Sector One
Ruled by Gideon
Sector One is ruled by Gideon Rios, grandson of Fernando Rios. Fernando Rios was not just the original ruler, but also the founder–and prophet–of the dominant religion in the sector. His belief system rejected the harsh and sterile dogma of Eden in favor of passionate and unwavering love–spiritual, emotional and physical.
The strength of his convictions gathered him a devoted following, but his belief in his own infallibility eventually lead to a violent civil war within the sector. Though the ideal of love triumphed in the end, the Rios family was torn apart in the process. Gideon rules the sector with a more tempered approach to his grandfather’s principles.
Group marriages are common within Sector One. Families combine to form small communes that specialize in various trades and, for the most part, make use of a barter system. As there’s always a demand within Eden for high-quality handcrafted goods, people in the sector trade extra wares to shops within Eden in exchange for supplies they don’t have access to outside the walls.
The sector is patrolled and policed by Gideon’s Riders, a group of trained fighters absolutely loyal to Gideon. Outside of enforcing peace, their primary goal is protecting and helping people who are suffering under the harsh conditions in the sectors. Sector One is a close ally of Sector Four, in part because Gideon’s cousin is a member of Dallas O’Kane’s inner circle.
