Cilance
Nestled within a serene valley, the country of Cilance is a land of tranquility and calm. The landscape is characterized by its unique topography, with tall mountains rising on all sides, creating a natural barrier that shields the land from the hustle and bustle of the outside world. As a result, even the wind passes through with only a gentle murmur, creating a sense of peace that pervades the entire country.
To the south of Cilance, slow-moving waters flow, creating a natural barrier that further enhances the sense of calm and serenity. The waters meander and calm by the time they reach Cilance's borders, contributing to the overall peaceful ambiance of the land.
The towns and architecture of Cilance are built around the reverence of quiet. Canals with winding waterways that crisscross the country, serving as the main mode of transportation. The slow canals contribute to the muted noise in Cilance, further enhancing the sense of quiet and tranquility that permeates the land. Buildings rise gracefully along the canals, with their reflections shimmering on the calm waters, creating a picturesque and serene atmosphere.
The architecture of Cilance is unique, with buildings made of stone and wood, adorned with intricate carvings and ornate details. The colors of the buildings are muted and earthy, blending harmoniously with the natural surroundings. Narrow bridges span across the canals, connecting different parts of the towns, and small boats are a common sight, gliding silently along the waterways.
The landscape of Cilance is dotted with lush gardens, where colorful flowers bloom and add splashes of vibrant hues to the otherwise muted palette of the land. Trees line the canals and provide shade and shelter, adding to the overall sense of tranquility and peace.
The Metronome: a large structure and stronghold to the Whisperer, the cultural leader to the nation of Cilance. The people here live in muted silence, believing voice to be something religious. In public, Cilaneans hardly speak, and if they do it is in a whisper. They mostly use sign language. Only theWhisperer can make public speeches. In their own homes they are able to speak normally. The nation is surrounded by soft islets that break the waves so they are quiet by the time they roll in, mountains to the west block any dangerous winds. The streets are filled with water so even footsteps are uncommon to hear as gondolas float around the city. Due to the nature of this land, quiet has become the expected. The stronghold known as The Metronome serves as both a keep and a clock tower, creating a low tick when the hours of the day pass by.
