Cel Tonna

Cel Tonna is a picturesque vacation destination located on the edge of a floating landmass of the magical nexus planet Rococo, located in Symphony

Records & Information

Cel Tonna was initially founded as an ambient magical energy collection colony, taking liquid out of the nexus-rich air (Hakokom) through condensers. But, through the course of The Old War, Cel Tonna's supply of food (being a colony with no farming capabilities of its own) was cut off and the residents resorted to cannibalism through lottery. Once the war concluded, the colony continued the practice of sapient consumption though quickly refining the process - and with the rising Hekate's help, grew to become a popular retreat and destination for illicit acts.

Notable People/Groups

The following player character and non-player characters are natives of Noir:

Phenomena

Given Rococo's nature as a nexus world, the magical phenomenae is wild and rampant. The spellweavers and architects of the city have done their damnedest to protect it with layers upon layers of protective and structural enhancements and wards, but things still get through constantly.

Economy

Cel Tonna's economy is fueled by a massive tourist population from locales that outlaw sapient consumption, tied with magical innovation that sees Hekate's and other companies investments well placed. And, most importantly, many wealthy patrons come to take advantage of Cel Tonna's many, many amenities.

Common Occupations

The following occupations are synonymous with Cel Tonna's residents.

Name Type Description Relative Wealth Notes

Magical Girl Defense Magical Girls are civil servants, and are treated very well benefits wise due to their very important contributions to Cel Tonna's health and well-being. That being said, the job is incredibly dangerous and more than a little cutthroat internally. [ Moderate

Artificer Artisan/Manufacturing Being a very magical city, artifice exists in many forms. Of course, as there are so many, unless one is directly employed by one of the economic powerhouses, an artificer is liable to keep their craft a side-job. Likely low, moderate if employed.

Aesthetics

Transportation and Mass Transit

Cel Tonna doesn't have much by way of cars and has two primary methods of transit beyond the well-designed sidewalks for foot traffic - gondolas and palanquins. The Gondola system in Cel tonna consists of two central loops of massive moving platforms that plateau at each layer before ascending/descending slowly, and then moving to the opposite incline once they reach the top/bottom. They never stop moving, but they don't move faster than a crawl in the loading areas so boarding is easy. Palanquins on the other hand are meant for travel in the streets - magically levitating boxes a far cry from their namesake. They take advantage of wonderFLOW's conduit network to power.

Districts and Neighbourhoods

:!: For GMs Each neighbourhood and their locations can serve as plot hooks for adventures and other roleplaying.
Let these prompts be your starting points, and diversify from there.

Malachite Layer

The Malachite layer is the most heavily skewed towards travel and import/export businesses out of all the layers, but there is still plenty to see and do.Also is the much less scenic residential areas buried within.

Starport Lane

While this is called “starport lane” it's more of a generic name for most of Cel Tonna's shipping. Also here are many import/export businesses.

The Matrix Opal District

The literal shadiest area of Cel Tonna, the Matrix-Opal District is anything but. Enchantments on all the cave-like ceilings of the area constantly broadcast daylight or nighttime or even a wild celestial effect depending on what the council had scheduled.

The Mines

The Mines are the heavily residential district of Cel Tonna - buried further into the shelf leading into the floating landform.

Mellylow Waterway

Sprawling, spacious waterway found beneath the Malachite layer, provides high flow water supplies to some of the industry on the layer as well as the various ports. Home to a community as well as a thieves' network.

Labradorite Layer

The middle layer of Cel Tonna, it functions as the unofficial heart of the city seeing large amounts of traffic from both the Malachite Layer and the Red Beryl Layer. The layer is largely populated by service, specialty, and local craft shops interspersed throughout with shopping centers for more general purchases.

The Azure Edge

The leading edge of the layer hanging over the Malachite layer below, it is famous for its many waterfalls, beautiful parks, and landmarks popularized as lovers' hotspots. Almost all traffic moving up from the Malachite Layer passes through the Azure Edge, as such the property value is heavily inflated as business owners and residents struggle over the coveted property.

Topaz Plaza

Located almost dead center along the edge of the Labradorite Layer, the shinning golden plaza dominated by a breathtakingly complex fountain is the place to be for entertainment, passion, and pleasure. The plaza features some of the most expensive, and comprehensive luxury services in all of Cel Tonna with an almost boastful guarantee that they have whatever it is you are looking for.

Aergystal Waterway

Extensive and surprisingly extravagant waterway which has expanded across the entirity of the Labradorite layer providing both freshwater and sewer services to the layer. Given the magical nature of the city, many of these services are considered redundant by the populace, however it is still expanded and maintained by the city council.

Red Beryl Layer

The highest layer of Cel Tonna.

Weaver's Respite

Hekate's local corporate HQ and associated territory.

Tanzanite Hearth

This is where all government conduct is performed, including councilary meatings.

The Veins

The subject of many myths, fables, stories, rumors, and ficiton novels, The Veins, officially known as the Bloodstone Conduit, are a series of extremely well maintained and meticulously guarded waterways that snake beneath the surface of the Red Beryl Layer. They have captured the imagination of thousands who wonder just what happens beneath the streets walked by the wealthy.
