- | The other side of the planet has never seen the light of day. Any liquid freezes within seconds and any unprotected flesh will be frostbitten in seconds, with death soon following. Any attempts to reach this pole by ground and air transport have been foiled, the extreme temperature quickly freezing fuel or coolant. | + | |

- | On the cooler side, it is always dusk, the sun isn't visible but its light still brightens the sky. The mountainous regions of Ormroth dominate the western side of the band. The average temperature is around 10C (50F). This mountainous region features small lava flows, rockslides, massive waterfalls, | + | |

- | Every month, there is a lull in the storm, usually when the both moons are directly overhead the band. Though the storm does not completely disappear, the wind does slow down enough to allow actual exploration and crossing of the band on the surface. No Raiken live here permanently. | + | |

- | ==== Map ==== | + | |
- | + | ||
- | (Make a Map!) | + | |
- | + | ||
- | ==== Cities ==== | + | |
- | + | ||
- | There are five very distinct areas on Ranil' | + | |
- | + | ||
- | === | + | |
- | + | ||
- | The Relatir keep is nestled into the base of a dormant volcano, Esir Tun, with its surrounding city encircling the volcano. Several small lava flows provide heating to the city and allow liquid water to stand. Technological innovation have made it much easier for the Relatir, providing more efficient ways to heat their homes and produce food. | + | |
- | + | ||
- | The structures of the city are not very tall, the chill of the air discourages tall structures. Instead, the Relatir have grown around the volcano and in many cases, up and into it. Essential buildings are built inside the volcano itself, carefully constructed to not disturb the various lava flows. While it is frighteningly cold out in the wastes, it is rather cozy inside the structures within Esir Tun. | + | |
- | + | ||
- | Terraces have been built up the sides of the volcano, going as far as to have a terrace at the very top, overlooking the magma pit below. Structures tend to be built out of stone, rather than metal. | + | |
- | + | ||
- | === Darami | + | |
- | + | ||
- | The Ormroth keep is built very high up, where the air is quite thin. The Ormroth are used to thin air, though it takes some getting used to for visitors. From the outside, the Ormroth keep doesn' | + | |
- | + | ||
- | Most of the keep and the city is built inside of the mountain. Vast halls and chasms where the bottoms are lost in darkness are a common feature in this mountain city. Glowing rocks provide most of the lighting in Darami Ormroth. Darami Ormroth is like one massive art museum, with beautiful sculptures and engravings everywhere. | + | |
- | + | ||
- | Higher up the mountain city are the monasteries of the mountain sages. In these elite places of learning and personal reflection, the wisest of all Raiken reside. As a student masters the teachings, they are slowly moved up the mountain until they reach the final monastery at the mountain' | + | |
- | + | ||
- | === Darami | + | |
- | + | ||
- | The Rakavasu live along the cliffs of the Arri Siasu, a fast flowing river at the bottom of a deep gorge. Their keep is built near the bottom of the gorge, at the head of a tall waterfall, where it spans bank to bank. Multiple bridges span the river near the keep, many more bridges span the gorge further up the river. When viewed from above, one can see the beautiful and meticulously kept garden at the center of the keep. The Rakavasu have constructed a mechanism that slows the rivers flow before it enters the garden, creating an enchanting garden full of flora. | + | |
- | + | ||
- | Along the banks heading into the city, tunnels open to the riverside have been created, with the history of Rakavasu carved onto the rock. Battles, heroes, discoveries, | + | |
- | + | ||
- | Further up the river, the city begins. Structures are built from the bank of the river all the way to the top of the gorge. Farmlands take up the flat areas around the top Arri Siasu, producing plenty of exotic fruits. Bridges and walkways criss-cross the gorge every which way, connecting everything to everything else. | + | |
- | + | ||
- | === Darami Delrasu | + | |
- | + | ||
- | The Delrasu live on an peninsula surrounded by lava flows. From their keep atop the slowly rising peninsula, the Delrasu can see the volcanic terrain around them for miles. It provides an awe-inspiring view, but also provides the advantage to see any approaching forces. Small paths lead down the cliff to a viewing and sparring platform that juts out over the lava. The banks of the cliff are thick with volcanic ash, paths dug into the cliffside lead down to the banks for collecting this natural fertilizer. | + | |
- | + | ||
- | Terraces dot the cliffside, structures and farmland clinging onto the rock. Water flows from the top of the cliffs, filling irrigation canals with ice cold water. By the time it reaches the crops, the heat from the lava has heated the water to a suitable temperature. | + | |
- | + | ||
- | The peninsula itself has a tiered city, every few rows of structures divided by a might stone wall with fortifications atop it. By the time the city reaches the base of the peninsula, it is a sprawling metropolis, with hundreds of acres of carefully placed farmlands. Sections of the city have free standing magma pools, where ornate shrines to the gods stand. The most impressive structure in the city is a hundred foot-tall obelisk made of solid onyx. Engraved on the sides, from bottom to top, is the entire Raiken book of faith. | + | |
- | + | ||
- | === Darami | + | |
- | + | ||
- | The Slevexa keep is located deep in the scorching desert. In the old days, one wouldn' | + | |
- | + | ||
- | The actual city is built around the far bank, where multitudes of irrigation canals bring water into the city, supplying the inhabitants with fresh water. The structures are relatively short and fill in the massive space offered by the sandstone plateau. Where the two tips of the crescent end, Slevexa have constructed a wall about half as tall as the plateau itself, guarding this paradise from all who would dare take it. | + | |
- | + | ||
- | === Sial' | + | |
- | + | ||
- | Sial' | + | |
- | + | ||
- | Around the government keep are the many, many, embassies of all the Raiken clans. The largest and most well adorned ones are from the Resa Sarhi, the five elder clans. These embassies are guarded with the clan's own guards, instead of Alliance soldiers. | + | |
- | + | ||
- | Past the embassies are the living and commercial areas of the city. This part of the megalopolis is spans for miles, though there are swathes of green everywhere. Many minor clans set up their keeps here, unable to sustain themselves in the wilds. | + | |
- | + | ||
- | On the fringes of the city are spaceports, factories, and massive farms. | + | |

Being invited here is one of the highest honors any individual may receive. In addition to being the seat of wisdom, this monastery contains the most extensive scholarly library ever known, containing hundreds of thousands of volumes ranging across all subjects. It is also a simply astounding structure, built in ancient times and modified very little since then. | + | |

==== Transportation ==== | ==== Transportation ==== | ||
- | The Raiken have an extensive road, tunnel, and bridge system stretching across their world, though they are careful to preserve the beauty of their planet, respectful of its power. Most Raiken abide by an age old tradition of riding a predator animal. This tradition typically only applies to personal transport. These animals are hardy, usually fast, and immensely dangerous to anyone the rider does not like. Mechanized | + | The Raiken have an extensive |
