Sihi: Difference between revisions

''The Great City''

Before giving way to open tracts of wilderness and farmland, the great City of Camlann exists as a ring that extends throughout each of the four main Wards of Sihi, closest to Castle Sihi's Capstone. Twelve Keeps of Camlann - enormous jutting pillars that extend through the Sky and connect to an identical Keep on the opposite side, allow for rapid transport between each of the Wards, with townships and villages clustering at the base of each Keep. Great roads and railways also cut through the pastoral scenery to join each district to one another in a vast web.

''The Mounds''

Scattered across the landscape are ancient structures dating back to time unknown on Sihi. These antiquated bunkers, depots, and access facilities are home to archaic automatons, built to help maintain our home. Dozens of strange autonomous robots, each one fulfilling a bevy of tasks required for the continued existence of life on Sihi, moving through access tunnels as old as Sihi itself below the soil, making sure our greenery remains lush, our water drinkable, and our air breathable, to name but a handful of their vital tasks. For unknown reasons, the autonomous Fey that sometimes are born out of the Unseelie Court usually reside here as well, some theorizing that they find peace among the machines.

The Spear of Light is an enormous light tube stretching from the central tower of Castle Sihi to the island in the center of the Churning Sea. The Spear illuminates acts as an artificial sun, illuminating the wards, providing for its flora, and creating a day night cycle for its inhabitants.

''The Pillars''

Located within each of the Four Wards of the Grand Cylinder are three large evenly spaced facilities that mount enormous pillars that reach from one side of Sihi's interior to the other. These pillars intersect with the Spear of light at the center of the Cylinder along Sihi's central axis. These facilities, known collectively as the Wayfortresses, allow rapid transit from one ward to another via elevator cars that run up and down the pillars and access zero-g maintenance hubs that encircle the Spear of Light.

''The Silver Road''

The Silver Road Points of Interest

Known for its lush greenery, Ariedor is the Agricultural center of Sihi producing the most foodstuffs for the rest of the station. It is not the largest town but is home to the largest farms, its location on the Varene’s Floodplain place Ariedor where the soil is the richest and best for planting and maintaining livestock.

Technically the largest town outside of Camlann, Inverness is a sprawling mass of interconnected villages, orchards, vineyards and farms at the midpoint of the Silver Road. Inverness itself can be divided into the North and South districts, and several radial neighborhoods that spread out from these central hubs collectively known as ‘The Bramble’. While much of the South District’s development is agricultural, the North District is more developed, and plays home to a number of resorts, breweries, and tourist attractions, including a popular zoo, theater district, countless pubs, and a public bath.

The Home city of the Lutrians, despite there being space in Nimuen the Lutrians preferred the moving water of the Silver road instead

''The Golden Valley''

The Golden Valley is directly spinward of the Golden Valley, a breathtakingly vast valley that encompasses the main portion of the Ward. Lake Viviane takes up nearly a quarter of the landmass of the Golden Valley's portion of the Great City of Camlann. All construction around Lake Viviane is limited to a low maximum height, to maintain the beauty and serenity of the Lake, which many believe to have some spiritual significance.
