Night fell over the chrome city, the neon lights flickering on across the entire expanse as Lotus City burst alive once more as. Its skyscrapers shone brightly in the night sky like beacons, even those living in Shanghai could make out the dim glow from the beach. Men and women of all races and nationality stood in line at the Immigration Center as the tram closed down, the dull sound of a robotic voice over head welcoming them to their new home, instructing them on where to go for temporary or long term stay, even guiding them to restaurants. Few, however, would expect all that sound to be gone in an instant, replaced simply by a booming explosion which caused the building to shudder and near collapse.

The tram station was nothing more than rubble and bodies strewn everywhere, a few survivors managed to hobble out of the station as cops and Corp security rushed in to assess the scene. Nothing remained of the bomber except a few limbs, a damaged aug here and there, and the black scorch mark which marred the chrome floors. Long had Lotus City existed as a state free from the rule of a government and long had they managed to avoid such incidents, even with many other Corps out to destroy them and even the gangs of looking to take control of its streets. Lotus City soon sat in silence as a booming voice announced a total lockdown of the city for the remainder of the night, nobody in and nobody out with a strict curfew.

Whoever had committed such an atrocity surely must’ve had allies inside the city, at least that was the only conclusion Lotus could reach. Weeks later, however, the city returned to normal though rumours spread of shadows moving in the night. Some believed that the bombing of the Immigration Center was a way to make a statement, however others saw it as a distraction meant to allow those in the shadows to move more freely. Even now plans have been set into motion which might shake Lotus City to its core, plans which may very well result in the citizens in choosing who they will stand with.

Welcome to Locus City and Neon Skies, I’d like to thank you for taking the time to read over all that offer a brief overview of information which will be further established in the OOC however will be important to the world as a whole.

• The current year is 2078
• In 2000 the world experience what is now described as the Sundering, supposedly a cross dimensional collision with an alternate version of Earth where magic and magical creatures actually existed.
• The Sundering resulted in the introduction of Magic to Earth and the Elves and Orcs are part of the population.
• Magic was not well understood for many years and the prejudice held against the foreign races led to a long standing embargo on sharing the science of magic or research of it.
• Many corporations popped into existence some time in 2015, some created by race conglomerates and others simply by those contracting with the governments to research magic faster than each other.
• Lotus was one of the first Corporations to form and has been the leader in Magi-tech research.
• With the help of Magic, the world experienced a tech boom through at 2020-2040 called the Chrome Age

Lotus City: the Neon Jewel

---

Welcome valued Citizens to Lotus City, we at Lotus hope you will enjoy your time here. In the meantime…

The sounds of the city faded in an out as the tram flew through the city, its circuitous route showing the neon lit city in the full glory of the setting sun. People were crammed onto the train, some new imports to the city looking to strike it big, some merely travelers from Shanghai or Nagasaki. Lotus City had originally been planned to be nothing more than a utopia for the big wigs of Lotus, a way to escape the dregs of society and the smog filled air of the big cities. It was a big step forward for any corp to take and a bold move to claim the City as neither property of Japan or China even with its position between the two.

Plans, however, fell through quickly as Lotus realized that the city simply could not run on their executives salaries, at least not without upsetting them more than was necessary. Lotus City soon became a hub for immigrants from the nearby countries, pulling in wannabe millionaires and realists alike. Some saw it as a chance to make a name for themselves by joining Lotus at the HQ and some simply saw it as an escape from the violence of the gangs which ruled China and the Yakuza who held the finances of Japan. Soon the other Corps moved into Lotus City, buying out their own portion of the land and freeing themselves from overbearing governments of other nations.

Now, now Lotus City truly was a site to behold in the glory of its neon lights and shining chrome. On every corner you could find men and women from almost any nation, their profession varying just as much in the process. It became a haven for the ill-loved of society, the forgotten and hated, augs, deckers, you name it. Even more so was the surprisingly lax view Lotus had for Elves and Orcs, welcoming them as if they were no different from humans.

Reality, however, was far from what people liked to believe it to be. The downtrodden and poor were subjected to the worst treatment in the slums; no freedom from the gangs which had plagued them. Augs were forced to register themselves to Lotus, to pay a fee every month based on what they had. A ‘Citizen Protection’ fee they called it, just another excuse to in case an aug went wild. Even the Elves and Orcs faced the same prejudice they had before, finding it hard to integrate with the local population and find jobs, even being forced into separate districts than humans.

The Order of the Sacred Flame

Order of the Sacred Flame

There are none who remember when the Sacred Flame was first lit, none who remember when it last wavered in the wind. All that the people remember is the day when the Sacred Flame became but embers in its brazier, cinders in the wind.

The Sacred Flame has been a long standing religious entity in the lands of Ioria and have long existed as a neutral party among the nations. Its first rise to power was in the early years of the war between the Humans and Elves, before the time of the Imperium and Eroammir. During this time the Sacred Flame was best known for its actions in settling conflicts between the Dwarven Clans in the Ghenna Mountains and, in doing so, earning itself recruits and followers. It was not long before that the Sacred Flame established their first monastery in the Farron Peak of the Mountains, soon lighting the Sacred Flame with magic now lost.

As time went on the Sacred Flame established the Order, a division of its people who were more martial than religious and more than willing to settle the petty squabbles of others. The Order grew quickly in light of the ongoing war and, eventually, became the ones who ushered in the First Era with the uneasy truce between the two races. The Treaty of Farron is often believed to be the Order’s greatest move and its triumphant rise to fame. In the follow ages the Order settled many disputes ranging from land rights to claims of sabotage. As the nations of Ioria formed, so too did the Order’s many connections and treaties which have, to this day, provided them with free access to many kingdoms.

However, it is believed that the peak of the Order has long since passed as a steady decline has been noted in willful recruits let alone those who would so willingly uphold their duty without bias. Most who serve the Order to this day come from long lines of soldiers having done so in the past or simply are lordlings looking to make a name for themselves or worse, as part of ‘tradition’. With their members stagnating and growing more placid as the years of gone by, the Order’s own attempts to get influence in the lands of Weirn have often been met with apathy at best, disgust at worst. The state of the Order has even led to the rumour that the leaders have begun allowing criminals, regardless of their crime, join in order to be ‘redeemed’ by the Sacred Flame

Weirn

”We speak of the Kings in the North as if they were legends, as if they had died the very moment we mention them. They sit in their halls watching Orimmir and the lands of Horimir beyond, protecting the Southern Kingdoms while they squabble over farmlands and forests. They train their soldiers to fight, to die for their king and queen, to leave behind a legacy and measure one’s worth not in coin but in heads they’ve cut off. Their women and children understand well that they very well might not see their Father the next day, that their neighbors could just as easily die form a raid as from illness.

Yet they have not request we pay them any tributes, no tithes for protection nor feasts in their honor. The Kings of Weirn are living legends each in their own rights. “

Long have the northern lands of Weirn ruled freely over themselves, bowing to none of the Southern Kingdoms nor the tribes of Horimir. The cities of Weirn are believed to have been the first established settlements of Man, built long before history was ever recorded. Though the original foundations have become nothing more than ruins, stones jutting out of the imposing mountain range, the cities are ancient nonetheless. The Kings of Weirn are no less ancient, their bloodlines long and storied in their Great Wars against the Horimir and even some detailing skirmishes into the Southern Lands.

Of these lands exist seven major cities, protectors of the passes through Orimmir which the Horimir may take south. Of these seven, there exist three which stand above all else. The grand fortress of the north, Normundr. The bustling trade city and meeting spot of the Kings, Vernthouth. Last of all, the grand port city of Haev. Though these three have more influence over Weirn as a whole, it is noted that their relationship is more or less symbiotic. Due to Normundr’s position in the far north, they rely on the fishing and farming surplus from Vernthouth and Haev to survive, Vernthouth in turn relies on Haev for its connection to the Terrimmir Sea.

Normundr

Normundr

The fortress of Normundr is a rarity, a relic of the First Great War and one of the only cities located beyond Orimmir. Built on the orders of King Norim, Normundr is a bustling cities whose walls keep out foul winds and Horimir alike. Originally built as a military outpost, Normundr was meant to be abandoned after the First Great War however the looming threat of the Horimir pushed King Norim to declare the city his seat of power. Since then Normundr has weathered two more Great Wars, its walls never failing nor its people falling to the Horimir.

From the great city has come some of the best warriors of Weirn, Hagrir’s Rangers. The Rangers are legends among the cities of Weir as the elite fighting force of the current King of Normundr, Hagrir. All Rangers are handpicked by Hagrir and trained for years to hone their skills and train them how to fight the Horimir in their homelands. Many of the Rangers are skilled with both bow and sword, though few choose to learn what magic they can to supplement their ability in combat. Hagrir himself is nothing less than a legend among the Kings, a man aged sixty on the front lines of battle with almost double his age in kills.

Vernthouth

Vernthouth

Vernthouth is one of the few major cities of Weirn which stands not as a primary defense against the Horimir but as a hub for all the cities to remain connected. Its position further south of the Orimmir mountains put it in a prime location to connect all the other cities together through basic roads and provide support to them from its large farmlands. Over time, Vernthouth became in the main connection of the Kings of Weirn to the Southern Kingdom, many travellers first entering Weirn through its gates to travel beyond. Even then, the Southern Kingdoms gladly traded with Weirn through Vernthouth and the desire for the minerals and gems of the otherwise untouched Orimmir mountains has cause a rise in mines being built from foreign sources, with the approval of the Kings of course.

Despite all this, none should ever forget that Vernthouth is a city of Weirn and seat of one of its leaders. All in Vernthouth old enough to hold a sword or bow have been trained with, though few face battle, as a deterrent to the Southern Kingdoms and a fighting force against the Horimir should some make it south of the mountains. Its military is also one of the few forces solely dedicated to tracking down Horimir bands in the land of Weirn rather than stopping them at the mountains. However, Vernthouth has been in troubled times after the death of its king and his son, leaving Queen Relia to rule as regent. Though many are willing to follow the Queen, there has been much competition and even subversive actions against those in line to become King. Few remain among the ranks of Vernthouth’s military with a headcount high enough to become King, fewer even willing to follow those who sit at the top.

Haev

Haev

Of all the cities of Weirn, Haev is by far one of the most isolated yet most important of its lands, both for the fish it provides and the iron it mines from Orimmir. The Southern Kingdoms best know Haev as the City of Iron, a city whose primary function has long been as smiths for the armies of Weirn. Few of the Kings dared to delve into the ancient Orimmir Mountains -their imposing heights creating many superstitions still held to this day- however King Yulis Haev was the first to send his men into the Mountains after the First Great War. It was Yulis who found its rich iron deposits and even delved far enough to find silver and gold to help in trade with the Southern Kingdoms. It was Yulis who began to offer his resources to the other Kings of Weirn.

Haev has since grown, its isolation from its brother and sister cities of Weirn lending to their drive to fortify their position. Though Haev has seen less fighting than the other cities, they have been consistently pressured by the Southern Kingdoms to provide their services, of no cost of course. Even in the early years Haev had to deal with multiple attempts to be infiltrated or sabotaged by the greed of the Southerners yet none have succeeded.

Ioria

What is better than the rolling hills of Ioria, the green pastures and beautiful scenes which have struck many with muses. Great artists tell of Ioria as a land as wondrous as a beautiful woman, though personally it is probably more like a beautiful bit of land but still. Here the Kings rule themselves and war teeters on the edge of everyone’s minds, the Imperium and Eroammir always at each other’s throats. Still, it is where many of the realms call home.

Ioria is a land of plains and forests, its lands rarely broken by rocky outcroppings one might make for mountains were it not for the looming presence of the Ghenna Mountains in the far distance. Many of the people of this world call Ioria home, its vast lands inhabited my numerous races. Most unique of all, however, may be the presence of the three great powers of Ioria: Keirous, the Imperium, and Eroammir. While there are various other, smaller, lands scattered throughout Ioria, many are aware that the three could crush them in an instant if they so wished.

However long has the Imperium and Eroammir been at each other’s throats allowing for various other nations to rise in power and take control of what lands they two had not claimed. The ever present and mysterious Keirous, however, has become an ever looming threat for both as rumors spread of their growing strength from beyond the Aouril plains.

Kingdom of Eroammir

Eroammir, the First Kingdom of Man. The very name has long reminded others of its great conquests, of the wars which allowed it to become the power in Ioria it is now. In the First Era which marked man’s arrival in Ioria and Weirn, Eroammir was nothing but a few united tribes on the Emerald Coast. Few ever thought they would rise to glory, few ever thought they would stand with the Imperium. Under the unity of Eroammir and his sons, the Kingdom prospered, slowly gaining land and alliances.

It is now in the Fourth Era and Eroammir is one of the three most powerful Kingdoms in all of Ioria, its lands stretching along the Emerald coast and to the Ghenna mountains. Its people do not fear famine or war as they sit in peace, a peace long held by their treaty with the Imperium. However, its lands are not as glorious as they may seem.

Inside some of the largest cities its citizens cheer for the bloodsports which fuels their country, their slaves and criminals fighting for a chance at freedom. There is no glory in the combat, no winner as many more may die the next fight who were so close to freedom. Even a single mistake can send one to the Pits, a single stolen loaf more than enough to end a being’s life.

Their bloodsports may attract many however there are few who fail to recognize the craftsmen of Eroammir; the many men and women who toil for hours to create works of art which people yearn for all across the continent. Even their blacksmiths are nothing to turn one’s nose at, some nearly as skilled as those who practice in Haev.

All the glories which have come from Eroammir, however, cannot keep the tensions with the Imperium from rising. Even as King Emir continues his talks with the Elves in his growing age, his own son seeks to undermine him. Rumors float from village to village of skirmishes along the Ghenna mountains, the neutral zone for the two empires, and souring attitudes towards the Imperium. Some say that Prince Emil seeks war simply for the taste of battle, some say he desires the knowledge so hoarded by the Imperium. What is known, however, is that war may be brewing for the two.

The Imperium of Ashae

Before the First Era war racked the lands of Ioria; the Elves fighting themselves and eventually fighting even the Humans as they descended upon the lands. The lawless times have allowed for much of early history to be forgotten, burned in the near constant raids the cities and tribes performed. Despite this, however, it is well understood that an ancient figure of the Imperium rose from the chaos, Queen Ashae. Queen Ashae was the first of the Elves to propose unity, to form the Imperium and rule it in face of the Human hordes. Though she was met with resistance, the Imperium was eventually formed and the dissenters placated with promises of land, glory, or wealth.

From its earliest history the Imperium has sought nothing but to bring ‘order’ to Ioria, the lands that the Elves have long believed their right. It war and battles with the Humans and, eventually, the Kingdom of Eroammir has long been waged under this belief. The battles, however, have long since devolved into stalemates or been quashed by higher ups, fearing disrupting the trade which has flourished between the two Kingdoms. In fact, it is rather common to find small Lords in the Imperium raiding Eroammir more as fun rather than any actual attempt to quash the human growth on Ioria.

The relative peace between the Imperium and Eroammir is much believed to have sprung from the arenas of Eroammir, the glory of the blood sports serving stave off both nobles and commoners bloodlust. From this mutual enjoyment, however, has sprung a trade of people between the Imperium and Eroammir, the former offering its criminals as combatants.

There are, however, a sect of Elvish nobles who find the trade disgusting and treason as selling off their own to the very same people their nation was built to exterminate has soured many relations in the Imperium. No trade deal or sum of money has removed the black mark of what some Lords of the Imperium consider a defeat at the hands of the human, having been forced into a treaty for the sake of their own stability. Some believe that now is the time that they must strike, now is the time that must rid Ioria of the Humans and achieve their birthright.

Keirous

Far beyond the reach of both the Imperium and Eroammir sits the mysterious lands of Keirous, its people flourishing even in light of the wars in Ioria. Beyond the Aouril plains to the south of Eroammir and the Imperium stretches the Maw, the only known boundary to Keirous and a massive ravine that spans near the entire of Ioria’s southern stretch. Keirous uses the Maw as a natural line of defence against any who wish to enter its lands, peaceful or not.

Much of Keirous’ nature is a mystery even to those few who have been to the nation for few places allowed to outsiders and little information let slip through closed mouths. What has been gatherd, however, paints Keirous as a place more diverse and… unnatural to the rest of Ioria. Only in Keirous is each of its races represented by their own officials, only in Keirous do the officials vote on laws and legislation. Only in Keirous are all races welcomed.

It should not be mistake that all races are treated equally in Keirous, however, for there are many tensions between the races. Rather than splitting in their unions, however, the people of Keirous settle disputes in skirmishes against each other, Tribe versus tribe, lord versus lord, it matters not who dies and who fights as long as they agree their disputes settle as a result. As such Keirous seems to be a lawless land where little care is given towards criminals and even less towards actual disputes.

Rather, the few allowed inside of Keirous have found that it is less a nation and more a loose unity of city states and tribes, all agreeing to avoid all out war with each other for undefined reasons. Even then, however, its people are free to live as they so wish and even the Orsiri have been found to be more civilized in Keirous.

Most peculiar of all, however, is the whispers of a land beyond Keirous, a desert so vast that none have survived the expeditions into it. Some believe foul creatures of an ancient time roam the desert, large stone beings which seem to move and think of their own volition. Whatever lies beyond Keirous, however, is unknown as no outsider has even been allowed to tra

Leaves on the Wind

”Well, that would depend on your definition of ‘tasty’,” Nara said as she looked over at Iva, ”I doubt there are much more than animals for you to eat around here but that should be enough. Better than heading back to that village for a night time snack.” Nara fell silent quickly, closing her eyes and focusing on feeling the forest around them. This ability had barely gotten use in Yggdrasil, more useful for detecting ambushes and stealth than anything else but its function wasn’t quite how she remembered it to be. Truly Nature Sense allowed her to feel the forest and almost become one with it. The wind through the trees, the light step of animals in the forest; she could feel it all.

The tendrils of her mind spread through the forest and Nara quickly realized that it wasn’t quite what she had imagined. As she went further away, the senses dulled and came slower to her, the details muddled over the distance. She didn’t have much range to Nature Sense, at least not without honing it more and developing her control over it. However, she had neither the time nor the patience to do such training, Iva was hungry after all and it was better not to wait.

There were surprisingly many creatures in the area, though most of them were small and barely worth their time. A few deer were certainly a decent meal, for Iva at least. ”There are a few deer nearby, that should be a decent meal at least,” Nara pointed a bit off into the forest before continuing, ”At least a mile away in that direction. We should make their deaths quick. And consume all that you can, Nature doesn’t like waste.”

The Start

Nara stood silently as Kessig left, only approving of his actions due to the help he had given them. If she were a nicer person, she may have been willing to grant them a bountiful harvest or even share a small bit of her knowledge with them so that they may never suffer from a poor harvest. Perhaps such knowledge was too much for those so low as the people in the village, barely able to eek out a niche in the forest yet seemingly unwilling to leave. It would be unfit to show such lowly humans the ways of Nature. However, Nara’s train of thought was interrupted as two figures appeared down from where she and Iva had come from.

Little time was spent looking over the pair descending the mountain as Iva spoke to her, Nara nodding in response and leading her in the direction Kessig had mentioned. ”Do you think they are like us,” Nara said as they walked away, ”We might not be alone in this world if the two of us got here.” Nara glanced back towards the pair and then at Iva. If they weren’t alone then that posed an issue. On one hand that meant that they would have plenty of people to bounce ideas off of as to what to do in this world. However, if they were hostile then it would be quite possible to die, not like in a game but actually be killed.

”We’ll have to find something for you to eat later. I don’t think we should try anything with those two nearby. As far as they are concerned, we are just regular creatures of this world. Hell, you are more human than I am in that form.” She nudged Iva slightly and chuckled at her. It would be quite an issue if they didn’t reveal themselves on their own terms, even more so if that pair had an issue with Iva’s eating.

Nara took a moment to breathe at the edge of the village and focus, her minding bending outwards to feel the forest. Unlike on the mountain, the forest around Jhorm felt more alive, the creatures here hadn’t been as affected by the psychic screech. This skill was odd to her, not something she had ever read about being able to do in Yggdrasil. Perhaps it was something new that came with their new reality. Other way, it was comforting and, at the same time, unsettling. ”I think I’m going to like it here, missing finals and graduation aside.”

The forest was silent all throughout the pair’s trek towards Jhorm, no sound of birds nor sighting of fleeting animal life. It was as if the forest itself had been totally drained of life and all that remained was its frozen remains. Even as Nara reached out with her senses to feel Nature, she found nothing more than the trees and a few distant pulses of birds flying overhead. Before the shriek had pierced her mind Nara had never thought as to use her druidic powers to feel the world around. She had been unguarded and mentally shaken afterwards but with it came the realization that she is no longer in a game, her powers are that of a Druid and she must act like it.

Though, even as she tested her abilities she noted that her connection to this natural world was minor compared to what it could be; perhaps a side effect of being so new to it. Nara’s mind was not sharp enough in this world to completely sense everything around her it came in pulses. However, her attempts to understand this feature had to be put on hold as the advanced down the mountains. Her focus was put towards their movement into the boundaries of Jhorm, the forest thinning as the few buildings stood in the clearing. There seemed to be few people in this town, only two people in the near barren fields and a bandaged man who approached them.

It took Nara a minute to take in the sight of the ‘village’ if it could even be called that and answer the man’s question. ”I am Nara and this is my friend Iva,” Nara said with a motion and minor bow to the man, ”We come from the forest above and were motioned here by a troll after we mistakenly wandered into its territory. We came here hoping you could tell us about this region or, by chance, point us in the direction of someone who could.” Though Nara’s voice conveyed an inherent friendliness, even being so kind as to bow the man during her statement, her face betrayed that it was all merely formality. It was quite possible that the man would view a couple of strangers wondering into the town in what seemed to be the middle of nowhere. While they could no doubt get information from him another way, Nara rather wished to not force it out.

However, Nara’s brief pause in thought was interrupted as she realized that, perhaps, they too had felt the shriek from the mountains or at least seen the fleeing wildlife. ”Also, did you by chance hear a monster’s shriek? If so, do you know what creature would make such a noise that could cause even a troll to run in terror? I wish to know what being could make a forest totally barren with such little effort.” Nara’s voice was less friendly than before and her expression more serious as she looked up at the man. Hopefully he knew what creature could perform such a strong mental attack that not even Iva was able to fully withstand it.

Connection

@Rune_Alchemist@BurningDaisies

Even as the troll answered Nara’s question, there grew a mild annoyance in the back of her mind that she had to wait for his responses. The mention of the human village, Jhorm, and that their current location was a place called Devil’s Spine simply confused her. There were no such places in Yggdrasil and it was unlikely that they had somehow changed during their shift to their new reality. However, before she could even mark notice of the foreign names or even the mention of the ‘Grendel’, Nara felt the wind shift and the forest itself emanate fear. Whatever was coming was coming quick and gave Nara no time to ready a resistance.

The very world itself seemed to shrink away as a ripple spread through her body; a crippling pain arching through her in the process. Her vision narrowed and she fell to her knees even as the horrid sound trailed off into silence. Though her existence in the land had been short, Nara could tell that her connection to Nature had already begun once again as the forest ‘spoke’ to her. Through it she felt the residual echoes of the whine; the innate fear that the creatures in the forest had felt, even the death of a couple who acted on the fear and killed each other. Nara had failed to steel her mind and the effects of it took her more than few minutes to shake off.

Even as Iva nudged her, Nara barely moved as her body felt burdened by the effects of the mental attack. ”I- I’ll be fine. That… fucking whatever caused that is not something the forest likes. I can feel the fear that it caused… several times over from the few creatures near here. We need to go,” Nara looked up at Iva and stood slowly, using her friend as a crutch in the process. Their only options were to head towards the human village, Jhorm, and hope there was some semblance of safety there. Though, Nara heavily doubted it considering the way she looked.

”We should head for Jhorm just at that troll said. Find out more about this place, about whatever the fuck caused that. More importantly I feel we should get as far away from here as possible,” Nara paused as she looked at her friend and then her own hands, ”Though I might not be welcome there considering how I am now.” It was strange that Nara had so easily come to terms with the way she was though she had a nagging feeling that it wouldn't’t quite be the same as in Yggdrasil. One couldn’t just walk into a village anymore as green creature and expect to be given a quest.
