Anduruna

Sabbaton Towers

The political and geological center of Anduruna, Sabbaton is the seat of power for the Viscount and a number of influential elites within the city.

Calypsa District

Calypsa is filled with streams, lakes, and swampy areas, was once stereotyped as a home to the outlaw and thief. While the citizens can be secretive, they also hold to an explicit sense of honor and conduct. Calypsa has a thriving industry in the collection and refinement of the mineral lunarous. Rather than expensively mining the substance, they can filter it from their Starfall-fed waterways.

Ruskol District

The Ruskol district in the north, shot through with rocky slopes harboring frost nearly year-round, is stereotyped as a home to very introspective and calculating individuals. Slow to place or withdraw loyalty, and keeping their emotions to themselves, the Ruskans have historically made trustworthy allies, but implacable enemies. Having no coastlines, rivers, or significant natural resources of their own, they have maintained their status through the art of incisive political maneuvering, making them home to some of the finest negotiators in Anduruna.

Talocan District

Fabled for their fun-loving and exciting personalities, the Talocan district possesses architecture rich in color and ornamentation, with abstracted, graphic animal sculptures mixing with terraced pyramidal stonework. Gifted with generous coastlines and a tropical ocean current, yet protected from the southern storms by protruding Margate, Talocan has the most pleasurable beaches of Anduruna.

Margate District

Margate is a major shipping hub, due to its oceanic prominence and collection of fantastic harbors. In addition to trade, fishing is a major industry of the district. Its citizenship traditionally harbors tendencies towards exploration and curiosity, seeing home as more of a resting point between journeys. This may be due to the area’s history of shabby homes and low-incomes, with the rich harbormasters and shipyard owners comprising a wealthy minority of the residents. Architecture in some of the poorer areas could be at times ad-hoc, using materials and flotsam washed ashore to nail together crude dwellings.

Kojiki District

Kojiki district culture has a historic focus on balance, with this being reflected in the pagoda-littered architecture and symmetrical, Zen-style buildings. Their traditional philosophy of inner focus and subjectivity put them at odds with their dogmatic Theophanies neighbors, although the animosity is mainly in the other district.

Kittim

Although its shale slopes are nearly barren of sustaining growth, Kittim has a small population supported by its strategic placement between the Eridu and Anduruna. Combined with its excellent harbor, this makes it an excellent trading harbor.

Theophanies District

Theophanies is most famous as the last remaining bastion for Sacrare, the worship of the mythological spirits. Traditionally the religion focused on spirit worship as a way to purify and strengthen a dreamkeeper’s power, but the old texts have been interpreted differently with the changing times, ‘power’ is now portrayed as actually symbolizing personal dedication and faith. The classical architecture is among Anduruna’s most beautiful with fluted columns, balustrades, and edifices all carved and worked by artisans for the glory of unseen and unheard deities.

Norvondire District

With its bold, powerful architectural tastes, it can be little wonder that Norvondire citizens traditionally embody competitive, brash, chivalrous attitudes. Many buildings sport crenellations and battlements, or even moats. The district also features many forested avenues and venues, incorporating the outer reaches of the Starfall forest. It is a distinctive experience to stroll its cobblestone avenues under sighing boughs while appreciating the silent, lurking castles.
