SETTING

The setting page will be updated as the game continues and locations are added and fleshed out in response to players. Currently it contains the base game location that will be started with.

THE NAMELESS CITY

The Nameless City is a still growing mid-sized city located in the world of Erato on the continent of Aoede. Once a small seaside village known as the Nameless Village, the Nameless City grew in size as more and more Branded appeared. Some Branded have left the City, but many stay in the area due to the need to be around other Branded to appease their brands. Due to the unusual level of world-travelers in the Nameless City, characters will note that beyond the strange fusion of fantasy and modern architecture, there are splashes here and there of architecture they may recognize from their own home worlds.

The portside city is much larger now than it used to be. Most of the stone is white and gray, the portion of the City that was once a Village looking much older while the City spreads out into something much more modern. Most of the residents are Branded, but Unbranded frequently visit and there's a sizable population that lives there.

The City isn't beholden to any particular Kingdom or State but instead operates as a sort of independent City-State. It's run by a Council of elected representatives that change out every year, typically made up of various guild members, merchants, and simply well-liked citizens. The Council concerns themselves with keeping the City in good order but don't seem particularly interested in micromanaging new arrivals. They're friendly, but not overly so. Characters will be given initial help to find their footing but then most of the City populace will expect them to make their own way, whatever they might choose that to be.

The center of the City is a large sprawling plaza with a beautiful fountain and many trees surrounded by shopfronts. From there, the City isn't as organized and well-laid out as something planned far in advance would be. Additions and new neighborhoods have sprung up out of need and whimsy over the decades and it can be easy to get lost in twisting alleys. Luckily there isn't too much crime, though there is some.

THE ENDLESS SEA

The Endless Sea isn't actually endless but it stretches far into the horizon off to the east. Ships are frequently coming by the port from other lands. Most are traders or travelers stopping by but some are tourists wishing to meet the Branded.

The Sea is saltwater and a colder ocean - no ice visible, but not what you'd want to take a dip in on anything other than a hot day. The beaches are rather rocky and rather large and strangely colored crabs can be found inhabiting the area. Fish, when visible, also seem much larger than some Branded may be used to.

THE SKYREALM MOUNTAINS

The mountain range to the west of the Nameless City only has one safe passage that freezes over in the winter months. Heavily forested, wildlife both mundane and magical can be found within - deer, for example, although somehow thinner and with oddly colored fur, but also the occasional wyvern or imp.
