The continents of Gaia and the key locations within.

SHA

"THE PRISM"

Sha, or "The Prism" is the largest multi-cultural gathering of species in Gaia with over 90 different species and 120 different languages spoken.It has the highest population of all continents on Gaia, and is the pinnacle of technological advancement and security, protected by the Arxemis Program, Sha is oppressive and highly controlled for those who don't know their way around the Cities."The Prism" is made up entirely of large, interconnected cities, adorned in neon lights and saturated tones - home to the highest technological advancement on Gaia's surface, Sha is blindingly beautiful, but a deep rot hides behind the flash of the lights. Sex, drugs and violence are the main attractions in Sha - a brilliant, filthy eyesore.Sha is a marvel of advancement that stands in it's own league besides Gaia's other continents. A testiment to the future to come, an idealogy that vastly differs from Sha's relative continents.Sha believes in progress above all else, but this systematic forward path stood to crush the rest of Gaia underfoot, a threat that quickly came to light as Sha expanded into the Gaian Sea. A communion of realms was called, and a single revered figurehead of each continent came together to seek a treaty with Sha to halt the islands destructive pursuit.
The treaty was signed, and a binding agreement of solidarity in contrast has shaped Gaia since it's creation. Because of this treaty, each realm unites with their respect for the differences of their continents they are stalwart in protecting their dissimilarities - garnering pride for their unique strengths and creating clear boundaries for their cultures. This treaty keeps Sha's advancements restricted within it's land-rights, allowing Deyas, Enai and Terra their own unique regulations and disallowing Sha's technology into their land.Specializing in data vaulting, interplanetary import and exports, vehicles, and the creation of biological energy weapons and machinery, Sha holds a level of financial superiority within the universe, but it is overrun by corruption, organized crime and gang violence, illegal underground clubs and prostitution rings that cripple the modern multicultural metropolis it claims to be.

SHA CITY POINTS OF INTEREST

CENTRALS

Centrals or "Hubs" are the centre point of every city in Sha - Sha City itself having the largest central in all of Gaia.When the city's of Sha were founded, the centrals were made to be the point of community, business and trade all condensed into one easily-monitored location. A place where Arxemis could keep a vice grip on all trade within the city's without needing to spread their forces thin. Home to everything, from food destinations, medical centre's and clinics, megacorporations, plazas, event facilities and more, a Central is the only point of commerce you need, unless you don't like having Arxemis breathing down your neck...

"THE CLINIC"

The Clinic is owned by Drath and Dashiell, an under-the-radar medical clinic that is well known for it's discretion, unlawful practises and secretly doubles as a secret lab and living quarters for the Neosi species.The Clinic, despite it's name is actually a hospital and health care institution providing patient treatment with specialized medical and nursing staff mostly made up of Neosi and other medical professionals under Drath's employment. The Clinic is deceptively large; seemingly regulation sized, it includes trauma centers, rehabilitation wings, psychiatric wings, general medical wings and more above ground, but a secret and secure elevator will take you below ground where the Clinic truly thrives. It's entirely funded and owned by Drath, and with his reputation, Arxemis has allowed the Clinic to be left entirely to Drath's devices, allowing it to fall under the radar.

THE UNDERLAB

The Underlab is a secret expansive community that lies beneath The Clinic. Accessible by an elevator protected by hightech recognition technlogy, it permits only a Neosi branded by Drath to enter - it features a hydroponic garden, a swimming pool and heated spa, a community center, entertainment wings and multiple wings of fully fleshed-out mini homes for each Neosi.The entrance to the Underlab is a reinforced elevator with military-grade sheeting for protection. It allows access by scanning the inner makeup of the user, and only allowing Neosi branded by Drath to enter. Its interior is a series of modular spaces centred around the garden, a focal point with access to an underground park including a fully artificially planted ecosystem of grass, trees, water and shrubbery. 3,200 sq-ft is dedicated to growing crops, illuminated by violet LED lighting 24 hours a day. Electricity for the entire Lab is produced via redundant systems including a multi-million credit generator hooked up to a self refueling reserve created by the Doctor. It features a hydroponic garden, a swimming pool and heated spa, a community center, entertainment rooms and multiple wings of fully fleshed-out mini homes for each Neosi that include everything from a bedroom, bathroom, kitchen and "backyard" space that leads into sectioned areas of the underground park. There’s a cinema room, surgery room, gym, and a repair room for cybernetics or bunker support elements.The Neosi all have their own homes built for them, and the Underlabs forever expanding space makes the expansion nearly limitless. The Neosi have a strong sense of community, and often dislike the idea of leaving their species and the Underlab permanently, usually happily living there after their nascency and taking up support jobs around the Clinic to help out and earn their own credits, or branch off on their own into Medical or Psychiatric fields to begin operating under the protection of the Clinic.Drath's lab can be accessed only by an seperate elevator protected by a hightech recognition technlogy and is entirely protected, even from the Neosi. This lab is where all Neosi were created, and only a few have ever set foot back in there after their nascency. This is where Drath performs his experiments, and he spends most of his time down there - most Neosi, Including Dashiell, that live in the underlab only see him on rare occassions.

ARXEMIS PROGRAM HQ

Arxemis Program HQ is a massive skyscraper located in the Downtown Central, Sha City. It is the building that dominates the skyline of the city and is Arxemis's most secure location in Gaia.

TERRA

"THE ISLAND OF GOLD"

Terra, or "The Island of Gold" is a continent of pure, natural wealth.Home to the Baquit, Terra is fiercely protected by one of the most powerful organic species on Gaia, but the real power comes from the continent itself. Alive, much like it's sister island, it protects itself by whatever means necessary. Keeping itself away from those who wish to harm it, The island of Terra lifts itself out of it's watery resting place, and into the air, keeping the land mass afloat above the ocean and out of harms way. To reach the continent is almost impossible due to the land's aversion to wanderers and the Baquit's violent distaste of visitors.Terra is almost entirely made up of heavy rain forests and rich jungles, with floating crystal formations and beautiful natural waterholes, the continent is a stunning display of natural purity, but the real wealth lives deep within it's core - a wealth many wish to get their hands on.

DEYAS

"THE ISLAND OF FARE"

Deyas is the land of agriculture and growth. Being the main continent for all of Gaia's produce, Deyas has an incredible ability to grow and harvest food from the earth as well as feed and sustain stock for meat.Deyas is home solely to the Talis, a diverse wandering species with unique soul shards who are mostly known as travellers across Gaia and protectors of Deyas who specialise in trade and farming.
Like it's sister island, Deyas is a living island, a beautiful mother who provides for all of her inhabitants, with a brilliant soul-shard of her own. She has protected herself alongside the Talis for thousands of years, but in the last few centuries, her soul-shard has become corrupted by the manifestations that continue to haunt her once pure expanse. The Talis, also susceptible to the same corruption, spend their lives warding off the corruption and trying to purify Deyas' heart before she, and her bounty are lost to corruption forever.When Deyas' health was comprimised, all travel was shut down and the continent has been closed for entry since. With strict regulations and trade comprimises in place, the continent is almost impossible to enter without rigorous safety precautions and months worth of testing to ensure no corruption can spread to or from Deyas, only the Talis born on Deyas now stay to keep the trade and growth alive, as well as protecting the mother from the manifestations of corruption.

ENAI

"THE MISTWATER ISLAND"

From the moment the island was uncovered within the mist, Enai has been ruled by a successive feudal military called the Sheren Ten. The Ten rule in the name of the Emperor/Empress of Enai, a powerful leader that holds the power to rule over the entire continent. This position is highly sought after, and many other opposing militaries have arisen to claim the throne.Due to the successive system, war is common within the city societies, this means most Enaian citizens within the cities are trained to fight at a young age and excel with using master-crafted swords that harness the power of Terra. These weapons are sacred within Enaian culture - with crystals from Terra's very core refined in Sha and fused with Enaian Saqesse steel to make blades, they are extremely durable and powerful weapons.The code of etiquette in Enai differs greatly from other continents and is considered cardinal among Enai's people. Status and power are extremely important due to their successive system, and ones respect for those high in status shows greatly in Enai's people.The island is made up of 65% water, and Enaians have created beautiful cities that rest upon the giant lakes the continent is known for.This beautiful continent holds strong social values and a protected culture unlike any other. This culture is even greatly respected outside of Enai and the continent's beauty has created a large influx of visitors from other continents - the cities becoming places of leisure for tourists and the outer wilds slowly being built to house more and more natural lodgings that bring notice to Enai's beautiful natural lakes and hotsprings.Enai has the second highest population of all the continents, just under Sha at 75 different species, but with only 2 different languages spoken, traditional Enai'se and the global language.The Mistwater Island is lush with landscapes of gorgeous lakes, natural hot springs and scarce mountain ranges that paint the misty horizon - Enai makes for a beautiful escape from the bustle of Sha, with a sense of civilization that is lost in Terra's rainforests, making for a perfect middle ground.

"Δ∴"

"THE VISAGE"

"Visage" or "Δ∴" (due to it's nature, these two symbols are the closest organic symbols available to write it's name, but is sadly a poor rendition.) is a masked space station that is called home for all Bionics, High above all of the worlds atmospheres, completely unreachable by any being with lungs or flesh, even reinforced Gaian metals cannot withstand the atmosphere that the Bionics so easily walk.The Visage floats gracefully in-between the stars, an intricate cylinder design made of indestructible, undiscovered material, hosting entire inorganic ecosystem and galaxies in a cylindrical shaped station, it rotates so as to provide artificial gravity via centrifugal force on their inner surfaces.The station rotates in opposite directions in order to cancel out any gyroscopic effects, allowing for entire ecosystems, life and gravity to exist directly above other systems inside of the same cylinder.Deeper inside, bionics live under the fear of the Diadem, their creators.though all rule is delivered by the diamond table in their place. The Visage lives as any Bionic, shifting and reshaping to the Bionics needs.

CURRENCY

Most currency in Gaia is digitalized - all general currencies, despite their continental origin, are managed, stored or exchanged on the digital N.E.T.

Most currency is exchanged between persons via neural link and directly transferred into their accounts, though realms like Terra and Deyas still use physical currencies.

LOCATIONS

The suburbs of Storm City and the key locations within.

HORIZON VALLEY

"THE HIGH"

Horizon Valley makes up a small segment of Storm City. A large, high class district that thrives on the harmony of its neighborhoods. Horizon Valley is recognized across the world as a very passionate sports district and is a leader in attempts at reforming public schools, providing "affordable" housing in "economically sound communities", ensuring accessibility for all, and fostering, social, economic and environmental sustainability... as long as you have the money.Unfortunately, no amount of money nor the desperate attempts at normality from the wealthy can possibly cover the rot that spreads through Storm City, and it reaches even here in Horizon Valley.Horizon Valley has a record number of sports scholarships in Storm City. Considered a high class district with the highest number of middle-class citizens by 21% compared to other districts. Horizon Valley Creek private college was awarded Best College in 1987. Lowest crime rate in Storm City (not by much).

HORIZON VALLEY POINTS OF INTEREST

GATED COMMUNITY'S

Many high class gated communities exist within Horizon Valley, each one housing medium to high class residents and their families. Though they believe they are safe from the horrors of Storm City, they are anything but.

HORIZON VALLEY PRIVATE UNIVERSITY

Established in 1666, Horizon Valley Private University is the oldest institutions of higher learning in the Cium and among the most prestigious in the country. The university is composed of ten academic faculties plus the Point Institute for Advanced Study. Arts and Sciences offers study in a wide range of academic disciplines for undergraduates and for graduates, while the other faculties offer only graduate degrees, mostly professional.Horizon Valley Private University seems excellent on the outside, but harbors a lot of horrifying secrets that the council succeeds in hiding at every turn - from bodies found on campus, teachers under criminal investigation, money laundering and two of the most high profile murder cases in Storm City, HVPU keeps it's image flawless using money and lies.

CENTRAL UNIVERSITY OF MURPHY CREEK

Founded by Martha Murphy in 1902, Murphy Creek became a four-year coeducational college in 1926. Historically nondenominational, the College embraces such Christian principles as inclusivity and service, encourages examination of faith and values, and is welcoming and respectful to those from all religious backgrounds.Murphy Creek is a typical public university and is often scrutinized by the wealthier attendants of Horizon Valley Private University for being "low class".

MID CITY

"THE MARROW"

Mid City is the central point of Storm City, housing most of the cities health care institutions, shopping districts, housing districts and industrial sectors.Mid City is well known for it's health care, featuring over 12 different medical and psychological centers and 4 general hospitals than span over the entire locale.Other than medical care, Mid City features multiple shopping districts and lower-tier housing districts.Considered a lower class district with the highest number of lower-class citizens by 31% compared to other districts. Mid City holds the record breaking number of medical institutions in one district compared to other Cities in Cium at a total of 16.

MID CITY POINTS OF INTEREST

AMITY HOSPITAL

Situated on the edge of Mid City and Timber Lake's neighbouring forest, Amity hospital was founded in 1868 by Alacar-Sortain Amity to assist people living in poverty. Here, they could work in exchange for care, food and housing. Over time, the massive grounds were utilized and it evolved into a hospital. Eventually, it grew even larger to include a mental hospital and hundreds of wards. To this day, Amity Hospital still stands as the largest hospital in Storm City and the private grounds where Amity was built has been recorded as one of the largest privately owned plots in Cium.Amity Hospital has a dark history leading all the way back to it's founding, but has been placed under heavy government protection which has concealed it's history from the modern world.

MID CITY PIT

A nightclub nestled within the high streets of Mid City - Mid City Pit is one of the oldest clubs in Storm City.
After chaning ownership in 2010 due to the sudden death of the long-time owner, it is now secretly owned by the Criminal King, Muller; it's a hotspot for all citizens of Storm City and a place of high repute and higher revenue.Despite being used as a front for Mullers criminal empire, it manages to stay completely neutral ground for both the Criminal Kings, innocents and the law of Storm City; continuing to remain a "safe zone" where Criminal Kings are exempt from the law. Here, information is traded between the Kings and the Law - and Muller can continue his weapon trade beneath the law's reach.

REGENCE DISTRICT

Regence District is a major shopping district located at the heart of Mid City's center. It is well-known to be a great lifestyle destination, famous for its flagship stores and international brands, but the tourist rate has dropped exponentially since 1997 due to the dangers posed by the city.

STORM CITY CORRECTIONAL FACILITY (SCCF)

Storm City's sole prison, SCCF is notorious for long sentance rehabilitation for petty offences relating to drugs and minor crimes - using the money gained from keeping and gaining inmates to fund secret operations for Storm City officials. It's rumored that Storm City kingpins who are held here recieve high-level treatment compared to other inmates, more-so if they're in direct leagues with the criminal system.

FOOL'S CROSS

"THE LOW"

Fool's Cross is a small abandoned district located between Horizon Valley and Mid City - a small zone that connects directly to the outskirts and the forests of Timber Lake. Fool's Cross was to be a luxury gated district for the wealthiest patrons of Storm City, with large-scale plans for high-rise hotels, clubs, mansions and entrepreneur opportunities that would deforest much of the Timber Lake's natural forestation to make way for it's creation.The construction was completely abandoned in 1995 due to the violent retaliation, this horrific incident left over 33 people dead and has been a topic of serious discussion all over the world ever since.To this day, Fool's Cross has been left abandoned and untouched by the government and the deforestation efforts have been forgotten entirely, despite half the damage already being done. The framework for many of the buildings has deteriorated and become homes for squatters and the homeless. The remaining housing areas are usually forked off by the government to the lowest class citizens of Storm City.Fool's Cross has formed an ungovernable district that is exempt of law, the violent criminals that call Fool's Cross their home have been ignored by the Storm City law, and they have withdrawn all policing efforts from that locale, focusing them on Mid City instead. Fools Cross is considered a poverty district, with the highest rate of homeless citizens in Storm City and the highest rate of crime.

FOOL'S CROSS POINTS OF INTEREST

ABANDONED HIGH-RISE FRAMEWORK 0023

A large high-rise framework that was abandoned during the Fool's Cross incident has been covertly claimed as a home base for the notorious group of killers under FEAR's protection.Outside is fortified with fences and security cameras oeprated by FEAR's crew personally. Inside the framework lies many walled and secure rooms for each member to use as they please, and the once pristine concrete framework has been tagged with warnings to other criminals and innocents, leaving the group entirely remote.The Storm City law has yet to find the location of FEAR's group, and the few solo investigators never made it back to report their findings.

FOUNDERS' PLAZA

An abandoned mall - used frequently by the criminal king's as a party spot and to host large-scale "events" for like minded killers and high ranking criminals.

HEATCORE

An abandoned warehouse repurposed by the Muller, one of the criminal kings, as an illegal nightclub and dirty rave - used frequently by high and low ranking criminal gangs alike as a meeting place for business arrangements. Drugs, weapons and live cargo are traded here in VIP rooms, or right on the dance floor. Innocents also frequent the Heat Core for danger-laced thrills and good booze. Core raves are hosted nightly, and it is not uncommon for multiple deaths to occur a night.

THE UNDERPASS

At one point, the 70 was to be a main highway that would connect Horizon Valley and Mid City directly to the next city via bridge, But after the 1995 incident, construction was halted entirely, and it now lays an unfinished and extremely dangerous hazard in the corner of The Cross. Most steer clear of it entirely, afraid of it's instability, but FEAR saw an opportunity in the dark, untouched zone below it. The Underpass now stands as a highly secretive spot for the highest ranking criminal kings and their crews. A spot mostly for pleasure also doubles as a meetup for deals and covert business arrangements away from the eyes of innocents.

TIMBER LAKE

NORTH TIMBER LAKE

Timber lake is a large freshwater lake that surrounds over half of Storm City's border. It's forests are exceptionally large and mostly untouched by Storm City's growing city.Surrounded by mountains and forests, Timber Lake is a beautiful natural landscape in contrast to Storm City. Timber Lake is centered by a small town named Carden, the only rest-stop for miles outside of Storm City.Timber lake used to be a popular tourist attraction until the 1993 Camp Horizon Valley murders. After the incident, it became infamous for a streak of brutal and heinous murders, massacres, and homicide. The failed attempt to reopen the camps in 1998 set off a chain of events that led to all camps being closed off to the public.

TIMBER LAKE POINTS OF INTEREST

HORIZON VALLEY CREEK CAMP

A congratulated summer boarding camp located in Timber Lake's Silveroak territory. With a heavy focus on social activities, Horizon Valley Creek Camp hosts large scale games called Manhunt, a well known and eagerly anticipated event that has been hosted every Summer on June 14th. Half of the summer is spent on excursions and half-day adventures. Activities also include an extensive ropes course, baseball, woodworking, riflery, fishing, swimming, paddle boarding, windsurfing, sailing, tennis, soccer, and photography. Supervised by nominated senior student camp counselors, these programs help teach campers important life lessons and have a huge impact on their lives. University and college students from the ages of 17-26 may apply, and can choose to board only for the summer or for up to 4 years.Due to the tragic events of 1993, Horizon Valley Creek Camp has suspended all travel while investigations are still ongoing.

STATESLAND FARM

Free from timber lakes forest, Statesland Farm is a large acrege of farmland that cuts out a clearing in the natural woodland. A large, old farm once owned by the States family. Production ended soon after the family's tragic deaths, and the deed for the property was passed on to the oldest son.Entirely isolated, this farm has been the place of over 34 brutal murders since it was passed down to the new owner, and some say there are still living victims confined in the secured barn.

CARDEN

Timber Lake is crowned by a small town named Carden, a forgotten and desolate little community just off of the rural routes and mountain paths. Carden is a tiny isolated farming community of less than thirty structures in the most desolate part of West Timber Lake surrounded by miles of empty highway, forests and deserted farmland bordered by a small tributary to the Timber Lake river. There is one main road in and two side roads out, but the area is nearly inaccessible due to heavy forestation and the old road blocks set up after the Camp Masacre.Carden was a key spot for camps and would be the main supplier for them before they were shut down after the murders.

SOLITUDE POINT

Stationed in an old hospital near Carden, this haunted house is nothing like the average scream-haunt- no fake blood and automated jack-in-the-box skeletons for cheap scares that leave rowdy teenagers with messy hair and a good laugh, no, to enter Solitude Point, you had to sign a 35 page consent waiver that forces you to have a safeword. You cannot leave the experience without the staff's permission, and all guests are warned of physical injury, minor torture, and emotional distress while asking each guest for their greatest fear. There were no rules inside Solitude, and that's why Solitude is so famous.The house operates year-round, offering visitors a haunt that can last up to eight hours with multiple actor shifts. The setup takes up to 2 weeks for each group, and Solitude Point has a waitlist of over 9,000 people. There is no admission fee, but the owner encourages donating to various Storm City charities via a box outside.

OREND'S HEART

"THE HEART OF MAGIC"

OREND'S HEART, formerly known as just The Heart, is a magical community - home to much of the Underworld who are separated from the Unseeing in Asuu Rule, wether by force or choice. It exists between realities, held in transference between the past and the present using the Keepsake - a book that holds the souls of hundreds of Illusion Weavers. It is situated on the edge of the Abyss, an ocean infested by terrifying monsters and creatures of the Silence. The town itself is built around a Dragon Graveyard, structured around the bones of the great Elder Dragons. This greatly inhospitable city is not featured on any mortal maps, and though not quite as stunning as Asuu Rule, it is beautiful in it's own right - upheld by the large Sanctuary presence in the city.

OREND'S HEART POINTS OF INTEREST

THE WAILING WALL

Located on the edge of Orend's Heart, the Wailing Wall is a large set of docks dedicated to the culling of the terrors of the deep. Sea monster attacks are a constant threat around Orend's Heart, but the creatures brim with magical energy, many lucrative Underworld companies have found ways to harvest the energy from the massive creatures, using their magic to fuel the city and magical weapons used against the Silence.

OREND CITY

Orend City is built around the indestructible bones of Elder Dragons, fortifying the city beyond simple destruction and enhancing the magical flow of energy within the city itself.

THE SANCTUARY (OREND'S HEART)

Protected by some of the most powerful Grand Magus's in the Underworld, the Orend's Heart Sanctuary is a heavily fortified magical archive containing all of the secrets of The Underworld hidden behind millions of magical locks in dizzying mazes of shifting corridors and endless rooms.

SHATTERED SCHRADE

A palace hidden within realms, The Shattered Schrade is the point of command of the King of Kings and his envoy.

THE MIRE

The Mire is located outside of the city walls and beyond the Keepsakes reality-shifting reach. A deep, dark swamp containing a myriad of terrifying and dangerous magical creatures and energy spirits that walk the mangroves and tangled mudflats, dragging down any who step foot in the water. Far too perilous for even The Sanctuary to tame, it is left in peace.

ASUU RULE

THE DIVIDED CITY

A strong, lawful kingdom with a prestigious military history, Asuu Rule has always valued the ideals of justice, honor, and duty most highly. It is Terr'Gaeas center, where military, strength and power walk hand in hand with art, craftsmanship and trade. Asuu Rule is the largest city in Terr'Gaea, spanning over a quarter of the livable land, it is equal to multiple countries in size - it is home to both The Underworld and The Unseeing, they live in division from eachother - The Underworld disguising themselves as mortals and the Unseeing living completely oblivious to the magic that surrounds them.Asuu City is a place of safety and security. It is protected by the iron fist of the Asuu Guardsmen - a powerful force ruled by the De Asuu- an immensely powerful and wealthy royal family, and the large governing force below them. They are the main government in their own eyes - ruling Terr’Gaea without ever knowing the magical energy that thrums behind a veil.The De Asuu are a cruel protection force - but an efficent one. Many years ago, a renegade militia of Unseeing bandits attempted to take over some of Asuu Rule, As the backlash began, the Asuu Guard took harsher steps to retake control, declaring curfews and eventually martial law. Armed guard patrols were authorized to use lethal force against those who did not possess the proper credentials, many innocents dying due to the De Asuu's paranoia. Despite these harsh measures, the uprising only strengthened as more and more innocents moved to seek revenge on the ruling family. Today, the city is divided in more ways than just magic - it is divided into safe, neutral and unsafe sectors, those held by the De Asuu, those owned by the Uprising, and those that sit in between.

ASUU RULE POINTS OF INTEREST

BEAULOA

A small section of the neutral sector, Beauloa is a hub for markets and trade goods for the mid-class citizens of Asuu Rule. Long spanning streets are packed full of markets and stacked homes, color and vibrancy covers every inch of the bustling sector and is home to many denizens of Asuu Rule.

ASUU CENTER

A massive center where the De Asuu address all denizens of Asuu Rule, promising assistance and protection and gaining roars of adoration in turn.

THE GREAT BASTION

Donec dictum mi metus, ac dapibus enim finibus ut. Curabitur in dapibus arcu. Donec non ultricies metus, laoreet vulputate enim. Vestibulum at odio a libero vulputate pretium. Curabitur id lorem hendrerit, feugiat ipsum ac, laoreet ipsum. Suspendisse vel dolor nec quam tincidunt euismod.

EISQUE

Eisque is ruled by the Uprising, gangs of bandits and theives owning those who are too unfortunate to escape it.

THE MOORLANDS

THE GREAT DIVISION

The Moorlands are an uninhabitable wasteland of natural hazards and roaming apex predators, a bleak and barren waste of obsidian rocks and black sand deserts, energy shores, dense, lightdevouring forests and frozen lands spanning across Terr'Gaea's wilderness. Very few settlements of The Underworld exist in secret in the Moorlands, using the desolate lands as a place to hide from The Unseeing and fight the Silencespawn - these Children of Orend are often considered wild, rugged, and “uncivilized" compared to the magically inclined citizens that live within the walls of the Two Cities. These Children of Orend are expert hunters, surviving and living off the bountiful span of the Moorlands, but their freedom comes at a price - the apex creatures that roam the wastes pose extreme threats to those who live outside city walls.The Unseeing refuse to step out into the Moorlands, and for good reason - with massive, carnivorous creatures roaming the wastes, any mortal would become a meal in hours. The De Asuu have fortified the walls of Asuu Rule and built great beast-slaying weapons that are aimed at the chokeholds of the cities gates - also banning all denizens of Asuu Rule from straying further than the fortified barricades that line the outskirts of the Asuu wilderness.

THE MOORLANDS POINTS OF INTEREST

FOSSIL SHORES

Between where the Moorlands meet the sea lays the obsidian fossil shores - a beautifully morbid spectacle of natural energy and death. Without sand, the shores are made up of large obsidian death plates - large, flat rock formations made up of bones, teeth and fossilised shells imbedded in the dark Terr'Gaen rock that is split apart - cracked to allow the natural light to shine through, just like the light geysers that send beams of energy from the depths of the water.

THE SINK

The shifting tides of the obsidian desert have been known to carve paths through bare rock, tumbling over the cliff faces in massive sandfalls. These sandfalls have never been explored, because anyone who attempts it never comes back. It is said that any successful attempts to measure how deep the dark maw is have come up empty, it is entirely possible that it is bottomless.

THE LESION

When the Vustraa corrupted the stream of energy in Terr'Gaea, one such Vustraa was cast down by the Silent Ancients. His fall shattered and tore the land in two as he was banished to the heart of Terr'Gaea, turning it into a crimson desolation that rends the very earth itself in half, right down to it's core. From this core, the Silence grew like a cancer, growing out of the wound to corrupt the lands itself, forever spreading it's plague until there is nothing left.

VINSIR

Vinsir was once a secluded nation deep within the Moorlands, a region that thrived in the harsh outlands using their mastery of elemental magic, it was named Vinsir by it's native people and was an oasis in the barren obsidian desert. It remained free of outside influence for milennia - thriving off of the bountiful lands cultivated by the elemental mages that kept balance in Vinsir, but even magic as strong as Vinsir's could not ward off the Silence. When the Lesion was formed, most of the outer Moorlands were corrupted and became a spawning ground the Silence, this corruption did not spare Vinsir and it now lays desolate and forgotten - it's pure magic tainted and devoured by the Silence that left nothing but death in it's wake.

CURRENCY

All Terr’gaeans use money - coin being the main term used - but they mostly use bartering alongside coin due to how scarce coins are for the general populous.It is considered more of a luxury to have coins, mostly reserved for those of a higher pedigree - commonfolk instead mostly trading in goods and services.

FACTIONS

Terr’Gaea is split into two halves, one half hidden behind a veil are a large force of Magically Inclined folk, their existence a well maintained secret hidden from The Unseeing - the humans who are unaware of the underworld

v. GODS

( GODS AND DEMONS OF CURADEL #01: Gods. )

To understand the Gods of Curadel, we need to understand the Overgod - Vanas. Vanas is the Overgod of Creation and is said to have brought Curadel into creation.Vanas holds himself aloof from most events as an eternal observer and is the sole reason for the creatures of Curadel having access to holy magic. He is not entirely omniscient, but has endless knowledge about every being and creature on Curadel, alongside all things holy and demonic in nature spanning from the start of time itself. All of Vanas’ offspring have names starting with V.Gods, unlike Demon Gods, keep themselves away from mortal realms and never directly influence or manipulate mortal happenings.

i. OFFSPRING.

Vexan, the God of the Moon.

Vexan, the God of the Moon is a powerful God born directly of the Moon and Vanas himself. Vexan controls the moon, stars, navigation, navigators, wanderers, questers, seekers, navigation and navigators; tracking, wanderers, diviners and dreamers. Like the moon, Vexan shifts in power with the waxing and waning of it. Vexan is constantly, directly in eternal conflict with his twin sister, Vexis, the God of the Sun.

Vexis, the God of the Sun.

Sed ut perspiciatis unde omnis iste natus error sit voluptatem accusantium doloremque laudantium, totam rem aperiam, Vexis is constantly, directly in eternal conflict with her twin brother, Vexan, the God of the Moon.

v. DEMONS

( GODS AND DEMONS OF CURADEL #01: Demons.)

To understand the Demons of Curadel, we need to understand the Overdemon - Ades.Ades is the sensate Demon God of Destruction and is said to be the reason for all destruction.
Vanas is not entirely omniscient, but has endless knowledge about every being and creature on Curadel, alongside all things holy and demonic in nature spanning from the start of time itself.Demon Gods, unlike Gods feed from directly influencing mortals and anything non-demonic in nature.
All of Ades’ offspring have names starting with A, apart from one born of sin.

i. OFFSPRING.

Alltor, the Demon God of Heresy.

Alltor, the God of the Heresy is a powerful Demon God born directly of Ades need for heresy. Alltor’s motives stem directly from direct manipulation of Mortals and will take a new host whenever it pleases him.

Aizaz, the Demon God of War.

Aizaz, the Demon God of War is a powerful martial Demon God born of Ades' lust for violence. Aizaz sways mortals into War and feeds from the energy it creates.

“The Three”.

The Three, (Accuser, Tempter & Deciever) are not a true offspring by official terms, and were instead born directly from Ades’ flesh. A conduit trio of hosts made in a much more palatable image than Ades' true form sent to Curadel for Ades' to bend the world through.The Three are of one mind - one soul controlling all three bodies. They cannot stray extreme distances from one another due to the tether that binds them, but they do not always need to be apart; they can fuse together into one body, usually taking the physical form of Tempter, and will suffer all of Ades' burdans. They will become sensate together, but will gain more physical fortitude. Apart, they are a more frightening force and split their burdans into 3, blind, deaf & mute, but will be weaker to physical damage.The Three are prideful and violent, just like their maker - tempting the innocent faithful into sin and corruption. A proxy of flesh to coax the stronger willed to their knees.

z. SYMBOLS OF POWER

A detailed diagram showing the Symbols of Power used among the Bloodcursed, their uses and meanings.

When any of these symbols of power are combined, they can create unique power sets for the wielder, each one differing
from creature to creature, and each symbol and set will alter depending on the intention of the bearer - often ending with
a set of powers based on something deep within the very soul of the creature that adorns it.They are permanently carved onto the soul, through the flesh using a special ritual that is considered immoral, taboo
and extremely dangerous. In the past, these tattoo's were a sign of status, but the uprising panic around the idea of
these tattoo's has only worsened in modern times.

INFORMATION

Basic information about the Neosi.

THE SPECIES

GENERAL INFORMATION

The Neosi; visually, are akin to Succubi. With horns atop of their heads, Small wings that come in many varieties, Dark Scleras, Bright, often glowing irises, Fangs and an unnatural alluring beauty, But each one is created unique with hidden talents unlike any succubus. All Neosi are spliced with select creature traits and adaptations, which are then altered for use, giving each Neosi a unique set of abilities not found in any other species.In General, all Neosi have the ability to cause their pheromones to go into a sort of overdrive, causing a hyperactive sex drive response to those within their vicinity, almost causing a mindless or crazed need to mate. This can be considered one of the biggest strengths of the species.They have almost a muted version of a hivemind, communicating silently, without sharing individual experiences. Just one look and another Neosi will know what is left unsaid.Most (but not all) Neosi work in courtesan, medical or psychological field, each one excelling in their field of work.

LORE

THE LORE AND STORY OF THE NEOSI

The Neosi were created by a twisted demon doctor, Drath. His experiment to make the perfect being began with the first Neosi; Jun'ichi.The desperate then Emperor of Enai heard tales of the twisted Doctors' experiments, and seeking the power to overthrow his enemies, allowed Drath to use him as the first subject.Drath and Jun'ichi worked together for 5 years, forming a close bond and "perfecting" the first iteration of the Ne0-C Strain, or the Neosi strain.When the Ne0-c Strain was injected into Jun'ichi, it had an unprecedented effect on his body, instead of fusing his body with enhanced strength and ability, it seemed to almost "create" a new body. It started by spreading over Jun'ichi's skin, changing his hair and eye colors before it began to break down parts of Jun'ichi's physical makeup to make way for his new, stronger body. The Doctor was quick to act and halted the process before the experiment could spiral out of control. This failure enraged Drath, and he took it out on Jun'ichi, who in turn, lashed out with equal force. The power he was promised was stripped away from him before it could take place, and he refused to listen to reason, willing to chance death for the strength to surpass his lower prestige. This tore the couple apart, and they went their separate ways shortly after, Drath working on perfecting his design, and Jun'ichi taking what strength he managed to obtain from the halted transformation to conquer his enemies.Drath, with his newfound knowledge, scrapped centuries of labor and began to work on the Ne0-c Strain from a brand new angle - attempting to create a Neosi from scratch, rather than using a host. He used his own cells to fuse with the strain, and after 10 years, he finally succeeded.This is when the Doctor created the first, true Neosi; Dashiell. He constructed him to be beautiful, elegant, and alluring, A perfect tool for his plans, and the start of a long reign of power.

INFORMATION

Basic information about the Haloscant.

THE SPECIES

GENERAL INFORMATION

The Haloscant are a serpent drake taur-like species hailing from the planet Valitor.Like most of the species on Valitor, the Haloscant have evolved over generations to adapt to the conditions of Valitor.They have adapted physically to possess an elven upper body and the lower body of a serpant drake.The Haloscant are a hematophagous predator species that once preyed on the other species of Valitor, but most have since adapted to more humane methods.This species, unlike other Tor inhabitants, can fly. They are able to soar through the clouds for short periods of time thanks to the Skyknot in their chests and do not possess or require wings to do so. Sadly, certain injuries of the tail and chest render flight impossible and is seen as quite taboo among the species.

APPEARANCE

HALOSCANT APPEARANCES

NAMES

NAMING CONVENTIONS OF THE HALOSCANT

Traditional Haloscant names are an Important part of their society. The naming conventions spanning back to the birth of the species generations ago.Traditional Haloscant names are a single word that consists of two important parts:The first part being the Haloscant's given name, this given name is unique to each Haloscant.The second part being their family name.These names can tell a lot of information about the individual Haloscant to another of their kin, and can change often depending on circumstance.Using my own Haloscant OCs as an example below:Kerosine:"Kero" is my characters given name.
"Sine" Is their family name.Virusine:"Viru" is my characters given name.
"Sine" Is their family name.These two characters are brothers and so they follow the same family name convention.If a Haloscant character is currently involved with their family, they wilI use their full name (Kerosine or Virusine), but if for any reason they were split from their family, wether they have distanced themselves from their family, they are the last remaining member of their family or if they were exiled from their family, they would no longer use their family name, simply referring to themselves as Kero or Viru.This is called a "wayward name".A character without a family name is quite taboo within Haloscant society, and these kin are usually treated as exiles or a bad seed, even if they are anything but. Family is extremely important in Haloscant culture, and even if a Haloscant's family line was tragically ended, they would still be treated as a black sheep - adding Insult to injury to the Haloscant.The naming tradition of removing the family name also extends to a Haloscant that is traveling far from their family, but is still involved with them. In this case, the Haloscant would use all of their given name and the first letter of their family name, an example using my own OCs would be Keros or Virus.Some more examples of names and wayward names:Tilliariatt. Tilliar would be their wayward name.Kayzessa - Kayz would be their wayward name.Naesaren. Naes would be their wayward name.Rennantien - Rennan would be their wayward name.

SKYKNOT

THE HALOSCANT'S SKYKNOT

The Haloscant adorn Skyplates to protect the Skyknot that lays in their chests. This Knot, if damaged, can render the Haloscant weak and unable to fly, this is seriously taboo within the species, and is a fate no kin would like to suffer.Because of this, almost all Haloscant wear Skyplates that are used as lightweight armor to protect their Skyknot.This armor can be any shape and durable material. They are situated just below their lower body's ribcage and tend to be beautifull carved, each kin having a unique Skyplate.The less a Haloscant is seen in battle, the less protective their Skyplates are; Many opting to forsake protection for aesthetic and use beautiful chains adorned with jewels to show their wealth, or simple silk to show their status and the safety of their kingdom.

THE SPECIES

GENERAL INFORMATION

The Ophenskin are a symbiotic species of Ophen Warriors imprisoned within an armored bodysuit. They bind their entirety to this suit of armor, creating a seemingly harmless full-body zero suit. When someone adorns this suit, they are instantly corrupted by the Ophen within and are forever bound with them. The Host can never remove this suit once they put it on, but it can morph and change to better fit the style and aesthetic of both the host and the current period of time so that they may blend in - allowing the suit to look like absolutely anything you wish (as long as it includes the species main traits), but it can only morph once!When the Ophen Mantle binds to a host, they share their thoughts and entities, the host gaining some of the power from the Ophen, and the Ophen siphoning harmless amounts of energy from the host. They are bound in a symbiotic relationship where both entities have their own minds, agenda’s and actions!An Ophenskin Host will become immortal and gain a set of Ophen powers depending on the Ophen within their body!Once the Ophen siphons enough power, they can detach from the host, becoming their own separate entity. This process leaves the two bodies entirely separate and is the only time that an Ophenskin Host has their mantle removed. While separated, the two forms still share their minds, but cannot be more than 50 meters from one another without losing consciousness. During this unconscious state, the Ophen will be forcibly absorbed back onto the Host’s body which is painful for both parties.The Ophenskin Mantle can bind to any character in any universe! From humans, elves, demons, dragons, anthro’s, nekos, ferals, any other Original / Custom species, and anything in-between. This species is a fully cross-breed species and can be combined with any pre-existing character, or added onto a brand new one.

Here are the ones available:INHERENT:Ophen Blood - the ability to control the dark, powerful substance that runs through the core of an Ophen. This substance can morph into functional weapons, or be used as a source of powerful casting magic. An Ophenskin Host can only control their own Ophen Blood, not the blood of another.NON-INHERENT:Corrupted Fire - the ability to create and control fire.The fire an Ophenskin Host can bend is corrupted by Ophen corruption. leaving it a lich-like greeny color. leaving it a lich-like ██ greeny color.

Corrupted fire burns out quickly.Corrupted Water - the ability to create and control water.The water an Ophenskin Host can bend is corrupted by Ophen corruption. leaving it a lich-like ██ greeny color. leaving it a lich-like greeny color with glowing spectral tendrils. Corrupted water has a severe acidic effect that melts on contact and kills most plants instantly. Corrupted water dissipates quickly.Corrupted Lightning - the ability to create and control lightning.The lightning an Ophenskin Host can bend is corrupted by Ophen corruption. leaving it a lich-like ██ greeny color. Corrupted lightning has a severe spreading effect that can melt on contact. Corrupted lightning disappears quickly after it’s apex and needs to be channeled to make it constant.Corrupted Nature - the ability to corrupt, create and control plants.The plants an Ophenskin Host can create or control are corrupted by Ophen corruption. leaving them pulsating with lich-like ██ greeny tendrils and toothy mouths when controlled. Corrupted Nature has diverse effect based on the type of plant and power given. An Ophenskin Host can create large carnivorous plants that can eat a person, smaller weapon-like plants that will attack anything near, or create armor from corrupted vines. These effects need to be channeled or they will die.More to be added at a later date!

INFORMATION

Basic information about the Bionics.

THE SPECIES

GENERAL INFORMATION

The Bionics are the oldest species in all of Gaia, so old that no organic nor Bionic truly knows how long they have existed, being a race made of otherworldly material, stronger than anything in the universe of any lifetime, they are invincible to all physical damage, though with exceptions of weapons made specifically to destroy Bionic plating.Bionics have the most advanced technology in the universe, beyond any comprehension to other species. The Diadem and the Ones are stronger than all organics on Gaia put together.

SPECIALIZATIONS

BIONIC SPECIALIZATIONS

ASSASSIN:

Assassins, like R.E.D are made to expertly take down the Ophen, often taking out their supportive forces. They typically combine combat ability with strong stealth skills, and specialise in defeating an enemy without becoming involved in a messy scuffle.Assassins often wield daggers or easily concealed weapons and have the ability to stealth.They are extremely nimble and can jump/run higher and faster than any other specialization.

MENDER:

Menders are supportive and heal both the wounds of Bionics and organics alike. They have the unique ability to fly. In addition to healing, menders are sometimes assist with buffs to empower allies.They often wield staves, or use the Life-ports located in places on their bodies unique to each Bionic.

ASSASSIN:

Protectors excel at distracting enemy attention and attacks toward themselves in order to provide protection or decoy for teammates. Since these Bionics often require them to endure concentrated enemy attacks and often suffer large amounts of damage, they rely on a high strength and chassis armor and healing support by friendly menders. Some have self-regeneration and large, heavy weapons whereas others posses energetic barrier to protect large groups of forces.Their shields are made especially to repell organic and Ophen attacks and are not specialised for their own kind.Protectors wield large weapons and energetic shields and are often 10x larger than an average Bionic with the ability to shrink at will.

EFFICACY:

Efficacy's excel in roles that differ from the normal and expected combat specialties and can have any number of abilities and act as wildcards in battle, providing anything from new kinds of support, assassination or protection - enemy counter intelligence, vessel-thieves, brainwashing and other general efficiencies.Other than Assassins, Efficacies are the only other class that are potent against their own, as well as the enemy.
