The walled city
Stockington (officially Stockington Base) is the DJEM Capital. It is where the government of the kingdom and empire is centred, and is recognized as the densest city in Havenland. The city’s name “Stockington” is actually a misspelt “Stackington" as the city was named after the word “Stack” for its environment of high rise towers and buildings that are made of stacked blocks from the ground up. The misspelt name, and generally used, Stockington later adopted the etymology of "stocked city" or "a town full of stock" due to the abundance of goods and industries in the city. Stockington sprouted in the late 2014 and early 2015 when the Palace of DJEM was built. The walls were built to serve as protection from sieges and a margin for the Stockington canvas of construction projects.
Legend
The Stockington River was formerly the site of the Old Kingdom of Haven where the ancient Havenish people dwelled on the riverbed through land reclamation using dams. It was a protective strategy as settling on the riverbed made the civilization invisible from the surface, it also made it less likely to be spotted by raiders. One terrible calamity, a powerful storm, destroyed the dams and reflooded the entire reclamation, swiftly drowning the kingdom. Survivors fled the site and did not return. Descendents, however, returned to the river to honour their national heritage by establishing The State of Haven, which later united with the Duane Jared States of Minecraft (DJSM) to form the Kingdom of Havenland. Today, the river is surrounded by the modern Havenish city of Stockington; and ruins from the Old Kingdom of Haven, especially the castle, can be found at the end of the river inside Crown Residence estate.
