Ithteca City (Otherplaces)

Out of Character: These are Other places within Ithteca City which I personally thought were hard to see since activity happened in this categories subforums that it was practically impossible to notice. Vote in the rules section if you believe I should keep this, and if not vote against it and I'll revert the forum back to the way it was again. (Picture is of Ithteca Bridge)

St. Micheals Cathedral Road

In the area of the 'Harbor Town', on the southern most part of Ithteca opposite of the 'Miner Village'. This area is near the harbor enterance into Ithteca, and doesnt only smell like the sea over here-it is also where some shady deals can be made due to the frequent traffic in and out of this region due to the harbor. Originally called Serpant Street, it was renamed by the city council to St. Micheals Cathedrial Road; it just sounded much nicer that way.

The 'Underworld'

A 'hidden' district of Ithteca not shown on the 'tour of the capitol', but accessible via the Ithteca City Square via a underpass in the market area. The tunnel leads into the original mine that garnered the city's wealth. Now empty of resources, its span of tunnels and claustrophobic network of passageways have been repurposed to house the destitute as well as keep the city above a little more 'cleaner looking'. Out of sight, out of mind. The 'Underworld' District houses all sorts of criminal riff raff, but some locals have made safe zones within these perilous winding passages.

Château de Ravencroft

Château de Ravencroft, 'Ravencroft Castle' it has many names that all mean the same. It was the lair of House Ravencroft for many centuries, partly built off the ruins of an older castle. When it sank into a cavern due to instability from local miners, it was painstakingly rebuilt in its new location. However, during the construction of Ithteca, the cavern collapsed once again, and buried much of the castle in the 'Underground' district. The vampire, Lord Drako Ravencroft, Head of the Ravencroft House opted to instead build a Manor on a desolate jungle island in the northern hemisphere, and left the crumbling ruin to his nephew, Damien M. Ravencroft. Damien has repaired in the centuries since, and though one wouldn't quite call it 'inviting' its beauty and former opulence are still visible.

The Under Ground mines of Ithteca..

The city of Ithteca is a mining city, and underneath the city are mines that hold rare Ithteca steel, a substance sometimes used in making strong Scardian weaponry. The miners risk alot for just a handfull of steel, including drowning since the city mine has been left uncared for many years, which lead to the leaking of the upper Ithteca Bay into the main mines containing this never rusting natural metal.

With rocky cliffs, and forested areas spanning the mountainside; in some areas there will be snow-while other's it will be normal 70 degree temperature. A path leading into Jemial is located here-with the Suspension bridge that connects to the city of Ithteca-you'd be also crossing Guardian's Gorge.

The Guardian's Gorge

Vincent's Cliff Side Bunker/Home

Jemial City

A former mining community, and once known colloquially as 'Roughland City', this unpaved, run down community has a simple 'U' shaped street with all of the proper businesses lined up nicely, and is the checkpoint before one takes the path into the Ithteca mountain chain. Its a deplorable place run by Mayor Todd for as long as most residents can remember, and is a site of corruption. The main point of interest is the Thorne Pub and Inn.

Old Valor Silver Mine

Located near the Twin Peak Mountains, embedded deep within the mountain to the right of the Guardian's path that leads into the Ithteca mountain chain, and to the Capital City itself. An abandoned silver mine owned by the Valor family that had dried up in its natural source of silver, and left in a state of disrepair. However, some say the excavators simply left upon discovering a series of ancient tunnels leading into the depths of a greater, ancient crypt...

Ancient Forerunner Crypt

Deep within the Old Valor Silver Mine lies carved out tunnels made by the Forerunners, who have vanished from Galiavan history. Its winding tunnels and passage ways lead into various mausoleums containing the corpses of Forerunner's long since dead... as well as an abundance of treasures, and the technological insights of the Forerunners... Not to mention the traps, and other dangers you'd expect in an ancient crypt!

Galideno Desert

Once a threat to cross, for those who crossed its threshold would die of old age within a week, the second biggest desert on Galiavan, this was once the area of which Galiden continent received it's name. Mount Risa stands at the center of this dry expanse.

Amaine Forest

Asrond Ruins

The ruins of Asrond-City of Lights. A former Metropolis turned Necropolis; it was once the hometown of the DarkSEED and T.I.R.S. due to the fact the Main HQ of Tenik was situated there-and it still is too...

Tenik H.Q.

The Notorious Head Quarters of Tenik Incorporated, DarkSEED Army, and the Tenik International Reconnaissance Service (T.I.R.S). Now a ghost of it's former glory-the building stands in the war-torn city like a looming tower of despair that has been left in a state of 18 years of decay.

Asrond Spire

The Asrond Spire sits in the center of the ruined necropolis like a bloated spider, ever growing and spreading it's web of corruption into every part of the greater Asrond Ruins and the surrounding Amaine Forest. Now burrowing it's pores into the ancient ruins of Tenik HQ, the Planetary Materia Reactor, and swallowing everything around it. Many now fear the Hell Horde has forced access to some of Tenik's darkest secrets.
Moderator: Darkstorm Zero

Asrond Tenik Estate

The Family Home of the Tenik's since Alexander the First of House Tenik in the mid 2300's. It has stood the test of time for many centuries, from being bombed, burned, and invaded on a few occasions. Ironic that the only element which defeated this once proud home was time itself. It has since been reclaimed by the Amaine, overgrown and utterly a cast away husk of its former glory.

Gailden Wastelands

A.J. Orchard

An oasis in the middle of the wastelands. A grassy plains lead up to an orchard of apples and a ranch for livestock as well. Its the home of the Sieversii family.

Alucphia, The Lamia City of the Deep

This city is only accessible via routes known only to the Desert Lamia Tribes, usually only achieved via burrowing through the sand. Outsiders from other species can only gain entry to this sanctuary via well hidden and guarded caves and tunnels. Incredibly well defended, any invading force attempting to gain entrance will find the guardians of this city more than capable, as they can collapse the tunnels on any intruder, spring ambushes from any angle at any point, at any time. The city itself sits on a convergence of magical leylines that form arteries of the planets lifestream. This font of power is rigorously defended, and access to anybody bar the shaman and exceptional magical adepts of the tribes is forbidden on penalty of death. An underground spring of pure water is also found in abundance here, and much of the city floats upon it's glassy surface. The palace seems to resemble ancient Elvish in architectural design and is used to house all the tribal and clan heads during their stays within the city, but also the home and residence of the current monarch of the desert Lamia tribes. Currently The Desert Golden Cobra, High Queen Orphia, sits the pearl throne of the Desert Lamia.

The Adamantite Prison

A maximum security prison in the depths of the Gailden Wastelands, somewhere between Danton City and Jemial.

The prison is used by the ADN and Gailden branch of the Gunslingers to imprison criminals in modern time.

Toph’s Material Surplus, etc

A large building situated in the foothills of the Beijio Mountains, just before the entrance to the Great Beijio Forest. It's a shop run by Toph, managed by Jac Caligo, and occupied by a number of other staff. Their purpose? To supply the crafting world with supplies, both rare and common; refined and raw- you name it, they most likely have it from Jackalope Fangs to leather and hide of monsters and beasts exotic and common. You can even sell materials to them if they are in decent condition, or even ask one of its hunters to hunt for something specific if it's something rare your seeking!

"The Lonely Wolf"

The Wisteria Maiden Inn

An old inn that has survived in Beijio for centuries, and was erected in the first year of rule of the Garamonde. In the twenty-third century, it was an inn noticeably pioneered by the Fujigumi (Wisteria Group), a Yakuza supposedly loyal to the Busujima Family, and was inferred to be fiercely loyal to Lady Hiyori Busujima in the mid to late 2200's. The Inn still stands, even after two additional great fires and sits in the Market District closest to Beijio Harbor.

Shokuji University

A University set in the more 'modernized' end of Beijio. Uniformed students arrive here in droves to learn more about the planet, making use of technology among other skills necessary to survive on Galiavan. General education aside, the age of students can vary, as this place acts as an institute for adult learning as well.

The Fire Temple

The home of the Tanegashima Clan, and a place of worship for the spirits of fire of the people of beijio.

The Sealed Shrine

The Sealed Shrine is a powerful sacred place, and a link to the Nexus of the lifestream. Those who enter the shrine and unseal the central alter are tested by the Lifestream itself, and shown their potential futures, and the nature and potential of their power. However, those unable to handle either the wisdom of their own potential futures, or the power revealed within themselves will be driven insane by the knowledge, or destroyed by their own power. It is considered one of the ultimate tests of the clan.

Southern Ice Caps: The Dead Lands

Spire Valley

Spire Valley lies in the shadow of the Crown City of Reledor, which lies atop Mount Reledor. It is called such for the number of spires throughout the valley leading down to Lake Crestmane and the Frosted Alpines. Each spire is a small village without a name, as the minor lords of each spire collectively call the region 'the Spire Valley'. Each minor Lord is in charge to light the beacons atop each spire in the event of invasion or oncoming strife in days of old.

Frosted Alpines

The Amaine gives way to the Frosted Alpines the further south you go, before you come to snowfields as far as the eye can see. The Frosted Alpines cover much of the lower west section of Gailden and then sweep around to the northwest into the Goukudo Region and the Beijionese Mountains. The natural forest edge is a loose boarder marking where the Dead Lands begin...

Lake Crestmane

A placid lake located at the bottom of Spire Valley, in which the Goukudo Falls in the Beijionese Mountains and Valwynn Falls spill into. It is said Lake Crestmane gets its name from a massive dragon who was felled in the area. Upon crashing down into the permafrost, the creature's steaming hot body melted and carved out the valley and lake bed. However, such claims are unable to be easily substantiated due to a lack of evidence. However, on some of the tiny islands in the center of the lake are structures; ruins of the Old Kingdom that had fallen into millennia of ruin and have since been submerged into the icy depths of the lake.

Warren Slope

A wide and winding slope on the westernmost ridge of Mount Reledor. The slope in times past was one of the few natural defenses of the people of Reledor with which only the gondolas at Lovegrove Station leading up the mountain would allow one to easily bypass the deep snow and slippery slopes. In the present, its a tourist attraction for skiing and snowboarding. The slope is still treacherous to the uninitiated, and going down its winding hills is not for the faint of heart.

Fort Valwynn & the Great Valwynn Falls

A fortification of the Royal Vanguard of Reledor, which overlook and protect Spire Valley while also controlling the flow of the Great Valwynn Falls that spill into Lake Crestmane. The fortification has been there since the foundation of the Crown City, and is a vital fortress and the Matriarchy's first line of defense. It is said one method of grand punishment in Reledor is to shackle the punished to a vessel in the Sending Canal in the City above, letting the accused drift aimlessly down the canal, into the chute that would swiftly bring them to the mouth of the Valwynn Falls where they'd plunge several hundred feet into the Lake below...

The Triumvirate: The Palace of the Three

---

The Triumvirate is the massive castle at the center of Reledor's government, and is notably where the three Queens of the country make court with the Merchant, Farming and Military Guilds alongside the Nobles of the Goukudo region and the 20 Lords of Spire Valley of who make up its Court. The Throne Room looks like the interior of a Hazorian Church, with balconies on both sides of the long room which seat the Nobles and Lords, while the main floor holds three rows of pews that seat each of the three guilds, while lastly, presiding over the court, are three thrones elevated before a podium. The left and right seats are set slightly lower than the one in the center, usually reserved for Queen Alea Valwynn. It is to be noted, the palace does not actually house the Queens nor their families, save during times of strife in which the three have equal and standardized accomodations.
