   * [[character:garim_delrasu_oathbinder|]] - An elderly Raiken Oathbinder who works as the Head of Diplomatic Relations for the Raiconian Alliance. Stocky, maroon scaled, and more than capable of handling himself despite using a walking stick, Garim fervently believes that agreements like the Tiam vi Raiken can be made with other races; an opinion not shared by many of his kin. When he's not working, he is frequently found amongst his kin, partaking in drink and song.    * [[character:garim_delrasu_oathbinder|]] - An elderly Raiken Oathbinder who works as the Head of Diplomatic Relations for the Raiconian Alliance.

-**"We been fightin' for as long as anyone can remember and I did my fair share, so don't think me soft. But you damned younglings, scales bright and fists tight, thinkin' that's what it means to be Raiken, That's all wrong. Roshya and Surrai, praised as they are, taught us better than that. So yeah, I think this whole 'talking' thing can work out. And if it doesn't? So be it! Another fight for the storytellers!"**+//**"We been fightin' for as long as anyone can remember and I did my fair share, so don't think me soft.

   * [[character:sayril_relatir_of_the_silent_vigil|]] - Stoic and scornful, Sayril is Garim's assigned bodyguard, despite her objections to the matter. She doesn't care for outsiders or potential peace with them, like most of the staunch traditionalists within the Alliance. She can be found at Garim's side most of the time, a hand always on her weapon. She doesn't technically have any political power, but being Garim's bodyguard holds some sway.   * [[character:sayril_relatir_of_the_silent_vigil|]] - Stoic and scornful, Sayril is Garim's assigned bodyguard, despite her objections to the matter.

-**"Yes, he is my charge. No, I don't agree with him. Dralu, Carnin, Rorin. What difference does it make? They couldn't stand against our might. Why should we offer these new outsiders a different fate? I'll keep to my duty, but I'll be the first to draw my blade when this falls through."**+//**"Yes, he is my charge.

     * **Imvia'Roshya System Council** - Like any other Alliance controlled system, Imvia'roshya has a Zurak Shai charged with maintaining the Imvia'roshya Star System as a whole. This council resides in Aeras Daramai. It is the highest issuing authority in the system, outranked only by the Nacur Shai based on [[planet:ranil_inas|]]. Typically, the council refrains from making public appearances. It has a 5/8 (5 Resa Sarhi members, 8 other clan members) balance, unlike most councils.     * **Imvia'Roshya System Council** - Like any other Alliance controlled system, Imvia'roshya has a Zurak Shai charged with maintaining the Imvia'roshya Star System as a whole.

-    * **Azalis Yaroth Steelcoat ** - +    * **Azalis Yaroth Steelcoat ** - Steel-scaled as her name suggests, Azalis is the resident commander of Protectors of the Alliance forces for the city and the planet itself. She typically remains within Alliance headquarters on Keep Isle, buried in paperwork, much to her displeasure. When she does find time to leave her office, it is typically to greet important individuals arriving at the city or to provide personal command to military operations within the city. Short, stocky, and reliable, this Ormroth native is still a capable fighter. 
-  * **Business People** - While the Raiken do not have a currency, business is still prevalent, primarily on the shadier end in the Underland. +//** "I get twenty reports every ten minutes. If I had time to hear you complain, I wouldn't be here to hear it. So, unless you have something important to say, close the door on your way out and try not to catch your tail." **// 
-    * **Sulvai Slevexa Coincounter** - + 
-    * **Izik** - A dirty yellow-scaled Dralu in charge of the Black Market on Riverside. Perpetually drunk, generally unpleasant, and far from polite, Izik is still the person to see to get anything under the sun for a cost. Oddly enough, he owes just about everyone some amount of money from gambling debt. +**Business People** - While the Raiken do not have a currency, business is still prevalent, primarily on the shadier end in the Underland. 
-**"Yous didn't come lookin fers ol' Izik with pouches o' gold fer nuthin. So, tells me straight, whats you wants?"** +    * **Sulvai Slevexa Coincounter** - While the Raiken don't use currency themselves, Sulvai is a pioneer in attempting to utilize outsider currency, with promising results. Tall, wiry, and brown-scaled like most Slevexans, Sulvai can usually be found around the entrances to the Grand Bazaaar. He is charged with keeping an eye on the dealings and trade across the isles, mainly ensuring illegal goods are kept out. 
-    * **Dockmaster** - +//** "Y'know, these outsiders might be on to something. Why trade grain for timber when you can trade it for this 'money' instead? Trade for whatever you want with it, no hassle! Do me a favor and don't tell the chief I said that." **//

 +    * **Irvanik Oro Stonejaw** - A lumbering Ormroth native, with a rocky jaw matching his namesake, Irvanik is responsible for keeping the docks in order. A Raiken of few words and unwavering calm, Irvanik deals with all manner of requests from Alliance and visiting ships alike. 
 +//** "Sit. Ask again without shouting. It's a long fall off my docks." **// 
 + 
 +**Celebrities** - Individuals or groups known for their entertainment. For the Raiken, this typically means storytellers or champions.

     * **Resa Sarhi** - The five eldest, largest, and most powerful Raiken clans: Relatir, Ormroth, Rakavasu, Slevexa, and Delrasu, all have a presence on Aeras Daramai. It is a well-known fact in the Alliance that the Resa Sarhi control the vast majority of the government and all the power that entails. The five Resa Sarhi have varying degrees of willingness to work with other races. While outsiders are not normally permitted to visit clan keeps situated in Aeras Daramai, it is never hard to find a representative of the Resa Sarhi to speak to.     * **Resa Sarhi** - The five eldest, largest, and most powerful Raiken clans: Relatir, Ormroth, Rakavasu, Slevexa, and Delrasu, all have a presence on Aeras Daramai.

     * **Crystal Collective** - The resident Rorin Collective on Aeras Daramai. Like most Collectives, they care little for the opinions or thoughts of other races. Instead, they focus on study and research, most notably on the humming crystals embedded within Aeras Daramai's crust. While the Raiken dislike them for their physical weakness and prideful nature regarding science, they are still free to wander and speak to other races.     * **Crystal Collective** - The resident Rorin Collective on Aeras Daramai.

 ==== Economy ==== ==== Economy ====
 +
 +Although Aeras Daramai is a designated meeting ground for working with other races and nations, it still adheres to the Alliance's standard system with some reworking since the clans are not as prevalent. The Alliance enforces a strict command economy with no currency nor wage. All citizens of the Alliance work for the betterment of everyone. While technically they work without pay, everything in the Alliance is free for those who work. 
 +
 +Individuals looking to obtain any item other than food, water, and shelter, which is always available, must requisition it with Alliance supply depots. Bare necessities can be obtained by any citizen or authorized visitor by visiting any of the massive feasting halls that the Alliance maintains, where food and somewhere to sleep is always available, free of charge. Other items may be requisitioned at Alliance supply offices and will be provided if available to citizens or authorized visitors, although 'rarer' or more 'valuable' items may be restricted to those with proper requisition paperwork.
 +
 +=== Occupations ===
 +
 +Like any other Alliance city, occupations cover every facet of life, although only Alliance citizens are permitted to work. Visitors are seldom permitted to work within Alliance territory, if at all. Aeras Daramai features approximately the same distribution as any other city, with construction workers, cleaning personnel, supply officials, Protectors of the Alliance peacekeepers and soldiers, entertainers, shipwrights, feastmasters and their staff, and countless others. Perhaps the only real oddity of Aeras Daramai are the traders within the Bazaar, who deal with larger scale trades than the requisition system permits for individuals.
  
 ==== Aesthetics ==== ==== Aesthetics ====
 +
 +Aeras Daramai shares much of its appearance with the Alliance capital, Sial'roshya. Rather than traditional stone and wood architecture laden with art, Alliance buildings are generally constructed of metal and adopt a 'blocky' look. Even the tallest buildings are rarely over three-four stories. Decorations are limited to designated areas, such as parks or other places of recreation. However, these recreational areas are rich with statuary and grand stone carvings.
 +
 +The Underland has a more 'vibrant' appearance with its mix of vassal races and Alliance construction. While most of the public buildings are Alliance made, most others bear the marks of whatever race constructed them. Raiken keeps are traditional stone fortresses. Dralu homes and markets are crowded, haphazard, and winding. Rorin communities are mostly spherical in nature, many buildings akin to a stack of bubbles, none of which have stairs. Carnin hives appear unassuming on the surface, mounds with some sizable entryways, but mask the sheer size of the hivecity below, a mess of tunnels and chambers, all teeming with Carnin.
  
 ==== Transportation ==== ==== Transportation ====
Line 54: Line 71:
 On the Isles, each island is connected to the other via wide suspension bridges. Otherwise, a simple network of paved roads allow access to most of the isles. In the interest of saving space, as the islands are not terribly large, these roads are all a single lane, with appropriate sidewalks on either side. To the Raiken, this is fitting, as most do not utilize motorized transport. In fact, motorized transport is typically only used on the isles by the Alliance to move freight or other cargo. Motor transport for single individuals is practically non-existent. As such, the usual method for navigating the isles is walking. On the Isles, each island is connected to the other via wide suspension bridges.

-However, the Alliance does utilize aircraft shuttles, for public transport or moving cargo. Each islands does have a shuttle station and these shuttles operate on a standardized time with routes. Shuttles on these schedules do make stops at the Underland.+However, the Alliance does utilize aircraft shuttles for public transport or moving cargo.

 Underland transport is much the same as Isle transport, with roads connecting the various districts and motorized transport being generally limited to Alliance use. The Underland has the same shuttle system as the Isles, with stops around the most important centers. Underland transport is much the same as Isle transport, with roads connecting the various districts and motorized transport being generally limited to Alliance use.
