Cities

Behind the Scenes · full notes

• Isekai History

  • A rich environment of fauna and flora led several hunters (back before adventurers were a thing) to spend most of their lives around these parts. What started out as a single fire pit and nearby hut slowly grew into a conglomeration of stone fireplaces and a city around it.
  • The firepits constantly feed carcasses and other garbage that can’t be used in order to smelt iron and other minerals alongside blacksmithing.
  • Because of the community-driven spirit that gave rise to this city, the fire pits are publicly available and maintained.

• Royalty/Politics

  • The retired hunters gather around the conglomeration of stone fireplaces every day to aid in city management.
  • Since there is no representative/governor/king, this city does not have a strong voice in the ForWay meetings. Forway tried to pressure them to have a governmental approach, but received a backlash (animal guts poured on their Blood Embassy.)
    • Forway switched to a slow takeover through the embassy quest system and had people sign up to be adventurers instead. With time, they will change the culture.

• Relationship/Threats

  • Beasts/Forway probing around.

• Society Composition

  • Mostly humans. A handful of Darfaries, a few Wozefaries, and tons of Sorefaries. A handful of adventurers with Bruntos or Sorefaries.

  • Hunting totems made from bones, stone, Fost stone, and wood that are placed and maintained around town.
  • They also believe in eating bone meal to keep one’s soul strong.

  • See Religion. They are rather tribalistic in nature but welcoming to non-authoritative-looking people. They are always willing to fight and compete to be the best while also preserving their hunting secrets through guild generations.
    • Some families actively avoid using any Forway Embassy services.

• Food/Drink

  • Bagarisa Nose with Cheese

    • Chewy, but delicious! Created by hunters to maximize meat usage, but now become a peculiar dish.
    • 15 Pearls for 1 Nose.
    • 

  • Bloody Blood Sausage

    • Bagarisa + blood-famous sausage from Blood-City. Comes in a wavy pattern.

  • Bone Meal

    • Animal bone is often ground into bone meal for crafting, construction, or meal aid.
    • See Economy Calculator
    •

      • The favorites are then placed around while the losers are burned in the fire.

  • Drunken Sweet Sting Festival

    • Every Adrian a festival is held, where the top 10 winners of The Great Hunter/Huntress competition dress in a special Sweet Sting costume and bar-hop around both Blood and Sweetlake, drinking black mead. Other adventurers follow along, celebrating, and often bars put on the best presentation and goods they can offer to attract the famous adventurers into their bars.

• Burial

  • Dead bodies are shoved into the furnace, as people are no different than animals in their mindset.

• Visual References

  • Similar to Freeish Kingdom, but with hunting totems instead of trees with Trunk People

• Isekai History

  • See World Timeline.
  • As humans began to settle on this island, Bruntos began interacting with them and grew close to them. Humans would make great-tasting food and shelter for them and they would help bring raw ingredients and even assist in farming. Also helping in hiding from the Lishies.
  • As people lived here for years on end, they noticed that the weather is unusually warm and humid all year long. It rains every day in the Sonnu.
  • This type of weather is certainly not for everyone
  • Humans, alongside Bruntos, developed a taste for Lonllows, but humans were unable to find a way to farm it on a large scale until Bruntos taught them to plant fish in the ground before putting branches of the Lonllows in. With this information, they could be farmed all year long.

• Royalty/Politics

  • Decentralized government among the villages is led by corresponding guilds that work independently of one another. The guilds do work with each other rather well despite this decentralization.
  • It is considered a single city by Forway. These guilds choose a smart and good-natured representative who has a strong bond with a Brunto.

• Society Composition

      • Adventurers can do the same, and if they bond with a Brunto, they can take it with them as a companion for free (a decision made to boost tourism, but it is rare for it to happen)

    • Lonllows are baked with Sanbi, cheese, and a tiny amount of Tastyleaf.

  • There are a few dominant guilds. They are tied to the leftover bandits and their children. They basically control Flatland, and so they select the representative for the Embassy
    • They pick the cutest Wozefaries from their guilds in order to put up a facade for their suspicious activities.
  • They are very strict with people who make false accusations or are negative about the royal guilds. They will find ways to punish people saying bad things about the guilds.

  • Abandoned Docker (#3)

    • Fishing is not considered viable in the massive lake, even though Fihi is a specialty of this lake. Fihi fish in that location developed a taste for humans and discovered how to sink them into the water. Usually, adventurers fish in that location, or people cast from the shoreline instead.
    • Most people catch Fihi on the Buhraies Plains instead.

  • Sorefaries Line (#4)

• Isekai History

  • See World Timeline.
  • Since the fall of Ganyrami, some humans have chosen to make the ruins their new home. Some bandits also live in the refuge, but they seem to live symbiotically with the locals. This made Forway interested in placing an embassy for the sake of changing this vibe, but it was, and still is, pretty tough to do so.

• Royalty/Politics

  • Somewhat detached from everyone. Freeish leaders have some shady dealings with people here, so they are left alone. Forway is trying to intervene, but they are finding it difficult.

• Relationship/Threats

  • Bandits take over if they break or leech too much from their symbiosis.
  • Forway decides to take firm action.

• Society Composition

  • Of all kinds. Some shady characters can be found here.

• Religion

  • Of all kinds.

• Culture

  • Believe the past is the past, and people don’t talk about it. You deal with your own shit.
  • Badges are rarely used because they mean showing your true self.
  • Contracts are mostly done outside the normal contract system, which means you have to enforce it yourself if need be.

• Food/Drink

  • Food Paste

    • Well known for inventing Food pastes and still the best at creating them. They come in all kinds of flavors and let people travel long distances on the cheap, especially if they make a large batch to take on the road. Some bandits use that to avoid certain places or to investigate new hit spots.
    • 

• Clothing

  • Simpler stuff to deal with the dense, muggy forest.

• Education

  • Barely any.

• Crime/Law

  • Unreported. People sort to themselves instead of relying on the embassy or their guards.
  • People who rely on the guards tend to get into bigger trouble anyway.

• Local Embassy Quests

  • Discovery, infiltration quests to find bandits. (Only given to adventurers they trust a whole lot.)

• Guilds

  • None

    • No Forway recognizable guild currently resides here. Forway is trying to change that, but it does not seem to work.

• Economy

  • Some local goods from the forest, but there is an unnatural boom (likely caused by all the stolen shit.) One can find a variety of stuff, of all kinds and origins.

• Marriage

  • No official way is commonly accepted. Guilds are rarely formed either since people don’t talk about their pasts.

• Name Influence

  • All kinds. People usually give themselves new names.

• Points Of Interests

  • Central Hut

    • One of the biggest Lishies huts ever seen. Stood the test of time, and somehow survived the fall of Ganyrami (mostly because the human who conquered it decided to take the throne for himself.)
    • There’s no leader, but people sort between themselves to keep the fire in the hut lit, and someone there to act as leader, as Forway demanded someone to respond on behalf of the city. The leader basically is whoever feels like keeping up the fire. The catch is that Forway requires a person's badge, but they always say they don’t have one. It infuriates Forway representatives, but they don’t want to overstep their boundaries and cause civil unrest.

  • Buna’s Fishery

    • An old place that somehow never got robbed. Likely because the owners have deep connections into shady stuff, with hints of being feared for what they did to people who tried to rob them (past rumors).

• Festivals

  • None

    • Due to the uncoordinated culture, there is no thematic festival or anything that brings everyone together.

• Burial

  • Depends if someone knew what the person wanted; otherwise, burial in the forest away from prying eyes, but expect to be stripped of all valuables.

• Visual Reference

• Isekai History

  • See World Timeline.
    • One of the first tribes to become a city once Aldemeri fell, but it is distant from everything due to its singular economic status.
    • Humans discovered a giant tree in a hidden garden that produces a leaf that makes most things incredibly tasty.
      • History diverges depending on whether humans killed the garden owners or abandoned the garden.
    • The tree also lights up when it rains and helps keep beasts from Hifuna away from their settlement.

• Royalty/Politics

  • The tree is massive, so everyone was sharing it. However, as the city grew, so did the number of people who wanted to take ownership of and profit from the tree. People from different guilds banded together and formed new guilds to seize control of the tree.
    • Forway kind turns a blind eye to it as long as the tree is not harmed.

• Relationship/Threats

  • Cruro eats a few people a year.
    • Sea travel is difficult
    • Beasts when they stray south and meet people traveling around.

• Religion

• Clothing

  • Similar to Sanbi, but made from Croro leather instead.

• Education

  • Basic education is provided to citizens by Forway for free if they sign a contract agreeing to stay on Tastyleaf for the rest of their lives. This is to provide some protection for the tree, at least until someone figures out how to clone it.

• Crime/Law

  • Just like Forway, but for major cases, they force the person to go out and fight beasts. If he/she survived, then their punishment is absolved.

• Isekai History

  • When humans fled from the lishies’ hungry mouth, they came across a piece of land where natural rocks formed triangles. They began building things in a triangular shape, and since it is such a powerful natural structure, it survived the harsh storms from the sea.
  • Certain individuals took this natural idea and created a community place to ensure everyone followed the triangle way of doing things.
  • When tons of people fled to this city during the Greed period, the community forced “The Triangle Way” on everyone. It worked to calm and organize the populace while allowing three guilds to essentially control everything.
    • They control everyone to such a point that even people’s poop schedule is synced.
    • There are bathrooms everywhere.
    • Everyone goes to poop at the same time.

• Royalty/Politics

  • Triangle on Forehead marks the three royal guilds. They control everything on the island.

• Relationship/Threats

  • Other places, if they discover the truth.
    • Tsunamis

• Society Composition

  • Only humans can live in the city. Any other species must wear a triangle amulet for the duration of the stay.

• Religion

  • The triangle gave them new life, protecting them from the elements. It started off as people; now it has become something above and beyond people. A thing. A concept.

• Culture

  • Similar to Sanbi, but not as warm and friendly if you don’t believe in the power of the triangle.
    • Not exactly friendly to other species either. Pets are frowned upon.
    • Worships triangles. Specifically, the original triangle is held in the Triangle Cathedral. People come here to touch it in hopes of good luck and health. In some cases, people from other places come here in hopes of solving issues caused by their DNA, as Soul Energy can’t seem to solve those.

• Food/Drink

  • Quick Cake

    • A tenderthrough + Lonllow cake that tastes amazing, but passes through you incredibly quick.
    • ~5 Pearls for a big slice
    • 

• Clothing

  • Like Sanbi Kingdom, but with Triangle cuts in their shirts and other things revolving around the triangle craziness.

• Education

  • Based on Forway, but with emphasis on Triangle teachings to force people into their cult from early on.

• Crime/Law

  • See Sanbi Kingdom

• Local Embassy Quests

  • None

• Guilds

    • Where people go to have enemas in public. They touch their butt in a fountain and clean it up for them.

• Festivals

  • Triangle Fest

    • Hold every Moacir. A bunch of people playing the triangle at the same rhythm around the cathedral in hopes of increasing the power of the triangle in keeping enemies at bay.

  • White Roundies Arrival

    • Every winter, white roundies arrive. People tend to party with them because they behave like a dog but are the size of a human. People also use them to try to exchange food for stuff they find in the deep sea. Sometimes they get lucky and get gold; sometimes they get a half-eaten fish.
      • Triangle Citizens tend to keep them at bay/not socially as much.

• Burial

  • Same as Sanbi, but the rocks here are triangle-shaped.

• Visual References

Houses would still present a medieval mix with sharp angles and a concrete and glass appearance mixed in.

• Isekai History

  • See World Timeline.
  • As time passed, smart people saw the potential of using the waterfall to grind grain, and the city flourished.
  • With the prosperity treaty, this city became the central point for producing fishmeal (dried fish from Sanbi) and flour (Domar wheat from Tolerideme). Also, tourists who want to see its beauty

• Royalty/Politics

  • Some citizens still treat Sanbi Kingdom citizens better than Tolerideme Kingdom citizens, especially given that Tolerideme people are seen as lazy for overrelying on soul energy to do everything.
    • Part of it is that Tolerideme is always fair on pay and straight in negotiation, which leaves Waterfall in a tough spot as they are more Sanbian/flexible.
  • “The ones who control the water mills control the city.” However, they are kinda lazy about the controlling aspect and rather unwilling to deal with matters that don't affect them directly, so usually Forway City has to bring someone to take care of the embassy, which also takes care of the city.

• Relationship/Threats

  • Not really.

• Society Composition

  • Mostly humans, a decent number of fat people due to Tolerideme being nearby, and high carb consumption since fresh-baked bread is cheap. Darfaries can be seen as well, but they also tend to be slightly overweight. Not many Wozefaries/Sorefaries due to colder climates.

• Religion

  • Mixed between respecting “Sea” god & reverence towards the “Three Smart Ladies”

• Culture

  • Kinda keep to themselves but still not unwelcoming of strangers. Except to Tolerideme citizens who tend to get the “you wait in line longer” treatment.
  • Kinda on the lazy side since they have so much job stability. They shit on Tolerideme citizens, but they don’t see their own laziness apparently

• Food/Drink

  • Finger Cake

    • After someone lost a finger on the cogs, they realized a cool cake possibility and created multiple dense finger cakes. Great for adventuring. Now, one of the most famous ones includes

      • Domar
      • Gyut Domar
      • Lonllow Domar
      • Purplebread Domar
      • Fishmeal With Tastyleaf Domar
      • Black Honey Domar
      • Rakuja Gyut Domar
      • Cadioca
      • Tastyleaf Cadioca

    • From the same crochet bag, she dug around, pulled out a rectangular thatch box, and slid it open, revealing a yellowish color with red dots along the width and girth of a finger inside.

    • ~7 Pearls for each about the size of a fist.

      • Refill leather package for 6 = 68 Pearls

  • Elevators

    • Structures controlled by cables on the side of the wood guide the elevator up/down
    • Elevator controllers can move at ~10 km/h (~12 minutes to ascend/descend due to speed-up/slow-down).
    • Max weight/Cost: 5,120 Kg
      • Per Person: 20 Pearls (if really fat, or Darfaries, they charge double. Sorefaries rides free.)
      • Per weight: 1 Pearl for 3kg
    • The top/bottom has locks to keep the thing in place to prevent floating away when there is no cargo.

    

  • Rainy Waterfalls

    • With the creation of the Buhraies Plains, a double waterfall appeared and divided the land between them, creating a spot that the wood people could not reach. The waterfalls themselves are so big and tall that they create clouds over the entire region.
