several days later, Saikyo’s Nether Portal was relit, with eventual plans to create a link the the NHS.
How to get there
Saikyo can be reached through the Nexus via the West Hub (Blue) 3

Location
Saikyō is located 3500 m west of Obernai and 1000 m North of CoffeeTowne. Currently the Saikyo Passage (West) links Saikyo to the western landmass, providing easier access to settlements like Flarenta and Riverfront, and the Saikyo Passage (East) links Saikyo to further-center landmasses.
Eventually, Saikyo will be linked to the Mushiana Boat Route.
