#rp setting

Noctath: Capitol of a thousand nations.

Emerging from thick mists on a barren sea are the tips of impossibly high skyscrapers. Before too long one will see airships lazily drifting high above the waves, moving fluidly to dock at the sky ports which only seem to exist at the tops of the highest buildings. The architecture combines a hundred styles from every culture on the planet, even those long since dead. Beautiful structures of stone and iron fill the metropolis with a sense of storied history.

The street level of the city lacks much of the majesty the skyline shows off from far away. Densely packed city streets are filled with the bustle of working-class citizens. The city is home to an active industry of textiles and artisan crafts. The lower classes seem to have every race present, each more bedraggled than the last. Horse-drawn carriages hurry down cobbled streets as merchants sell unidentifiable meats from roadside stalls.

Ascending above the streets isn't as simple as ascending a stairway or using one of the fancy hydraulic elevation platforms. The caste system here is ironclad. Getting to the higher levels of the city requires one to have proper paperwork and purpose. The upper classes are not fans of interlopers. Once one makes it to the causeways and rooftop gardens of the higher districts, one finds oneself free of the constant smog of the lower city. The packed masses far below can be heard as a gentle din from balconies where well-dressed socialites play their complex interpersonal games and deal in the lives of those they see as beneath them. It is rumored that dark warlocks perform magical rituals on commoners to make them into polymorphed slaves.

~~Noctath is a dark Victorian steam punk setting. It is big on themes of social inequality, corruption, and political intrigue.~~

✨OMG I'm such a ditz! 😵‍💫 I've been working on trying to prepare content to introduce the world of Generation Nova, that I totally spaced on posting the poll!

While preferably I'd have out a bit more of an introduction to Generation Nova and Solara Bay, life gets super busy! So, I will go ahead and just post the poll and see who wants to help us create our setting and Build Our School!☀️

You'll be helping decide choices, like who their principal is, what's the biggest rumor, and the school mascot!

-- I've decided to go through my writing and really zone in. I've already gone through a couple of chapters of old fanfics I've done years ago and edited them. And this is a high fantasy setting that I'm continuing to work on and make progress. I wish stress and depression wouldn't short me out.

Take care of yourself, ya'll!

Enjoy the blurb! -- Rosy

Vannamund

The continent of Vannamund is a richly diverse region filled with a vast red oak forest, cerulean seacoasts, and a treacherous mountain range with a dormant volcano. Its flora and fauna over the centuries have grown wilder. For example, in the forest lies a darker, more enriched area of resources, but the carnivores there have grown to larger sizes while the flora itself seems to be alive and highly aggressive. This part of the continent's region earned itself the name The Somber Oak due to the many lives it claimed over its existence. Generations of stories passed down regards the forest's magic running untamed and driving out even the fiercest of nature's guardians, the elves. At the state of it now, The Somber Oak changes, thrive, and feeds through blood-soaked roots of the dead. An ever-changing labyrinth that only the fae has survived - being both protector and keeper.

It is thanks to the fae that these crimson oaks do not run free to spread and spawn their carnivorous ways onto the mainland and devour both life and magic as they see fit.

The sea bordering the entirety of the continent has become so vivid in color that it appears to be glowing under clear moonlight. The world's magic saturating and enhancing the sea life, and its waters, within the depths led to its name, The Vibrant Sea. The sea is a vital resource for magic, economy, and survival.

In the early days of man, humankind had nomadic tendencies across the open seas as they used ships and sea coves as ways of making homes before the Viridian Age had forced them to dock into permanent settlements on land. This event had caused the great divide between the human clans with an agreement for each one settling in a section of the continent; whether it'd be for mountain, coast, grassland, or the savage forest itself - it does not matter.

Up top and secured by a mountain range of rock, clay, and the ever-useful gardestone lies the dormant volcano, St. Algarath. The heated pools of spring water lay at its roots with vegetated growth makes more a popular tourist attraction while also maintaining the locale of one of the four human settlements, Brimfyre. The once-seafolk settled here and made their growth through a masterwork of iron, gold, silver, and a fine enchanted steelwork using gardestone. This natural resource allowed the town to remain safe from the volcano's aggressive times and cools them from its searing summers by providing the proper magical catalyst.

While the Tripura club catered to the truly superhuman set, it wasn’t the ONLY club that the Mage owned. After all, a club that catered only to the supernatural will have a hard time gathering clientele. You need a more public face if you want to meet more people, there’s not a soul alive that can deny that.

And so, there was a second club (third, fourth? No knowing how many versions of this place exist...) that worked as a more public face, and as a place where people first got a taste of Tripura.

‘The Gates of Tripura’ or just simply ‘Gates’ isn’t exactly an exclusive nightclub, precisely. Granted, there are bouncers who can, and will, toss out drunken patrons and exclude the truly undesirable. But it’s not secluded, there are no secret passwords, no hidden entrances. It’s just a nightclub!

Granted, it’s one that caters to the Mage’s tastes, so in addition to a rather gothic industrial tone to the music, (and the décor) there are go-go dancers in cages above the bar. They get paid rather well to be entertaining to those just getting a drink.

A spacious stage, an overly ample dance floor, booths and tables along the walls, and a VIP section that is truly exclusive, where one doesn’t just sit at some table behind a velvet rope! Oh no, behind a guarded door and up a set of stairs are the exclusive skyboxes where one can look down upon the dancers, enjoy the music at more sedate volumes, and have your drinks delivered to you.
