[Celeste]

Name: The Tower
Type: Landmark
Nation: Shaxia
Location in relation to other cities within nation: west of Angtu, an oasis in the Klibi Desert
History: Unknown age and unknown origin. Presumably built by Medraut, or acquired by him. At some point in his many centuries of life, Medraut established a hideaway in order to practice his sorcery away from the eyes of the royal court. Most wayward adventurers who come across the oasis tend to turn back before venturing further to find the tower blaming an unknown, foreboding presence.

Type: Other
Nation: Yuthi

[Deioces]

Name: Asani
Type: Abandoned city
Nation: Shaxia
Location in relation to other cities within nation: Border city between North Shaxia and Yuthi
History: Asani was once a bustling city with an economy generated solely from the mining of Lucrite -- a mineral used as a catalyst in old Chrono powered engines. When the Chrono engine was replaced, the mine was closed, and consequently, the local residents finding themselves unemployed, abandoned the city and spread out across Shaxia in search of work. The city has since become a ghost town, a memorial to a technological era slowly reclaimed by the lush landscape that surrounds it.

VISUAL GUIDE

Celeste’s destructive rampage (also known as the Event) has released a long-buried plague from underneath Shaxia’s soil. The subsequent spread of the plague killed all Salqanam, vegetation, and livestock, rendering all the areas it touched unlivable. The affected areas are known as the Blight.

Entering the Blight causes all Salqanam-made technology to malfunction and stop, sometimes permanently. The climate ranges from hot and arid during the day to freezing at night.

One month Post-Event (PE): scientists and officials have warned all citizens that there is no real confirmation the plague is dormant. A quarantine on the affected zones has been imposed.

What was once capital of Shaxia, Xang, is now considered Ground Zero. This is where the highest concentration of Blight can be found, which slowly peters off as the trail moves North. Though some survivors have been found in the northern Blight zones, none are known to have escaped Xang alive.

The cities of Bria, Parthas, and Irisa, Cadmira, have also felt some of the fallout. Power outages, though less frequent, are still common. Refugees fleeing the destruction have swarmed to the eastern borders of both nations; as well as the sick and injured, there are many common folk who have had to pack up and leave their homes. The crisis has sparked an emergency in both Parthas and Cadmira, as leaders of each nation are either choosing to accept the influx of refugees, or forcing them away. Parthese military troops have been dispatched to Ainem and Bria.

Yuthi appears to be relatively untouched by the Blight, as west-blowing winds have directed much of the plague into Shaxia and other western nations. However there are rumours of other strange, inexplicable, perhaps even supernatural events happening PE.

The Blight now divides Shaxia almost in half: North Shaxia, including Angtu and the Klibi Desert is now populated mostly by refugees struggling to enter Parthas and being turned away at the border. Southern Shaxia is split between separate warring factions striving to take control of Shaxia’s throne.
