Ma'Trine

in Nations

Ma'trine glitters, a paradise of beautiful people dripping jewels, larger than life fashion, the center of the world's innovation. The clothes, the people, the towers are all beautiful and colourful. Personalities larger than life. They seem to float above normal people, and above the poor who serve them. You only make it in Cienne if you're extraordinary.
