Redmound

Redmound is a vastly important city in the Hanseatic League of Guffingford. Many important (government) buildings are located here, since it has served as the nation capital during the years of civil and military unrest after Guffingford gained independence from Knootoss in 1902.

In 1906 when deism became the official state religion, the Church of Deism in Guffingford was officially granted a See and a Patriarch was appointed by a conclave of prominent church leaders, investers and mayors. Redmound was chosen to serve as this See because it was the most godless city in the country and a priest said: "If I cannot build a church in Redmound and if I cannot cleanse people of their sins, then this city is not worthy of God." That said, and the priest succeeded and since then the city served as the Sancta Sedes Guffingfordii, also known as Saint Christopher's See. Sounds like an absurd condition, but somehow it bears some of Guffingfords logic within.

Redmound is the religious capital of Guffingford, the Patriach's palace is located, and the Cathedral of the Sacred Blood. The religious parts of town are relatively new compared to the older parts in which the brothels, gambling holes and other low forms of entertainment were organised during the wild years of Guffingford.

Some people argue Redmound's not a fitting place for a Holy See for Deism, because of the tumultous history of the city.
