Welcome Anonymous,

Do you know where you are?
You're in the most self-sufficient city of the era.
You live indifferent or as an Engineer or Alchemist.
Do you know who you are?
Well, you certainly won't find it in your dreams, that's for sure.
Unravel the secrets on your own path,
It's merely time for you to come alive in our bustling little town.
Maybe you'll finally meet one of the Society.

..::THE PLOT::..

In this world, there is nothing left.

Nothing aside from the City. But in the City, there is everything one needs for living, so the people of the City do not worry.

The Engineers and the Alchemists work eternally to keep the City going, so that it will never crumble into ruins like the rest of the world.

But rarely do the Engineers and the Alchemists agree on the method of preserving the City. An ongoing silent war persists between these two factions.

The First Minister along with the esteemed Police Force work tirelessly to mediate the everlasting conflict that goes on in the City. Most of the time, their efforts are in vain.

Meanwhile, there is a new force that seems to be stirring things up in the City. They don't seem on the side of the Engineers or the Alchemists. Everything about them is cloaked in mystery and rumors. They are simply dubbed 'the Society'.

It is said that members of the Society all hold a strange, miraculous power. But just who are they? Perhaps the lady down the bakery you meet every day? Or an acquaintance from your local guild? Or maybe even a friend? Or a family member? No one knows. Even the goals of the Society are unclear... but it is said that they hold the secret to why the people in the City don't dream. Is this the truth? Or just another flowery lie for romantic fantasies?

..::THE FACTIONS::..



F I R S T M I N I S T E R:
Their power rises far above the diversion of the police force. Rather than trying to keep the peace of the tedious alchemist and engineer factions, they think of the city as a whole. Peace in general is what they stand for as they're the head figure of neutrality and power to the City.


              P O L I C E F O R C E:
              They stand for order and to keep order between all commoner activities including Alchemist and Engineer debates. They don't necessarily have the easiest job regardless of the seemingly simple tasks assigned to them by the First Minister.


T H E A C A D E M Y:
For Alchemists, by the alchemists. Research and other things amongst the alchemists are discussed as a community as they slowly dig deeper into their 'discovery'.. They're always on high tension with the engineers regardless of their similar goal to keep the city going. These are examples of their study(you can to create your own as well):

Botanical Alchemy:
A very wealthy and prestigious area of study for alchemy. Botanical alchemy focuses on using alchemy on plant life to create more nutritious plants that can survive in more extreme environments and are easy to cultivate, etc.

Meteorological Alchemy:
A very important area of study for alchemy. Meteorological alchemy focuses on using alchemy to artificially simulate desirable weather patterns.

Mineralogical Alchemy:
The oldest form of alchemy, combining and creating precious metals. However it's now commonly looked down upon as old fashioned and lame. As metals is commonly associated with engineering, this is an area of study that is often spoken bad of among alchemists. Still, it's still quite widely and commonly practiced, as it's one of the easiest forms of alchemy.


              T H E E N G I N E E R ' S G U I L D:
              For Engineers, by the engineers. Community of Engineers as they continue to develop their inventions and projects by tinkering and toying with mechanics. They are always on high tension with the alchemists despite their similar goal of keeping the City going. Here are examples of their study(you can create your own as well):

              Architectural Engineering:
              These guys design and build all the cool edifices in the City. They are also the ones responsible for maintaining the famous Wall that surround the City.

              Mechanical Engineering:
              This a very wide range of study. These guys design and make all the cool machinery found around the City.

              Bio-mechanical Engineering:
              An important sub-group in the mechanical engineering field of research that focuses on designing and creating mechanical limbs.


T H E S O C I E T Y:
The Secret Society that is slowly but surely beginning to influence things within the City. Rumored to hold the knowledge of why the people of the City do not dream, everything about the Society is a mystery. It's also another common rumor that members of the Society hold a sort of mysterious power. However who these members are and their goal is mostly a mystery.

..::OCCUPATIONS & SCHOOLING::..


One must note that, in order to apply for any prodigious occupation, such as being a doctor or lawyer, one much have at least the minimal Alchemy or Engineering licence. The City believes that only those from these two major factions should be allowed the rights to such important occupations. The only exception is the Police Force.

On the topic of schooling, there is only two possible form of schools, one by the Academy the other by the Guild. Therefore in order to go to school you must be part of either or. In these schools aside from teaching the basics of either Alchemy or Engineering, children are also taught basic subjects like Math, History and Philosophy. You can earn your licence by completing school. However you can also get one simply by completing an apprenticeship, or through a home tutor if you're rich.
