It's a good thing I wrote this up earlier...I was saving it for the OOC, but oh well... :D
THE FOUR TOWER CITIES
The Four Tower Cities are massive constructs located on opposite points of the planet. The North, South, East and West. These towers are embedded deep into the planet below. The cities are built into the tower and contain hundreds of levels.
Northern Tower: City of Ra
Southern Tower: City of Shoel
Western Towers: The Broken Spires
Eastern Tower: Pyramid of Horus
SHARDS OF ATLAIAS & LIGHT CRYSTALS
Moments before the Ocean God flooded the planet, he dispersed thousands of crystal shards that contained remnants of his power. Some of these Shards, through many various means, have ended up embedded within the survivors of Humanity, gifting them with mysterious powers and abilities. The Shards have also been ingested by some of the ocean life and have transformed them into mega evolved beings.
The remaining power was retained within the water. Even though that power was more spread out, it still had the ability to effect the minerals and creatures that live beneath the water, creating Light Crystals that can store and enhance light energy and evolve some sea life into larger beings.
SKY PIRATES
There are many different factions of Sky Pirates who fly above the Eternal Ocean using ships powered by light energy. They scour the planet, doing whatever they like and looting who ever they come across. They frequently have skirmishes against The World Navy.
THE WORLD NAVY
The World Navy is a united military force that patrols the Eternal Ocean to prevent attacks against humanity. They also organise mining operations that send unmanned drones beneath the Ocean to collect and gather valuable resources. They have several run ins with the various factions of Sky Pirates.
THE WANDERING ISLANDS
The Wandering Islands are massive, barge-like constructs that traverse the Eternal Ocean acting as mobile Port-Cities for Sky Ships and Navy Ships. There are currently four Major Cities known as: New Haven, Verdante, Jarrah & Atro. There are smaller Wandering Islands, however these are often inhabited by Sky Pirate factions.
CREATURES
Because the planet is covered in water, most, if not all of the wildlife are ocean-dwelling beings. They can range from Sea Serpents and Giant Squid to Razorback Sharks and Gigators. Most of these creatures have been altered by Shards of Atlaias but there still remain large populations of fish, eel and many other species that live beneath the waves.
TECHNOLOGY
Sky Ships are the main mode of transport. They can range from massive flying fortresses to small-scale fighter craft. They are powered by Light Crystals and are used for all manner of tasks such as trade, logistics and piracy.
Navy Ships remain under the sole ownership of The World Navy. They come heavily armed and in various sizes. There are two uncommon variants that are used for industrial purposes such as Fishing and Resource Gathering.
Weapons are separated into Swords and Cryslock Firearms.
- The swords can be Cutlasses, Rapiers, Broadswords and Greatswords and are generally made from Pig Iron, White Iron, Black Steel or Damascus Steel. (in ascending order of material quality and rarity)
- The Flintlock weapons can be Pistols, Muskets, Rifles and Blunderbusses. Each one serves a different purpose; Close-Range Accuracy, Medium-Range Accuracy, Long-Range Accuracy and Short-Range Power. These weapons all utilise specially refined Light Crystals as ammo. The mechanisms within the guns are designed to release the light energy stored within the crystals in such a way that the hardened crystal shells are propelled out of the barrel like musket shots.
