| Name: The Sanctuary of Nievum Silva (The Sanctuary of the White Forest) Type(As in village, city, lair, etc):City/Refuge City Location(Continent, etc): The Great Forest of Thalassinus Geography: A forest originally cultivated from the White Tree, a tree that grew in the homeland of the Elder, Nievus Terra (now Mortus Terra), the White Forest was built by the relatively kind Elder as a sanctuary city in times of danger, where both the Younger and Elder could find safety. Hidden in the Great Forest of Thalassinus, The Sanctuary came to hold the massive backup files of the wisdom of the Elder. Guarded by a branch of the Elder called the Rangers, Nievum Silva was built with the blessing of Him, and so the White tree has a beneficial effect on the sick. The White Tree is slightly photoluminscent, and so at night the city glows. In the millenia since the fall of Nievum Terra, the Elder's great hard drives and computers have broken down, their language now forgotten. However, the lingering breath of Him has allowed this city to continue to prosper. The Sanctuary now is not inhabited only by the Elder, but also peaceful outcasts, people falsely accused, and various outcasts from society. Called the City of Refuge, it is a city where one can start over at life. In the center of the city is the original White Tree and the government building, The Sanctuary. Deity worshiped, if any: Him, the Great Spirit. Economy(Bad, good, main exports/imports, etc): Being isolated, the Sanctuary of the White Forest imports mainly immigrant outcasts (one who accidentally killed someone and is now being hunted by the deceased's family, thieves who want to start over, "good" demons, etc.). Its exports include bows and arrows made from Whitewood (believed to be endowed with great power) and Whitewood Furniture (which is said to incresae lifespan). Overall, The Sanctuary is self-sufficient. Preferred Category(Warfare, Trade, Goods, Food, etc): City of Refuge. Typical Attitude of a Citizen: The motto of the city is "Forgiveness is Rebirth." Since over 30% of hte population is made out of refugees and outcasts (or their descendants), the city generally as a policy does not ask about a newcomer's past, since it may well be something that they do not want to talk about. The guardians of the forest and city, known as the Rangers, are only recruited from second-generation citizens, though. The Elder of the City generally are more reminiscent of the Elder of old, being generally forgiving because they hope to be forgiven themselves for their own sins. Military: The Rangers. The Guardians of the Forest and the Sanctuary of the White Forest. Because many members may not want to be recognized by people who wish for revenge, the Rangers wear cloaks and facecloths to conceal their identities. Armed with Whitewood bows and arrows, swords, and staves, these Guardians are also adept at blending into the forest. Rangers are chosen from exams in the city's universities for physical and mental aptitude. Taught from age 14 to age 21, these rangers are taught herbal medicines, combat, deception, and survival. Rangers patrol most of the forests of the Forests of Thalassinus as protectors of travelers of the forest and as messengers. They are known for their reliability. | |
