LunaSol
LunaSol, nestled in the northern reaches of the Emerald Peninsula on Keeper's Coast, stands as a testament to the resilience and ingenuity of those who harness the arcane arts. Born out of Alovar's vision and a divergence from Duskveil, LunaSol is a city where magic pulses through the very streets, shaping the skyline with fantastical structures and arcane anomalies. Its futuristic aesthetic and extreme intonation with magic create an environment unlike any other. A haven for mages, LunaSol embraces the diversity of magical talents, from the scholarly wizards to the free-spirited bards, each finding a place within the city's mystical embrace.
Government
LunaSol operates under an idiosyncratic form of government known as magiocracy. The Arcane caste system establishes a hierarchy, with wizards at the apex, followed by natural magic wielders like druids and sorcerers, bards, non-casters, and, at the lowest rung, clerics, paladins, and warlocks deemed as heretics. The city's rulership is shaped by those with the greatest mastery of the arcane arts, fostering an environment where magical prowess is not just a skill but a measure of political influence.
Defences
LunaSol's defenses are a testament to its magical prowess. A formidable magical barrier envelops the city, shielding it from external threats. The Arcane Caste System ensures that the city's defenders are adept mages, capable of manipulating the very fabric of reality to protect their home. The city's commitment to the practice of magic, endorsed and cultivated, further fortifies LunaSol against potential adversaries.
Infrastructure
The city's architecture is a blend of magic-infused smaller houses and grand structures that defy spatial logic, appearing larger on the inside. LunaSol is a beacon of magical innovation, with research centers and towers dedicated to each of the nine schools of magic. The presence of the Arcane Forge, a hub of magical experimentation, adds an additional layer to the city's allure. Magical anomalies are not uncommon, creating an ever-shifting urban landscape that captures the wonder of the arcane.
