-LIST ANY NATURAL OR UNNATURAL PHENOMENA, E.G. MAGICAL BULLSHIT AND PEST INFESTATIONS.+Most phenomena inside Xaimni are psionically focused.
  
   * ** The Stem ** - The Stem is Xaimni's mindscape, actively and passively maintained by the many masters of the craft. It is easy to access for any practicioner of the art, and is often used by the Grandmasters to meet and discuss the city's needs and ongoings. The Stem is also passively used to pass information throughout the city (largely news bulletins and the morning weather).   * ** The Stem ** - The Stem is Xaimni's mindscape, actively and passively maintained by the many masters of the craft.

   * ** Impressions ** - Impressions are a form of sapient Manifestation that turn up in Xaimni, usually a collated embodiment of feelings given tangible matter. Oftentimes said feelings are fighting related and they are a huge hassle to deal with, requiring a strong practicioner to beat into nonexistence.   * ** Impressions ** - Impressions are a form of sapient Manifestation that turn up in Xaimni, usually a collated embodiment of feelings given tangible matter.

-  * ** Thought Finches ** - Thought Finches are a strange form of bird, more of a pest than a serious epidemic, but they have a tendency to land on people's heads and tap into their thoughts, subsisting on their surface idea before flitting off. Due to this, they have an especially negative reputation with the creative types in the Cerrobend Petal.+  * ** Thought Finches ** - Thought Finches are a strange form of bird, more of a pest than a serious epidemic, but they have a tendency to land on people's heads and tap into their thoughts, subsisting on their surface idea before flitting off. Due to this, they have an especially negative reputation with the creative types in the Cerrobend Petal. There are some who utilize Thought Finches as a therapy animal to deal with intrusive thoughts, though the treatment must be used sparingly.
  
   * ** Surreal Event ** - A Surreal Event is a form of thought virus that occurs through the Stem. Oftentimes it is a benign thing and goes away on its own, but on occasion it turns malignant and threatens the people of Xiamni who access the Stem, and thus requires direct intervention from the maintainers.   * ** Surreal Event ** - A Surreal Event is a form of thought virus that occurs through the Stem.

 ==== Economy ==== ==== Economy ====
-BASIC TRADE INFORMATION, WHAT THE CITY SURVIVES AND THRIVES ON. CITIES ARE NOT PERPETUAL MOTION MACHINES (USUALLY) SO DESCRIBE +The city is primarily self-sufficient, utilizing farming outside the city and fishing of the nearby great lake in order to sustain its population, though a not-insignificant portion of the city's revenue come from fortune seekers or tourists trying to see the psionic arts on display.

-^  |  |  |  |  | +^ Disciple | Martial/Performance | Disciples at the temples generally forsake having an income for having room and board provided to them, and often turn outside the temple in order to earn funds beyond some basic discretionary funds for equipment. | Low |  | 
 +^ Arena Combatant | Martial/Performance | A successful combatant will find themselves living well. An unsuccessful one will see themselves only earning lunch.  | Variable |  | 
 +^ Artisan | Goods | Artisans provide a very important service to the city, often creating the wares that their clientele need on a commission basis, if not refining the goods the magic beast hunters bring back in advance. | Moderate |  | 
 +^ Apothecary | Medicine | Medicine is always at a premium in Xaimni, and a skilled pill refiner will find themselves in high demand. | High |  | 
 +^ Magic Beast Hunter | Aquisition | Fighting the wilds of Rococo is a dangerous task, one that yields excellent bounties. Much like Cel Tonna's Ley Lodge, Xaimni's huntsfolk are well rewarded for their trouble. | High |  |

-If any aesthetic notes are needed (I.E. [[wp>High-tech_architecture|Structural Expressionist]] or [[wp>Art_Nouveau|Art Noveau]] ), they go here. Paint a picture with words.+Xaimni is a city of stone and wood. Very little glass is used, and a significant amount of treated wood makes up the Petals. Much of the outskirts of the Petals have a boardwalk feel, while the main roads use brick and anything in between uses cobblestone paths. The Pistil has the most solid material, using creatively arranged stonework for its roads. Many of the buildings feature sky wells/impluvium to let in light and air, and very few buildings are above five stories. Xaimni's buildings are largely packed together tightly, with stone layers in between to aid in reducing the spread of fires. Pagodas are rare but have a presence in the city.
