Redswyth is a city in northern Noua Cymru and the centre of Kelssek's sixth-largest metropolitan area. Including the cities of Saintsport, Roseford, and Landslaff, Greater Redswyth has a population of over 4.7 million. Located 65 kilometres inland from the Pacific Ocean, Redswyth is connected to the ocean via the Saintsport Canal, a key historic infrastructure project completed in 6 FE that helped the Kelssek confederation gain legitimacy in the wake of the revolution.
Historically a centre of industrial production, Redswyth is still home to a great deal of aerospace and auto manufacturing. It is also home of the ancient University of Redswyth, one of the most prestigious universities in Kelssek. The Merkwell district is a heritage area known for its ornate buildings faced with red bricks.
Redswyth is served by Kieran Pearson Airport (code: RDS). New Saintsport Harbour has been developed in recent years to massively increase shipping capacity in northern Noua Cymru and is Kelssek's fourth-busiest seaport by cargo volume.
Sports
Rugby and ice hockey are the most popular sports in Redswyth. The Redswyth Rebels have won four Rugby Superleague titles and play home matches at Millennium Park, a stadium with a capacity of over 53,000 built on the site of, and partially incorporating, the historic Bailey Gate stadium. Redswyth Union won the Kelssek Hockey League pennant and one Desjardins Cup in recent years, and play at the Salmonwynd Arena. The Redswyth Marlins of the Water Polo Premier League are based at Lancswold Athletic Centre.
In football, the Redswyth Red Stars hold the distinction of being the first winners of the Patriotes Cup. Saintsport Heath, although based in the neighbouring city of Saintsport, have more recently gained a following in Redswyth proper as they enjoyed spells in the KFL Championship, Kelssek's first division.
