-Albion is a terrestrial planet located in the [[territories/aleph_cluster|Aleph Cluster]]. Albion and its orbit are home to several billion people, making the majority of the Cluster's population. The predominant species is [[guide/species#humanborn|human]], but other humanoid alien species are known to intermingle and move freely through the planet.+Albion is a terrestrial planet located in the [[territories:aleph_null|Aleph Cluster]]. Albion and its orbit are home to several billion people, making the majority of the Cluster's population under the [[society/kingdom_of_albion|Kingdom of Albion]]. The predominant species is [[guide/species#humanborn|human]], but other humanoid alien species are known to intermingle and move freely through the planet.
  
 Albion is also home to the orbital object 'Null', a multi-levelled, railgun-like space elevator used for facilitating trade and travel within the Aleph Cluster and beyond. Albion's economy is highly reliant on trade, as its natural resources are on a razor's edge. Albion is also home to the orbital object 'Null', a multi-levelled, railgun-like space elevator used for facilitating trade and travel within the Aleph Cluster and beyond.

 The ruler of Regum is the de-facto King or Queen of Albion, with the ability to appoint and sack a governors with the approval of a majority of the others. This makes competition for the ruler of Regum and the rest of Albion a highly contentious and risky endeavour, with many figures vying for the position with their families, businesses, and other assets on the line to win at any cost. The ruler of Regum is the de-facto King or Queen of Albion, with the ability to appoint and sack a governors with the approval of a majority of the others.

 The cities of Wace incorporate constructions from older times seamlessly into their cities, preserving and building around archaic façades. Their general politics embrace the feudal roots of Albion's inception, with a strong reverence to the Rulership's monarchical power structure. The cities of Wace incorporate constructions from older times seamlessly into their cities, preserving and building around archaic façades.

 ==== Nalbin ==== ==== Nalbin ====
-Nalbin is a curved continent stretching along the central ocean and south-western, forming a shape broken by a sizeable strait between Nalbin's northern mass, and the south-eastern mass possessing a sunswept inland ocean in its centre. The **Grey** sector is a boreal taiga, and sleety winds in the south-western portion of the land. Its bastion of comfort amid a sea of pine forest is **York**, under a series of domes to shield it from the wind and weather.+Nalbin is a curved continent stretching along the central ocean and south-western, forming a shape broken by a sizeable strait between Nalbin's northern mass, and the south-eastern mass possessing a sunswept sea in its centre.

 Surrounding the inland sea and shot through a peninsula is the **Gold** sector, named for its beaches and vibrant ocean. Here, the city of **Pendragon** rests at the base of a long stretch of land leading into the ocean and breaking into small islands. To the west and east are the straits which separate the northern part of Nalbin from the south, home to the **Orange** sector, where a vast and sandy, rocky desert rests. Rising from the ruins of a destroyed city is **Iwerddon**, the beacon of the desert. Surrounding the inland sea and shot through a peninsula is the **Gold** sector, named for its beaches and vibrant ocean.

 Nalbin's political philosophy embodies reverence for the family unit, with traditional views. However, this is often perceived as stubbornness in the face of an ever-changing world, and there are some rumblings of a counter-culture rebellion to embrace new ideas through the continent. Nalbin's political philosophy embodies reverence for the family unit, with traditional views.

-=== Gold Sector: Pendragon ===+==== Appolyn ==== 
 +Appolyn is the continent residing between Wace and Nalbin, due south of Regum and stretching towards the southern pole. The shape of this continent is an irregular trio of distinct landmasses, separated by straits and a large basin between them. The portion closest to the equator is **Green** sector, an agricultural and industrial centre responsible for exporting food and vegetable products all over Albion. The City-State of **Caledonia** is on the northern coast, facing Regum with network of trade spaceports.
  
-=== Orange Sector: Iwerddon ===+To the southeast of Green and broken into a chain of numerous islands is the deciduous **Blue** sector, with many artificial structures connecting them together. Resting on the largest of them just off-centre is **Insulae**, overshadowing a nearby volcano. The final piece of the continent **Black** Sector is caught under the south pole of the planet, ensuring six months of light and six months of darkness each throughout the year. Its sole beacon of light in the dark months is **Longuyon**, a mining and extraction state.
  
 +People of Appolyn value action over words, embracing the self-determination of a person to live their life as they see fit. They are keen on sharing their ideas of freedom and liberty, but often find themselves mired by those who'd take advantage of it, seeing the openness and generosity as a weakness.

-=== Black Sector: Longuyon ===+===== Orbital Object 'Null' ===== 
 +Constructed atop the remains of a [[guide/transportation/sheoul|sheoul]] blast-deposit excavated from [[territories:aleph_null#thunderhead|Thunderhead]], the orbital object ‘Null’ is a hybrid electromagnetic railgun/space compression mass-driver. Colloquially known as ‘The Shooter’ by residents, its purpose is to provide extended travel throughout Aleph.
  
 +Null serves as a [[transportation/space_gate|space-gate]]: a colony, dry-dock, manufacturing and exchange location though the nature of its high sheoul deposits make it unsafe for extended stay, meaning the majority of Null is automated and those who stay usually either only do so briefly or become attuned to living there under the neurally disruptive conditions. As such those who live there are often eccentric.
