Fable https://telrunyaonline.net/wiki/index.php?title=Lucandria&diff=184 2024-07-23T02:31:30Z

<p>Fable: </p> <hr /> <div>==Lucandria, Land of the Forgotten Miakis==<br /> <br /> In ancient times, during the [[Great War]], [[Templa]], the Queen of the [[Miakis]], self-destructed and imploded in an attempt to save the last of her people.<br /> <br /> ===Who are the Miakis===<br /> <br /> Among the first [[pae]] to live in the land of [[Telrunya]], Miakis were the third and most magically powerful. They held domain over the aether, sometimes called void, because they mastered spatial manipulation. <br /> <br /> They were led by the powerful [[Queen Templa]] and lived in a structure they called, [[The Hive]]. It was their temple and their home. On the outside, it was a beautiful white, ten-foot spiral. On the inside, it was a vast and lively community of Miakis and other elementals.<br /> <br /> Miakis had big, beautiful wings in many colors and shapes, which was their kind's hallmark. They were most aligned with magic and things not of this world.<br /> <br /> The descendants of the original survivors call themselves [[Mika]], to set themselves apart from the original elders that sacrificed their lives for the sake of their survival. The name Miakis evokes a sense of pride, sorrow and reverence. The name is sacred.<br /> <br /> ===The Great Implosion===<br /> <br /> The miakis had only just completed the ritual to hide the [[Book of Transcendence]] when the powerful blood pae army descended. In a last-ditch effort to save her beloved people from extinction, the miakis queen went to the nursery and sent all of the seeds and young, as well as her Second, Astralis Lucandria the aethermancer, to another plane to preserve their kind. The [[Blood Pae Army]] was eradicating all elementals, and they had already killed nearly all the naiad and faun so far.<br /> <br /> When the blood pae army reached her location, Templa built up as much aether energy as she could and imploded, sending Lucandria, the young miakis and whoever stood in the blast range to another realm. She hoped the [[Sila]] and [[Dracian]] would have more time to prepare as the blood pae army regrouped from the tragic loss of soldiers.<br /> <br /> ===On the Other Side===<br /> <br /> The other realm, sometimes called the astral plane, is called Aynurlet. There are three islands in Aynurlet. The island the lost miakis settled on is named Lucandria, after the miakis that saved them all.<br /> <br /> ===Modern Day Miakis===<br /> <br /> The ancient miakis exist no more. They have been living on an island in Aynurlet for 5 ages (5,000 years). They have evolved and changed over the centuries so they no longer resemble the miakis of old, but now look like Telrunya's [[fae]] pae. They call themselves the [[Mika]].<br /> <br /> ; Why fae pae?<br /> : After the generals of the Blood Pae army successfully eradicated all of the elementals, they ascended to become the [[Guardians]] of [[Angels]] and [[Demons]]. For centuries they watched over their own and provided for them. After so many ages, the guardians grew angry with their children and created the fae to act as mediators between the warring angels and demons.<br /> <br /> ; Guardians ''Created'' fae?<br /> : They found a way to bind a pae body to an idea that exists on the astral plane, to give it a soul. So while they claimed that was the only way it would keep them in Telrunya, the truth of the matter is that they stole baby miakis from Lucandria, and claimed to have made them as fae. <br /> <br /> ; Fae are miakis!<br /> : This means there will be no more new fae on Telrunya, except next-gen. They will all be mika!<br /> <br /> =='''Lucandria Setting Rules'''==<br /> <br /> The island is run by the five Dukes &amp; Duchesses They each have full say over their Duchy, but must meet with the others concerning the island as a whole. Mika leaders are the top of the leadership hierarchy, with Queens as social top hierarchy. A Queen elevates the whole family and they themselves are welcome to live in the inner city after the queens term. <br /> <br /> Mika with high magic affinity have the chance at Queendom with those having lower affinity don't have a chance at queendom. Any Pae not a Mika are the lowest in the social structure. Most of these make up the working class. <br /> <br /> '''[[Aquilaris]]''' is ruled over by [[Duchess Nomia]]. This land is in charge of all of the water and marine life on the island and it's their responsibility that all citizens have clean drinking water, and all laws related to the rivers and canals are followed and not abused. Refrigeration and other coolant mana stones are charged here.<br /> <br /> '''[[Terra]]''' is ruled over by [[Duke Daeron]]. This is the agricultural center of the island where most food is cultivated. They have the responsibility to ensure all citizens have nutritious food, as well as making sure that all natural resources are responsibly harvested and replenished when possible. They also provide medicinal herbs as well as charging mana stones with force magic.<br /> <br /> '''[[Breezehaven]]''' is ruled over by [[Duchess Kethara]]. This land is tasked with controlling the airways, weather and ensuring breathable air is available for all. They also provide electricity to the cities via wind turbines. Electricity mana stones are charged here.<br /> <br /> '''[[Bulnoriya]]''' is ruled over by [[Duke Locian]]. This land is the source of minerals, gems mana stones and ore. The citizens work in mines. The mountains are located here, and the duchy is responsible for safety, and maintaining the caves. They mine the mana stones, they also charge all the mana stones for heat. The prison is located here.<br /> <br /> '''[[Apión]]''' is ruled by [[Duchess Nienna]]. This land is the land of magic and knowledge. They are mystical and sometimes dark because they deal in all manner of magic, including dark magic. This land is responsible for the fair use of magic, and to ensure it is not abused. They also refine the mana stones, and charge the magic ones.<br /> <br /> In the center of the island is a big castle where the queen lives. The queen is responsible for charging the crystal during her five year rule. Queens are selected every five years, from a different duchy each term.<br /> <br /> '''[[The Wilds]]'' The area surrounding the outside of the island. This is where the [[wildkin]] live. [[Wildkin]] include [[harpies]], [[naga]], [[selkie]], [[merfolk]], [[sphinx]], [[lycans]]<br /> <br /> <br /> ==='''Creation Lore'''===<br /> <br /> This new land was not connected to Telrunya anymore, so the magic had been cut off. In order to ensure the survival of her [[paeple]], the miakis leader started charging a crystal with her life force and magic. This crystal is located in the castle in the middle of the island. <br /> <br /> After a while, she found that she was ''aging''. Pae haven't been known to age. But by using her life force to power up the crystal, she'd used up nearly her whole life. Along with the five original dukes and duchesses, they devised a plan, and a way to keep the crystal charged. <br /> <br /> A mika is chosen from one duchy to become the queen. The queen will charge the crystal for five years, just long enough that it won't take her whole life force. The queen will live in the palace in the middle of the island, living a life of luxury. Upon retirement, the queen will become a noble and be set for life. Their whole family will be included and they can move to the capital of their duchy and receive a lifetime payment. Queens are revered and respected for having served the paeple and land.<br /> <br /> The queen can be any gender. After ten years, any former queen can become queen again. It takes ten years to recover.<br /> <br /> <br /> ==='''Tech &amp; Innovation'''===<br /> <br /> *Windmills &amp; Water Wheels provide unlimited electricity. So the inner city nobles have lights, running water, and refrigeration.<br /> *Outer city uses basic metered electricity and water. Refrigeration is expensive so not all homes have it.<br /> *The Wilds still live off of wells, candles, basic dark age stuff.<br /> *Electric tracks to move goods around the duchies and from the mines to manufacturers.<br /> *The mines have mana stones that are extremely valuable resources.<br /> <br /> <br /> ==='''Economy &amp; Trade'''===<br /> <br /> *Bulnoriya: Lumber, metal, smelting, mana stone mining, mana stone charging for heat<br /> *Terra: Lumber, fruits, vegetables, grains, herbs, animals, mana stone charging for gravity/force magic<br /> *Aquilaris: Water, fish, pearls, mana stone charging for cold<br /> *Breezehaven: Electricity, sky fruit, sky herbs, airships, mana stone charging for electricity<br /> *Apión: Educators, mana stone refinement &amp; selling, knowledge<br /> <br /> ==='''Lucandria Conflicts &amp; Politics'''===<br /> <br /> The duchies are on good terms though tension has happen due to differences in ideals.<br /> We are open to two Duchies having petty tension over border disputes, resources, electricity or water rights, and feelings on non-mika. But war is not in the future for Lucandria.<br /> <br /> <br /> ==='''Fauna &amp; Flora'''===<br /> <br /> *Aquatic animals<br /> *Deer, rabbit, squirrel, other small animals to hunt or farm<br /> *Deer are the prime source of meat. They are kept, bred, and butchered like cows<br /> *Nutrient rich farmland growing basic vegetables and fruits <br /> *Natural fruit bushes, sky fruit trees, nut trees<br /> <br /> <br /> ==='''Religion'''===<br /> *They believe in all the elements with Apión as the most prominent.<br /> *Most priests and religious stuff come out of Apión duchy because of this.<br /> *Even though Apión is the most prominent, each tribe knows its importance in keeping the elemental balance so none feel lesser than the next.<br /> *Though some Pae can totally go hard for their element.<br /> <br /> <br /> ==='''Environmental Factors'''===<br /> *Astralis created a dome like structure around the island in order to make it as much like Telrunya as possible<br /> *It has a light source as well as evaporation/humidity that can create clouds and rain.<br /> *Not much else weather like happens. No snow, natural disasters, or anything of the like. Just rain and sunshine for this bunch.<br /> <br /> ==='''Art, Literature, &amp; Entertainment'''===<br /> <br /> Since this group was pulled in from Telrunya they had to start from scratch. Many wrote books and things on what they could remember. Most of this is kept in a special library in Apión duchy.<br /> Apión has the most vast library on different subjects where a lot of the tribes keep more records of things that pertain to them. For example, Breezehaven would have windmill documentation to building and maintaining, Aquilaris for healthy water distribution, etc.<br /> So more of the tribes have practical literature other than the educational kind for their schools<br /> <br /> *Noble entertainment: Stage dramas, art galleries, sports, social events (tea parties, balls, etc.)<br /> *Commoner entertainment: sports, social events, [[wildkin fighting]]<br /> <br /> <br /> ==='''Transportation &amp; Infrastructure'''===<br /> <br /> *Most personal travel is conducted by portals<br /> *Goods are transported via transport carts on electric rails<br /> *Middle of the city is the Queen tower. Queen and staff live here.<br /> *Surrounding the Queen tower is the inner city where the nobles and their families live- only those who are retired Queens who have chosen to move. This space is lavish and rich in decor. *Electricity and high tech is available for all nobles. Others have to pay for it.<br /> *Outside of this is the rest of the city where all Fae live called the Outer City. The closer to the inner city the richer and more lavish the space is- some having electricity and tech while the further out lives less modern with no electricity, running water or access to mana stones.<br /> *There is no tech in The Wilds<br /> <br /> <br /> Astralis Lucandria is the name of the aethermancer that went to Aynurlet. The island was named after her.<br /> <br /> ==='''Role-play Notes'''===<br /> <br /> *Each duchy runs like an independent country. <br /> *Players can pick which duchy they want their fae to live in, and they will receive the wings of that duchy.<br /> *Only fae, mika, and wildkin are allowed to live on Lucandria. If an angel or demon goes there, they can be caught and sent to prison, where they will be processed and sent to the island where Raks and Fallen live.<br /> *Wildkin, which includes [[Harpies]], [[Naga]], [[Lycans]], [[Selkie]], [[Merfolk]] and [[Sphynx]], can travel back and forth, but in Lucandria, they have to stay in the Wilds to avoid capture and forced labor.<br /> *Not all wildkin are subjugated. In Aquarilis for example, Merfolk are respected performers in some locations.<br /> *Residents of Aynurlet don't know they live in a &quot;fake&quot; world, so do not break the fourth wall and have your mika, rak, fallen, or [[celestial]] know that their world is fake.<br /> *Trade routes are allowed if Duke Locien approves the use of the portal to be used as such.</div>

General Information==<br /> <br /> ;Name of the Duchy: Duchy of Breezehaven<br /> ;Ruler’s Name and Title: [[Duchess Kethara]]<br /> ;Motto: “Light as Air, Free as the Wind”<br /> ;Coat of Arms: A Gryphon against a backdrop of clouds and sky<br /> ;Flag: Light blue with a white, stylized wing in the center<br /> <br /> ==2. Geography==<br /> ===Location===<br /> Western section of [[Lucandria]]<br /> <br /> ===City Names=== <br /> :• '''Aerion Heights:''' This is the land nearest the Queen’s castle where Breezehaven’s royalty live. Duchess Kethara’s own home rests on a floating piece of land above in the shape of a spire- hence the name. They live plush lives with the electrical advancements they have created- lights, refrigeration, running water, etc. Anything you could possibly need can be found here: schools, hospitals, parks, restaurants, cafes, and even an inventors guild.<br /> <br /> :• '''Gale’s Rest:''' Unless born into nobility or rising through the ranks through marriage or the Queen lottery, most of Breezehaven’s Mikas live here. Those of higher magic affinity live closer to the water nearer to the Royalty with those of lower affinity back towards The Wilds. A road and their own electrical advancements keep them separated from the Wildkin. They don’t have nearly as much as Aerion Heights, but they do have refrigerators, lights for the evenings, and running water.<br /> <br /> ===Town Names===<br /> :• '''Tempest Hollow:''' This village houses those Fae who work at The Landing that are not of the royal clan. They have some of the similar electrical advancements of Gale’s Rest, but just located closer to work for convenience. Again, only those who work at The Landing live here unless providing something necessary to the town.<br /> <br /> :• '''Windfall Village:''' This village houses those Mika who work with the windmills. Due to the constant amount of wind in this area, the town has been surrounded in a special ‘calm’ bubble the keeps only a gentle breeze blowing through the Village. Again, only those who work with the windmills live here unless providing something necessary to the town.<br /> <br /> ;The Wilds: This area of untamed space is where most Wildkin are found. Without magic abilities they were forced to the outskirts and handle a lot of the manual labor for the Breezehaven Duchy. Though they aren’t enslaved, the Mikas are incredibly prejudiced against them.<br /> <br /> ===Major Land Features===<br /> :• '''Sky Gardens:''' Floating gardens suspended by air magic. Some focus on flowers while others grow cloud fruit &amp; sky herbs.<br /> :• '''The Landing:''' Airship production shop &amp; major landing port for the Breezehaven Duchy<br /> :• '''Windward Market:''' An aerial market where most of the trading happens.

The Windy Plains see a decent amount of continuous airflow making it not the best place to live, but incredible for their windmills!<br /> :'''Seasons:''' Subtle seasonal changes with a consistent light breeze year-round. Thanks to the breeze, they never have to worry about a bad day out. Just watch out for the rainy season, some times the wind gets so powerful you can see the drops running sideways.<br /> <br /> ==3.

Fable https://telrunyaonline.net/wiki/index.php?title=Lucandria&diff=168 2024-07-22T22:45:17Z

<p>Fable: </p> <hr /> <div>==Lucandria, Land of the Forgotten Miakis==<br /> <br /> In ancient times, during the [[Great War]], [[Templa]], the Queen of the [[Miakis]], self-destructed and imploded in an attempt to save the last of her people.<br /> <br /> ===Who are the Miakis===<br /> <br /> Among the first [[pae]] to live in the land of [[Telrunya]], Miakis were the third and most magically powerful. They held domain over the aether, sometimes called void, because they mastered spatial manipulation. <br /> <br /> They were led by the powerful [[Queen Templa]] and lived in a structure they called, [[The Hive]]. It was their temple and their home. On the outside, it was a beautiful white, ten-foot spiral. On the inside, it was a vast and lively community of Miakis and other elementals.<br /> <br /> Miakis had big, beautiful wings in many colors and shapes, which was their kind's hallmark. They were most aligned with magic and things not of this world.<br /> <br /> The descendants of the original survivors call themselves [[Mika]], to set themselves apart from the original elders that sacrificed their lives for the sake of their survival. The name Miakis evokes a sense of pride, sorrow and reverence. The name is sacred.<br /> <br /> ===The Great Implosion===<br /> <br /> The miakis had only just completed the ritual to hide the [[Book of Transcendence]] when the powerful blood pae army descended. In a last-ditch effort to save her beloved people from extinction, the miakis queen went to the nursery and sent all of the seeds and young, as well as her Second, Astralis Lucandria the aethermancer, to another plane to preserve their kind. The [[Blood Pae Army]] was eradicating all elementals, and they had already killed nearly all the naiad and faun so far.<br /> <br /> When the blood pae army reached her location, Templa built up as much aether energy as she could and imploded, sending Lucandria, the young miakis and whoever stood in the blast range to another realm. She hoped the [[Sila]] and [[Dracian]] would have more time to prepare as the blood pae army regrouped from the tragic loss of soldiers.<br /> <br /> ===On the Other Side===<br /> <br /> The other realm, sometimes called the astral plane, is called Aynurlet. There are three islands in Aynurlet. The island the lost miakis settled on is named Lucandria, after the miakis that saved them all.<br /> <br /> ===Modern Day Miakis===<br /> <br /> The ancient miakis exist no more. They have been living on an island in Aynurlet for 5 ages (5,000 years). They have evolved and changed over the centuries so they no longer resemble the miakis of old, but now look like Telrunya's [[fae]] pae. They call themselves the [[Mika]].<br /> <br /> ; Why fae pae?<br /> : After the generals of the Blood Pae army successfully eradicated all of the elementals, they ascended to become the [[Guardians]] of [[Angels]] and [[Demons]]. For centuries they watched over their own and provided for them. After so many ages, the guardians grew angry with their children and created the fae to act as mediators between the warring angels and demons.<br /> <br /> ; Guardians ''Created'' fae?<br /> : They found a way to bind a pae body to an idea that exists on the astral plane, to give it a soul. So while they claimed that was the only way it would keep them in Telrunya, the truth of the matter is that they stole baby miakis from Lucandria, and claimed to have made them as fae. <br /> <br /> ; Fae are miakis!<br /> : This means there will be no more new fae on Telrunya, except next-gen. They will all be mika!<br /> <br /> =='''Lucandria Setting Rules'''==<br /> <br /> The island is run by the five Dukes &amp; Duchesses They each have full say over their Duchy, but must meet with the others concerning the island as a whole. Mika leaders are the top of the leadership hierarchy, with Queens as social top hierarchy. A Queen elevates the whole family and they themselves are welcome to live in the inner city after the queens term. <br /> <br /> Mika with high magic affinity have the chance at Queendom with those having lower affinity don't have a chance at queendom. Any Pae not a Mika are the lowest in the social structure. Most of these make up the working class. <br /> <br /> '''[[Aquilaris]]''' is ruled over by [[Duchess Nomia]]. This land is in charge of all of the water and marine life on the island and it's their responsibility that all citizens have clean drinking water, and all laws related to the rivers and canals are followed and not abused. Refrigeration and other coolant mana stones are charged here.<br /> <br /> '''[[Terra]]''' is ruled over by [[Duke Daeron]]. This is the agricultural center of the island where most food is cultivated. They have the responsibility to ensure all citizens have nutritious food, as well as making sure that all natural resources are responsibly harvested and replenished when possible. They also provide medicinal herbs as well as charging mana stones with force magic.<br /> <br /> '''[[Breezehaven]]''' is ruled over by [[Duchess Kethara]]. This land is tasked with controlling the airways, weather and ensuring breathable air is available for all. They also provide electricity to the cities via wind turbines. Electricity mana stones are charged here.<br /> <br /> '''[[Bulnoriya]]''' is ruled over by [[Duke Locian]]. This land is the source of minerals, gems mana stones and ore. The citizens work in mines. The mountains are located here, and the duchy is responsible for safety, and maintaining the caves. They mine the mana stones, they also charge all the mana stones for heat. The prison is located here.<br /> <br /> '''[[Apión]]''' is ruled by [[Duchess Nienna]]. This land is the land of magic and knowledge. They are mystical and sometimes dark because they deal in all manner of magic, including dark magic. This land is responsible for the fair use of magic, and to ensure it is not abused. They also refine the mana stones, and charge the magic ones.<br /> <br /> In the center of the island is a big castle where the queen lives. The queen is responsible for charging the crystal during her five year rule. Queens are selected every five years, from a different duchy each term.<br /> <br /> '''[[The Wilds]]'' The area surrounding the outside of the island. This is where the [[wildkin]] live. [[Wildkin]] include [[harpies]], [[naga]], [[selkie]], [[merfolk]], [[sphinx]], [[lycans]]<br /> <br /> <br /> ==='''Creation Lore'''===<br /> <br /> This new land was not connected to Telrunya anymore, so the magic had been cut off. In order to ensure the survival of her [[paeple]], the miakis leader started charging a crystal with her life force and magic. This crystal is located in the castle in the middle of the island. <br /> <br /> After a while, she found that she was ''aging''. Pae haven't been known to age. But by using her life force to power up the crystal, she'd used up nearly her whole life. Along with the five original dukes and duchesses, they devised a plan, and a way to keep the crystal charged. <br /> <br /> A mika is chosen from one duchy to become the queen. The queen will charge the crystal for five years, just long enough that it won't take her whole life force. The queen will live in the palace in the middle of the island, living a life of luxury. Upon retirement, the queen will become a noble and be set for life. Their whole family will be included and they can move to the capital of their duchy and receive a lifetime payment. Queens are revered and respected for having served the paeple and land.<br /> <br /> The queen can be any gender. After ten years, any former queen can become queen again. It takes ten years to recover.<br /> <br /> <br /> ==='''Tech &amp; Innovation'''===<br /> <br /> *Windmills &amp; Water Wheels provide unlimited electricity. So the inner city nobles have lights, running water, and refrigeration.<br /> *Outer city uses basic metered electricity and water. Refrigeration is expensive so not all homes have it.<br /> *The Wilds still live off of wells, candles, basic dark age stuff.<br /> *Electric tracks to move goods around the duchies and from the mines to manufacturers.<br /> *The mines have mana stones that are extremely valuable resources.<br /> <br /> <br /> ==='''Economy &amp; Trade'''===<br /> <br /> *Bulnoriya: Lumber, metal, smelting, mana stone mining, mana stone charging for heat<br /> *Terra: Lumber, fruits, vegetables, grains, herbs, animals, mana stone charging for gravity/force magic<br /> *Aquilaris: Water, fish, pearls, mana stone charging for cold<br /> *Breezehaven: Electricity, sky fruit, sky herbs, airships, mana stone charging for electricity<br /> *Apión: Educators, mana stone refinement &amp; selling, knowledge<br /> <br /> ==='''Lucandria Conflicts &amp; Politics'''===<br /> <br /> The duchies are on good terms though tension has happen due to differences in ideals.<br /> We are open to two Duchies having petty tension over border disputes, resources, electricity or water rights, and feelings on non-mika.

<p>Fable: </p> <hr /> <div>==Lucandria, Land of the Forgotten Miakis==<br /> <br /> In ancient times, during the [[Great War]], [[Templa]], the Queen of the [[Miakis]], self-destructed and imploded in an attempt to save the last of her people.<br /> <br /> ===Who are the Miakis===<br /> <br /> Among the first [[pae]] to live in the land of [[Telrunya]], Miakis were the third and most magically powerful. They held domain over the aether, sometimes called void, because they mastered spatial manipulation. <br /> <br /> They were led by the powerful [[Queen Templa]] and lived in a structure they called, [[The Hive]]. It was their temple and their home. On the outside, it was a beautiful white, ten-foot spiral. On the inside, it was a vast and lively community of Miakis and other elementals.<br /> <br /> Miakis had big, beautiful wings in many colors and shapes, which was their kind's hallmark. They were most aligned with magic and things not of this world.<br /> <br /> The descendants of the original survivors call themselves [[Mika]], to set themselves apart from the original elders that sacrificed their lives for the sake of their survival. The name Miakis evokes a sense of pride, sorrow and reverence. The name is sacred.<br /> <br /> ===The Great Implosion===<br /> <br /> The miakis had only just completed the ritual to hide the [[Book of Transcendence]] when the powerful blood pae army descended. In a last-ditch effort to save her beloved people from extinction, the miakis queen went to the nursery and sent all of the seeds and young, as well as her Second, Astralis Lucandria the aethermancer, to another plane to preserve their kind. The [[Blood Pae Army]] was eradicating all elementals, and they had already killed nearly all the naiad and faun so far.<br /> <br /> When the blood pae army reached her location, Templa built up as much aether energy as she could and imploded, sending Lucandria, the young miakis and whoever stood in the blast range to another realm. She hoped the [[Sila]] and [[Dracian]] would have more time to prepare as the blood pae army regrouped from the tragic loss of soldiers.<br /> <br /> ===On the Other Side===<br /> <br /> The other realm, sometimes called the astral plane, is called Aynurlet. There are three islands in Aynurlet. The island the lost miakis settled on is named Lucandria, after the miakis that saved them all.<br /> <br /> ===Modern Day Miakis===<br /> <br /> The ancient miakis exist no more. They have been living on an island in Aynurlet for 5 ages (5,000 years). They have evolved and changed over the centuries so they no longer resemble the miakis of old, but now look like Telrunya's [[fae]] pae. They call themselves the [[Mika]].<br /> <br /> ; Why fae pae?<br /> : After the generals of the Blood Pae army successfully eradicated all of the elementals, they ascended to become the [[Guardians]] of [[Angels]] and [[Demons]]. For centuries they watched over their own and provided for them. After so many ages, the guardians grew angry with their children and created the fae to act as mediators between the warring angels and demons.<br /> <br /> ; Guardians ''Created'' fae?<br /> : They found a way to bind a pae body to an idea that exists on the astral plane, to give it a soul. So while they claimed that was the only way it would keep them in Telrunya, the truth of the matter is that they stole baby miakis from Lucandria, and claimed to have made them as fae. <br /> <br /> ; Fae are miakis!<br /> : This means there will be no more new fae on Telrunya, except next-gen. They will all be mika!<br /> <br /> =='''Lucandria Setting Rules'''==<br /> <br /> The island is run by the five Dukes &amp; Duchesses They each have full say over their Duchy, but must meet with the others concerning the island as a whole. Mika leaders are the top of the leadership hierarchy, with Queens as social top hierarchy. A Queen elevates the whole family and they themselves are welcome to live in the inner city after the queens term. <br /> <br /> Mika with high magic affinity have the chance at Queendom with those having lower affinity don't have a chance at queendom. Any Pae not a Mika are the lowest in the social structure. Most of these make up the working class. <br /> <br /> '''[[Aquirilis]]''' is ruled over by [[Duchess Nomia]]. This land is in charge of all of the water and marine life on the island and it's their responsibility that all citizens have clean drinking water, and all laws related to the rivers and canals are followed and not abused. Refrigeration and other coolant mana stones are charged here.<br /> <br /> '''[[Terra]]''' is ruled over by [[Duke Daeron]]. This is the agricultural center of the island where most food is cultivated. They have the responsibility to ensure all citizens have nutritious food, as well as making sure that all natural resources are responsibly harvested and replenished when possible. They also provide medicinal herbs as well as charging mana stones with force magic.<br /> <br /> '''[[Breezehaven]]''' is ruled over by [[Duchess Kethara]]. This land is tasked with controlling the airways, weather and ensuring breathable air is available for all. They also provide electricity to the cities via wind turbines. Electricity mana stones are charged here.<br /> <br /> '''[[Bulnoriya]]''' is ruled over by [[Duke Locian]]. This land is the source of minerals, gems mana stones and ore. The citizens work in mines. The mountains are located here, and the duchy is responsible for safety, and maintaining the caves. They mine the mana stones, they also charge all the mana stones for heat. The prison is located here.<br /> <br /> '''[[Apión]]''' is ruled by [[Duchess Nienna]]. This land is the land of magic and knowledge. They are mystical and sometimes dark because they deal in all manner of magic, including dark magic. This land is responsible for the fair use of magic, and to ensure it is not abused. They also refine the mana stones, and charge the magic ones.<br /> <br /> In the center of the island is a big castle where the queen lives. The queen is responsible for charging the crystal during her five year rule. Queens are selected every five years, from a different duchy each term.<br /> <br /> '''[[The Wilds]]'' The area surrounding the outside of the island. This is where the [[wildkin]] live. [[Wildkin]] include [[harpies]], [[naga]], [[selkie]], [[merfolk]], [[sphinx]], [[lycans]]<br /> <br /> <br /> ==='''Creation Lore'''===<br /> <br /> This new land was not connected to Telrunya anymore, so the magic had been cut off. In order to ensure the survival of her [[paeple]], the miakis leader started charging a crystal with her life force and magic. This crystal is located in the castle in the middle of the island. <br /> <br /> After a while, she found that she was ''aging''. Pae haven't been known to age. But by using her life force to power up the crystal, she'd used up nearly her whole life. Along with the five original dukes and duchesses, they devised a plan, and a way to keep the crystal charged. <br /> <br /> A mika is chosen from one duchy to become the queen. The queen will charge the crystal for five years, just long enough that it won't take her whole life force. The queen will live in the palace in the middle of the island, living a life of luxury. Upon retirement, the queen will become a noble and be set for life. Their whole family will be included and they can move to the capital of their duchy and receive a lifetime payment. Queens are revered and respected for having served the paeple and land.<br /> <br /> The queen can be any gender. After ten years, any former queen can become queen again. It takes ten years to recover.<br /> <br /> <br /> ==='''Tech &amp; Innovation'''===<br /> <br /> *Windmills &amp; Water Wheels provide unlimited electricity. So the inner city nobles have lights, running water, and refrigeration.<br /> *Outer city uses basic metered electricity and water. Refrigeration is expensive so not all homes have it.<br /> *The Wilds still live off of wells, candles, basic dark age stuff.<br /> *Electric tracks to move goods around the duchies and from the mines to manufacturers.<br /> *The mines have mana stones that are extremely valuable resources.<br /> <br /> <br /> ==='''Economy &amp; Trade'''===<br /> <br /> *Bulnoriya: Lumber, metal, smelting, mana stone mining, mana stone charging for heat<br /> *Terra: Lumber, fruits, vegetables, grains, herbs, animals, mana stone charging for gravity/force magic<br /> *Aquilaris: Water, fish, pearls, mana stone charging for cold<br /> *Breezehaven: Electricity, sky fruit, sky herbs, airships, mana stone charging for electricity<br /> *Apión: Educators, mana stone refinement &amp; selling, knowledge<br /> <br /> ==='''Lucandria Conflicts &amp; Politics'''===<br /> <br /> The duchies are on good terms though tension has happen due to differences in ideals.<br /> We are open to two Duchies having petty tension over border disputes, resources, electricity or water rights, and feelings on non-mika. But war is not in the future for Lucandria.<br /> <br /> <br /> ==='''Fauna &amp; Flora'''===<br /> <br /> *Aquatic animals<br /> *Deer, rabbit, squirrel, other small animals to hunt or farm<br /> *Deer are the prime source of meat. They are kept, bred, and butchered like cows<br /> *Nutrient rich farmland growing basic vegetables and fruits <br /> *Natural fruit bushes, sky fruit trees, nut trees<br /> <br /> <br /> ==='''Religion'''===<br /> *They believe in all the elements with Apión as the most prominent.<br /> *Most priests and religious stuff come out of Apión duchy because of this.<br /> *Even though Apión is the most prominent, each tribe knows its importance in keeping the elemental balance so none feel lesser than the next.<br /> *Though some Pae can totally go hard for their element.<br /> <br /> <br /> ==='''Environmental Factors'''===<br /> *Astralis created a dome like structure around the island in order to make it as much like Telrunya as possible<br /> *It has a light source as well as evaporation/humidity that can create clouds and rain.<br /> *Not much else weather like happens.

<p>Fable: </p> <hr /> <div>=Breezehaven Duchy=<br /> <br /> ==1. General Information==<br /> <br /> ;Name of the Duchy: Duchy of Breezehaven<br /> ;Ruler’s Name and Title: [[Duchess Kethara]]<br /> ;Motto: “Light as Air, Free as the Wind”<br /> ;Coat of Arms: A Gryphon against a backdrop of clouds and sky<br /> ;Flag: Light blue with a white, stylized wing in the center<br /> <br /> ==2. Geography==<br /> ===Location===<br /> Western section of [[Lucandria]]<br /> <br /> ===City Names=== <br /> :• '''Aerion Heights:''' This is the land nearest the Queen’s castle where Breezehaven’s royalty live. Duchess Kethara’s own home rests on a floating piece of land above in the shape of a spire- hence the name. They live plush lives with the electrical advancements they have created- lights, refrigeration, running water, etc. Anything you could possibly need can be found here: schools, hospitals, parks, restaurants, cafes, and even an inventors guild.<br /> <br /> :• '''Gale’s Rest:''' Unless born into nobility or rising through the ranks through marriage or the Queen lottery, most of Breezehaven’s Mikas live here. Those of higher magic affinity live closer to the water nearer to the Royalty with those of lower affinity back towards The Wilds. A road and their own electrical advancements keep them separated from the Wildkin. They don’t have nearly as much as Aerion Heights, but they do have refrigerators, lights for the evenings, and running water.<br /> <br /> ===Town Names===<br /> :• '''Tempest Hollow:''' This village houses those Fae who work at The Landing that are not of the royal clan. They have some of the similar electrical advancements of Gale’s Rest, but just located closer to work for convenience. Again, only those who work at The Landing live here unless providing something necessary to the town.<br /> <br /> :• '''Windfall Village:''' This village houses those Mika who work with the windmills. Due to the constant amount of wind in this area, the town has been surrounded in a special ‘calm’ bubble the keeps only a gentle breeze blowing through the Village. Again, only those who work with the windmills live here unless providing something necessary to the town.<br /> <br /> ;The Wilds: This area of untamed space is where most Wildkin are found. Without magic abilities they were forced to the outskirts and handle a lot of the manual labor for the Breezehaven Duchy. Though they aren’t enslaved, the Mikas are incredibly prejudiced against them.<br /> <br /> ===Major Land Features===<br /> :• '''Sky Gardens:''' Floating gardens suspended by air magic. Some focus on flowers while others grow cloud fruit &amp; sky herbs.<br /> :• '''The Landing:''' Airship production shop &amp; major landing port for the Breezehaven Duchy<br /> :• '''Windward Market:''' An aerial market where most of the trading happens. You can find Breezehaven’s special cloud fruit &amp; sky herbs here.<br /> :• '''Windy Plains:''' Open, breezy areas perfect for windmills &amp; electricity production.<br /> :• '''Sky Library:''' An aerial library holding most of Breezehaven’s knowledge.<br /> :• '''Celestial Observatory:''' A center for the sciences. Their main research is on the void space around them and how to reconnect with Telrunya- the ancient home of their ancestors.<br /> :• '''The Roost:''' Breeding grounds for the Harpies.<br /> :• '''Whispering Woods:''' When the breeze runs through the trees it almost sounds like a whisper of the air element itself.<br /> <br /> ===Climate===<br /> :'''General Climate:''' Mild and breezy with frequent clear skies. The Windy Plains see a decent amount of continuous airflow making it not the best place to live, but incredible for their windmills!<br /> :'''Seasons:''' Subtle seasonal changes with a consistent light breeze year-round. Thanks to the breeze, they never have to worry about a bad day out. Just watch out for the rainy season, some times the wind gets so powerful you can see the drops running sideways.<br /> <br /> ==3. Economy==<br /> <br /> ===Primary Industries===<br /> : • '''Weather Control:''' Providing weather where necessary for all the Duchies<br /> : • '''Cloud Farming:''' Cultivation of rare herbs and fruits that grow in the sky<br /> : • '''Airship Crafting:''' Building and maintaining airships for transport and trade<br /> : • '''Wind Energy:''' Harnessing wind power for energy and various applications<br /> : • '''Air Mana Stones:''' Imbues the stones with wind energy creating a sort of 'electricity' magic within them.<br /> <br /> ===Major Exports===<br /> : • Cloud fruits<br /> : • Sky herbs<br /> : • Airships <br /> : • Electricity / Wind energy via air mana stones<br /> <br /> ===Major Imports=== <br /> : • Food<br /> : • Metals/gemstones/marble <br /> : • Aquatic products<br /> : • Enchanted items<br /> : • Mana stones<br /> <br /> ===Currency===<br /> : Celestial Crown<br /> <br /> ===Trade Routes===<br /> : • Air Routes: Extensive network of airship routes connecting Breezehaven with other duchies<br /> : • Internal: Internal trade routes are run by electric carts<br /> : • Trade Partners: All duchies, with a focus on exchanging unique goods like wind energy and sky-grown produce<br /> <br /> ==4. Society and Culture==<br /> ===Population===<br /> : • '''Total Population:''' Approximately 400,000<br /> : • '''Major Ethnic Groups:''' Mikas, Harpies, other Wildkin<br /> : • '''Languages Spoken:''' Ancient Miaki “Lucandrian”, Air dialect which almost sounds like singing.<br /> <br /> ===Religion===<br /> : • Dominant Religion: Aether or Magic itself is the greatest element, but many Worship the Wind Element <br /> <br /> ===Education===<br /> : '''Literacy Rate:''' High for Mikas; Wildkin is questionable<br /> : Aerion Heights and Gale’s Rest are outfitted with multiple schools to educate the Mika children. Once their formal education is complete, they can choose to start their work or go for further education. There is a number of schools within Breezehaven’s borders or they can be sent to Apión.<br /> ;Major Universities<br /> : • '''Celestial Institute of Aeronautics:''' For those interested in airships- building them, how they fly, etc. They’re always looking for a new way to reinvent them.<br /> : • '''Windharp Conservatory of Music:''' For those musically inclined. The Windharp Concert Hall runs this college, picking the elite to join their orchestras.<br /> : • '''Lumina Institute of Discovery:''' This institution is focused on the sciences. Many notable Mikas who went on to work for the Celestial Observatory graduated from here.<br /> <br /> ===Cultural Heritage:===<br /> ;Festivals:<br /> : • '''Sky Fair:''' Celebrating the freedom of flight and wind magic. This is the largest festival with presentations from The Landing, Celestial Observatory, and others showcasing some of the newest developments. The Windharp Concert Hall always has special outdoor shows with new musical scores. There is always lovely wind magic themed dishes to try with rows and rows of food vendors. It’s an event no one is willing to miss!<br /> : • '''Wind Dance Festival:''' A yearly festival put on by the Windharp Concert Hall that dives into Breezehaven’s past with traditional dances performed on floating platforms. A must see for the lovers of music and dance.<br /> : • '''Cloud Harvesting:''' The seasonal cloud fruit and sky herb harvest season brings many from all over Breezehaven. Every Mika meets in the gardens and are given a basket to collect as much as they can carry. Making it a great event for all ages.<br /> <br /> ===Traditional Music/Dance=== <br /> : • Wind harp music<br /> : • Aerial acrobatics<br /> : • Sky dances<br /> <br /> ===Cuisine=== <br /> : Most every day dishes are light on the stomach, but always oddly fulfilling despite it. Clean and light.

Geography==<br /> ===Location===<br /> Western section of [[Lucandria]]<br /> <br /> ===City Names=== <br /> :• '''Aerion Heights:''' This is the land nearest the Queen’s castle where Breezehaven’s royalty live. Duchess Kethara’s own home rests on a floating piece of land above in the shape of a spire- hence the name. They live plush lives with the electrical advancements they have created- lights, refrigeration, running water, etc. Anything you could possibly need can be found here: schools, hospitals, parks, restaurants, cafes, and even an inventors guild.<br /> <br /> :• '''Gale’s Rest:''' Unless born into nobility or rising through the ranks through marriage or the Queen lottery, most of Breezehaven’s Mikas live here. Those of higher magic affinity live closer to the water nearer to the Royalty with those of lower affinity back towards The Wilds.

They don’t have nearly as much as Aerion Heights, but they do have refrigerators, lights for the evenings, and running water.<br /> <br /> ===Town Names===<br /> :• '''Tempest Hollow:''' This village houses those Fae who work at The Landing that are not of the royal clan.

Again, only those who work at The Landing live here unless providing something necessary to the town.<br /> <br /> :• '''Windfall Village:''' This village houses those Mika who work with the windmills. Due to the constant amount of wind in this area, the town has been surrounded in a special ‘calm’ bubble the keeps only a gentle breeze blowing through the Village. Again, only those who work with the windmills live here unless providing something necessary to the town.<br /> <br /> ;The Wilds: This area of untamed space is where most Wildkin are found. Without magic abilities they were forced to the outskirts and handle a lot of the manual labor for the Breezehaven Duchy.

Some focus on flowers while others grow cloud fruit &amp; sky herbs.<br /> :• '''The Landing:''' Airship production shop &amp; major landing port for the Breezehaven Duchy<br /> :• '''Windward Market:''' An aerial market where most of the trading happens.

The Windy Plains see a decent amount of continuous airflow making it not the best place to live, but incredible for their windmills!<br /> :'''Seasons:''' Subtle seasonal changes with a consistent light breeze year-round. Thanks to the breeze, they never have to worry about a bad day out. Just watch out for the rainy season, some times the wind gets so powerful you can see the drops running sideways.<br /> <br /> ==3.

There is a number of schools within Breezehaven’s borders or they can be sent to Apión.<br /> ;Major Universities<br /> : • '''Celestial Institute of Aeronautics:''' For those interested in airships- building them, how they fly, etc. They’re always looking for a new way to reinvent them.<br /> : • '''Windharp Conservatory of Music:''' For those musically inclined.

It’s an event no one is willing to miss!<br /> : • '''Wind Dance Festival:''' A yearly festival put on by the Windharp Concert Hall that dives into Breezehaven’s past with traditional dances performed on floating platforms. A must see for the lovers of music and dance.<br /> : • '''Cloud Harvesting:''' The seasonal cloud fruit and sky herb harvest season brings many from all over Breezehaven.

Geography==<br /> ===Location===<br /> Western section of [[Lucandria]]<br /> <br /> ===City Names=== <br /> :• '''Aerion Heights:''' This is the land nearest the Queen’s castle where Breezehaven’s royalty live.

The Windy Plains see a decent amount of continuous airflow making it not the best place to live, but incredible for their windmills!<br /> :'''Seasons:''' Subtle seasonal changes with a consistent light breeze year-round. Thanks to the breeze, they never have to worry about a bad day out. Just watch out for the rainy season, some times the wind gets so powerful you can see the drops running sideways.<br /> <br /> ==3.

Once their formal education is complete, they can choose to start their work or go for further education. There is a number of schools within Breezehaven’s borders or they can be sent to Apión.<br /> ;Major Universities<br /> : • '''Celestial Institute of Aeronautics:''' For those interested in airships- building them, how they fly, etc. They’re always looking for a new way to reinvent them.<br /> : • '''Windharp Conservatory of Music:''' For those musically inclined.

<p>Fable: /* Primary Industries */</p> <hr /> <div>=Breezehaven Duchy=<br /> <br /> ==1. General Information==<br /> <br /> ;Name of the Duchy: Duchy of Breezehaven<br /> ;Ruler’s Name and Title: [[Duchess Kethara]]<br /> ;Motto: “Light as Air, Free as the Wind”<br /> ;Coat of Arms: A Gryphon against a backdrop of clouds and sky<br /> ;Flag: Light blue with a white, stylized wing in the center<br /> <br /> ==2. Geography==<br /> ===Location===<br /> Western section of [[Lucandria]]<br /> <br /> ===City Names=== <br /> :• '''Aerion Heights:''' This is the land nearest the Queen’s castle where Breezehaven’s royalty live. Duchess Kethara’s own home rests on a floating piece of land above in the shape of a spire- hence the name. They live plush lives with the electrical advancements they have created- lights, refrigeration, running water, etc. Anything you could possibly need can be found here: schools, hospitals, parks, restaurants, cafes, and even an inventors guild.<br /> <br /> :• '''Gale’s Rest:''' Unless born into nobility or rising through the ranks through marriage or the Queen lottery, most of Breezehaven’s Mikas live here. Those of higher magic affinity live closer to the water nearer to the Royalty with those of lower affinity back towards The Wilds. A road and their own electrical advancements keep them separated from the Wildkin. They don’t have nearly as much as Aerion Heights, but they do have refrigerators, lights for the evenings, and running water.<br /> <br /> ===Town Names===<br /> :• '''Tempest Hollow:''' This village houses those Fae who work at The Landing that are not of the royal clan. They have some of the similar electrical advancements of Gale’s Rest, but just located closer to work for convenience. Again, only those who work at The Landing live here unless providing something necessary to the town.<br /> <br /> :• '''Windfall Village:''' This village houses those Mika who work with the windmills. Due to the constant amount of wind in this area, the town has been surrounded in a special ‘calm’ bubble the keeps only a gentle breeze blowing through the Village. Again, only those who work with the windmills live here unless providing something necessary to the town.<br /> <br /> ;The Wilds: This area of untamed space is where most Wildkin are found. Without magic abilities they were forced to the outskirts and handle a lot of the manual labor for the Breezehaven Duchy. Though they aren’t enslaved, the Mikas are incredibly prejudiced against them.<br /> <br /> ===Major Land Features===<br /> :• '''Sky Gardens:''' Floating gardens suspended by air magic. Some focus on flowers while others grow cloud fruit &amp; sky herbs.<br /> :• '''The Landing:''' Airship production shop &amp; major landing port for the Breezehaven Duchy<br /> :• '''Windward Market:''' An aerial market where most of the trading happens. You can find Breezehaven’s special cloud fruit &amp; sky herbs here.<br /> :• '''Windy Plains:''' Open, breezy areas perfect for windmills &amp; electricity production.<br /> :• '''Sky Library:''' An aerial library holding most of Breezehaven’s knowledge.<br /> :• '''Celestial Observatory:''' A center for the sciences. Their main research is on the void space around them and how to reconnect with Telrunya- the ancient home of their ancestors.<br /> :• '''The Roost:''' Breeding grounds for the Harpies.<br /> :• '''Whispering Woods:''' When the breeze runs through the trees it almost sounds like a whisper of the air element itself.<br /> <br /> ===Climate===<br /> :'''General Climate:''' Mild and breezy with frequent clear skies. The Windy Plains see a decent amount of continuous airflow making it not the best place to live, but incredible for their windmills!<br /> :'''Seasons:''' Subtle seasonal changes with a consistent light breeze year-round. Thanks to the breeze, they never have to worry about a bad day out. Just watch out for the rainy season, some times the wind gets so powerful you can see the drops running sideways.<br /> <br /> ==3. Economy==<br /> <br /> ===Primary Industries===<br /> :• '''Weather Control:''' Providing weather where necessary for all the Duchies<br /> :• '''Cloud Farming:''' Cultivation of rare herbs and fruits that grow in the sky<br /> :•'''Airship Crafting:''' Building and maintaining airships for transport and trade<br /> : • '''Wind Energy:''' Harnessing wind power for energy and various applications<br /> <br /> ===Major Exports===<br /> : • Cloud fruits<br /> : • Sky herbs<br /> : • Airships <br /> : • Electricity / Wind energy<br /> <br /> ===Major Imports=== <br /> : • Food<br /> : • Metals/gemstones/marble <br /> : • Aquatic products<br /> : • Enchanted items<br /> : • Mana stones<br /> <br /> ===Currency===<br /> : Celestial Crown<br /> <br /> ===Trade Routes===<br /> : • Air Routes: Extensive network of airship routes connecting Breezehaven with other duchies<br /> : • Internal: Internal trade routes are run by electric carts<br /> : • Trade Partners: All duchies, with a focus on exchanging unique goods like wind energy and sky-grown produce<br /> <br /> ==4. Society and Culture==<br /> ===Population===<br /> : • '''Total Population:''' Approximately 400,000<br /> : • '''Major Ethnic Groups:''' Mikas, Harpies, other Wildkin<br /> : • '''Languages Spoken:''' Ancient Miaki “Lucandrian”, Air dialect which almost sounds like singing.<br /> <br /> ===Religion===<br /> : • Dominant Religion: Aether or Magic itself is the greatest element, but many Worship the Wind Element <br /> <br /> ===Education===<br /> : '''Literacy Rate:''' High for Mikas; Wildkin is questionable<br /> : Aerion Heights and Gale’s Rest are outfitted with multiple schools to educate the Mika children. Once their formal education is complete, they can choose to start their work or go for further education. There is a number of schools within Breezehaven’s borders or they can be sent to Apión.<br /> ;Major Universities<br /> : • '''Celestial Institute of Aeronautics:''' For those interested in airships- building them, how they fly, etc. They’re always looking for a new way to reinvent them.<br /> : • '''Windharp Conservatory of Music:''' For those musically inclined. The Windharp Concert Hall runs this college, picking the elite to join their orchestras.<br /> : • '''Lumina Institute of Discovery:''' This institution is focused on the sciences.

This is the largest festival with presentations from The Landing, Celestial Observatory, and others showcasing some of the newest developments. The Windharp Concert Hall always has special outdoor shows with new musical scores. There is always lovely wind magic themed dishes to try with rows and rows of food vendors. It’s an event no one is willing to miss!<br /> : • '''Wind Dance Festival:''' A yearly festival put on by the Windharp Concert Hall that dives into Breezehaven’s past with traditional dances performed on floating platforms. A must see for the lovers of music and dance.<br /> : • '''Cloud Harvesting:''' The seasonal cloud fruit and sky herb harvest season brings many from all over Breezehaven. Every Mika meets in the gardens and are given a basket to collect as much as they can carry. Making it a great event for all ages.<br /> <br /> ===Traditional Music/Dance=== <br /> : • Wind harp music<br /> : • Aerial acrobatics<br /> : • Sky dances<br /> <br /> ===Cuisine=== <br /> : Most every day dishes are light on the stomach, but always oddly fulfilling despite it. Clean and light. Some of the local favorites are:<br /> : • Cloud fruits<br /> : • Sky herbs<br /> : • Light and airy pastries<br /> : • Wind-spun candies<br /> <br /> ===Art and Architecture=== <br /> : Elegant, airy structures that blend with the sky; sculptures that move with the wind. They are particularly lovers of music even to the point their speaking dialect is almost song like.<br /> <br /> ==5. Governance and Law==<br /> ===Government Type===<br /> : • '''Monarchy/Feudal System:''' Duchy under the rule of Duchess Kethara<br /> : • '''Administrative Divisions:''' Those under Duchess Kethara are named royalty: Marquess / Marchioness, Viscount / Viscountess, &amp; Baron / Baronness. These titles are given to Pae in high stations of work such as the head of The Landing production, Windharp Concert Hall, etc.<br /> <br /> ===Legal System:===<br /> : '''Common Laws:''' Don’t kill anyone, don’t steal, don’t damage others property, don’t destroy the land that supports us.

She has the final say in every court case, but the judges handle the proceedings and information gathering for her to make a sound judgement on the case.<br /> <br /> ===Military===<br /> : • '''The Storm Guard:''' A police force found throughout the Duchy. They are highly trained individuals tasked with keeping the peace.<br /> : • '''The Skyward Guard:''' Duchess Kethara’s personal guard. There is a constant rotation of Skyward Guards around her as well as her home in the Skyspire.<br /> <br /> ===Alliances and Rivalries===<br /> : • '''Allies:''' Generally neutral with strong trade relations with all duchies.<br /> : • '''Rivals:''' Occasional disputes with the others over airspace boundaries and needed weather patterns.<br /> : • '''Playful Rivalry:''' Fire. It is not known how the tradition started, but any time one of them visit’s the other’s personal suite an item of value goes missing. At the end of the year they have a get together where they return the items and tell stories on how they did it. Biggest item wins.<br /> <br /> ==6. History==<br /> <br /> • Founding: Established when Lucandria named the first Dukes and Duchesses to rule the land and the Miakis who had come over with them. Breezehaven was given their portion of land due to the high winds in order to keep the balance of the wind element.<br /> Major Historical Events:<br /> • The Great Flight: The first successful airship flight.<br /> • The Skyward Expansion: Exploration and settlement of floating islands and sky gardens.<br /> Notable Historical Figures:<br /> • Duchess Sinnclair: The first Duchess of Breezehaven and its founder.<br /> • Duchess Kethara: Current ruler, known for her wisdom and mastery of wind magic<br /> • Lord Winchester: The creator of the airship. <br /> • Lady Aeliana: Famous explorer and pioneer of airship travel.<br /> <br /> Historical Conflicts:<br /> • The setting up of weather patterns that worked for all Duchies. It was an incredibly tense debate as it could put one’s landscape ahead of the other.

Because it was such a leap in the sciences, there was skepticism that it would actually work for them.<br /> <br /> ==7. Infrastructure==<br /> <br /> Transportation:<br /> • Roads: Limited; mostly pathways connecting key areas. Most fly anyways.<br /> • Bridges: Suspension bridges linking Breezehaven to the other Duchies. Simple bridges over waterways. All this for the transportation of goods when unable to use the airships.<br /> • Ports: Sky &amp; land docks for airships both on floating island and the main lands themselves. A water dock for water based transportation and trade.<br /> • Other Means of Transportation: Electric railways within Breezehaven to make trade within its borders easier and faster.<br /> <br /> Public Services:<br /> • Healthcare: Clinics and hospitals are found in all major cities.

General Information==<br /> <br /> ;Name of the Duchy: Duchy of Breezehaven<br /> ;Ruler’s Name and Title: [[Duchess Kethara]]<br /> ;Motto: “Light as Air, Free as the Wind”<br /> ;Coat of Arms: A Gryphon against a backdrop of clouds and sky<br /> ;Flag: Light blue with a white, stylized wing in the center<br /> <br /> ==2. Geography==<br /> ;Location: Western section of [[Lucandria]]<br /> <br /> ;City Name: • '''Aerion Heights:''' This is the land nearest the Queen’s castle where Breezehaven’s royalty live. Duchess Kethara’s own home rests on a floating piece of land above in the shape of a spire- hence the name. They live plush lives with the electrical advancements they have created- lights, refrigeration, running water, etc. Anything you could possibly need can be found here: schools, hospitals, parks, restaurants, cafes, and even an inventors guild.<br /> <br /> :• '''Gale’s Rest:''' Unless born into nobility or rising through the ranks through marriage or the Queen lottery, most of Breezehaven’s Mikas live here. Those of higher magic affinity live closer to the water nearer to the Royalty with those of lower affinity back towards The Wilds. A road and their own electrical advancements keep them separated from the Wildkin. They don’t have nearly as much as Aerion Heights, but they do have refrigerators, lights for the evenings, and running water.<br /> <br /> ;Town Name: • '''Tempest Hollow:''' This village houses those Fae who work at The Landing that are not of the royal clan. They have some of the similar electrical advancements of Gale’s Rest, but just located closer to work for convivence. Again, only those who work at The Landing live here unless providing something necessary to the town.<br /> <br /> : • '''Windfall Village:''' This village houses those Mika who work with the windmills. Due to the constant amount of wind in this area, the town has been surrounded in a special ‘calm’ bubble the keeps only a gentle breeze blowing through the Village. Again, only those who work with the windmills live here unless providing something necessary to the town.<br /> <br /> ;The Wilds: This area of untamed space is where most Wildkin are found. Without magic abilities they were forced to the outskirts and handle a lot of the manual labor for the Breezehaven Duchy. Though they aren’t enslaved, the Mikas are incredibly prejudiced against them.<br /> <br /> ;Major Land Features:<br /> :• '''Sky Gardens:''' Floating gardens suspended by air magic. Some focus on flowers while others grow cloud fruit &amp; sky herbs.<br /> :• '''The Landing:''' Airship production shop &amp; major landing port for the Breezehaven Duchy<br /> :• '''Windward Market:''' An aerial market where most of the trading happens. You can find Breezehaven’s special cloud fruit &amp; sky herbs here.<br /> :• '''Windy Plains:''' Open, breezy areas perfect for windmills &amp; electricity production.<br /> :• '''Sky Library:''' An aerial library holding most of Breezehaven’s knowledge.<br /> :• '''Celestial Observatory:''' A center for the sciences. Their main research is on the void space around them and how to reconnect with Telrunya- the ancient home of their ancestors.<br /> :• '''The Roost:''' Breeding grounds for the Harpies.<br /> :• '''Whispering Woods:''' When the breeze runs through the trees it almost sounds like a whisper of the air element itself.<br /> <br /> ;Climate:<br /> :'''General Climate:''' Mild and breezy with frequent clear skies. The Windy Plains see a decent amount of continuous airflow making it not the best place to live, but incredible for their windmills!<br /> :'''Seasons:''' Subtle seasonal changes with a consistent light breeze year-round. Thanks to the breeze, they never have to worry about a bad day out. Just watch out for the rainy season, some times the wind gets so powerful you can see the drops running sideways.<br /> <br /> ==3. Economy==<br /> <br /> ===;Primary Industries:===<br /> :• '''Weather Control:''' Providing weather where necessary for all the Duchies<br /> :• '''Cloud Farming:''' Cultivation of rare herbs and fruits that grow in the sky<br /> :•'''Airship Crafting:''' Building and maintaining airships for transport and trade<br /> • Wind Energy: Harnessing wind power for energy and various applications<br /> <br /> Major Exports: Cloud fruits, sky herbs, airships, and wind energy.<br /> Major Imports: Food, metals, gemstones, aquatic products, and enchanted items<br /> Currency: Celestial Crown<br /> <br /> Trade Routes:<br /> • Air Routes: Extensive network of airship routes connecting Breezehaven with other duchies<br /> • Internal: Internal trade routes are run by electric carts<br /> • Trade Partners: All duchies, with a focus on exchanging unique goods like wind energy and sky-grown produce<br /> <br /> 4.

The Windharp Concert Hall runs this college, picking the elite to join their orchestras.<br /> Lumina Institute of Discovery: This institution is focused on the sciences. Many notable Mikas who went on to work for the Celestial Observatory graduated from here.<br /> <br /> • Literacy Rate: High for Mikas; Wildkin is questionable<br /> <br /> Cultural Heritage:<br /> Festivals:<br /> • Sky Fair: Celebrating the freedom of flight and wind magic. This is the largest festival with presentations from The Landing, Celestial Observatory, and others showcasing some of the newest developments.

Making it a great event for all ages.<br /> <br /> Traditional Music/Dance: Wind harp music, aerial acrobatics, and sky dances<br /> Cuisine: Cloud fruits, sky herbs, light and airy pastries, and wind-spun candies are some of the local favorites. Most every day dishes are light on the stomach, but always oddly fulfilling despite it. Clean and light.<br /> Art and Architecture: Elegant, airy structures that blend with the sky; sculptures that move with the wind.

It is not known how the tradition started, but any time one of them visit’s the other’s personal suite an item of value goes missing. At the end of the year they have a get together where they return the items and tell stories on how they did it. Biggest item wins.<br /> <br /> 6. History<br /> <br /> • Founding: Established when Lucandria named the first Dukes and Duchesses to rule the land and the Miakis who had come over with them.

It was an incredibly tense debate as it could put one’s landscape ahead of the other. Providing some Duchies with more growth where another could lose out.<br /> • Convincing the other Duchies that the use of airships was an advancement and not a death sentence. Because it was such a leap in the sciences, there was skepticism that it would actually work for them.<br /> <br /> 7. Infrastructure<br /> <br /> Transportation:<br /> • Roads: Limited; mostly pathways connecting key areas. Most fly anyways.<br /> • Bridges: Suspension bridges linking Breezehaven to the other Duchies. Simple bridges over waterways.
