ABOUT THE WORLD

Please remember that these new info threads are just for reference purposes! You don't have to read all of this. There are certain things you should read before jumping in, yes, but not all of it. If you feel you need to read up on something in particular, go ahead. And when it comes down to it, you'll know when to read certain things (for example, when we enter a new area, or when you get a new special item or something). But don't stress yourself thinking you have to read all this. I know it is A LOT to read. Don't wanna overload anyone. ^_^

The rp takes place in a world called Altan. It is a very large world (which I have worked hard and spent much time, energy, and imagination in order to create) with five main kingdoms and many smaller island nations. I won't be posting the world map on here any time soon, but I will update this post with pictures of pieces of the map as we move on to other parts of the world.

Here's what we've got of the world map so far:

We haven't even BEEN to all these places yet. But we're getting there. ^_^

Areas we've visited so far:

Tribal
- Gabbiani
- Relm
- Rosa

Palazzo
- Amoria


The rp opens up on the smallest of the kingdoms, a tiny backwater country known as Tribal. Yes, it is named after who you're probably thinking it is. You'll find most every place in the world of Altan, I've named after famous characters and places and whatnot. But anyway....

The kingdom of Tribal rests on a large peninsula at the eastern side of the largest continent.

PALAZZO


User Image

Palazzo is the largest (in population) and most advanced kingdom in the world of Altan. The kingdom also boasts a fierce army, including a massive fleet of airships.

Recently, the kingdom of Palazzo has undergone many radical changes, especially in laws dealing with miliitary rights and tax deductions. Rumors have circulated that this was caused mainly by the sickness of the king, and the sudden appearance of several strange people who have, or so it has been said, come from a distant land to corrupt the country. Many of the common people, specifically in the capital, Amoria, have formed a shabby attempt at a resistance against the new chain of command, and are currently raising hell in the castle city.....


Amoria:

Amoria, the castle city, is the capital of Palazzo, home of what is known as the "Thousand-Year Wall"; this is a seemingly endless expanse of tunnels and nigh-impenetrable walls that run not only around, but within, the entire city, and connect to the castle in several areas.
This city makes Gabbiani look like a small country bumpkin town. Yes, that's how massive it is.

Amoria is the most technologically advanced area, not only in Palazzo, but in all of Altan. They possess technology other kingdoms do not have, such as radios and telephones. There are also large vehicles like tram carts powered by steam which traverse across the city; however, these are unbelievably expensive, even just to rent. Therefore, they are only available to extremely wealthy people....

Amoria Castle:

The residence of the royal family of Palazzo, as well as roughly seventy noble families which have close ties with the monarchy.

Thousand-Year Wall:

The massive structure surrounding and running across the city in many places. It consists of tunnels running through the underground of the city, and incredibly tall walls which no attacking outsider has ever been able to successfully assail in the entire history of Palazzo. Several of the tunnels connect to the many basement levels of the castle, and the walls run behind the rear of the castle, surrounding the entire city before coming back around to the rear on the other side. Obviously foolish to even TRY to attack from the outside. However, the same can not be said of assailants from within the city...
