Sector Two
Ruled by Cerys
Sector Two is by far the most affluent of the sectors, considered by some to be even more opulent than Eden itself. They serve as Eden’s intermediaries with other surviving cities, reaping the benefits of being the main trading hub–and shouldering the risks, as well. Savvy businessmen who can anticipate–or create–demand for the products they’ve managed to import live on lush estates where they’re waited on by retainers who are little more than indentured servants.
Trade might be the major industry, but the true power in Sector Two rests not with the businessmen, but with their companions. It’s tradition for each man in Two to acquire the services of a girl from one of the main training houses. Part hostess, part assistant, the women are trained openly as mistresses–and not-so-openly as spies.
The women who run the training houses of Sector Two know more about the dirty secrets seething beneath Eden and the Sectors than the entire Council and all the Sector Leaders combined. Their leader, Cerys, uses that knowledge ruthlessly, making her one of the most formidable power players in her world.
