The Twelve Cities
One of the more bizarre phenomena even by Sophia Prime standards, the Twelve cities are settlements that rotate around Devil's Ante like the arms of a clock. Carrying much of the surrounding terrain with them, whole sections of the country effectively orbit its center, with no clear mechanism for what moves them or any real explanation for how it's possible without hourly earthquakes. Travelers at the edges of the defined territories can perceive the trees "move" slowly if they stand and watch.
Most of the area is covered with the Chain Forest. Only (most) of the area surrounding each settlement has been cleared of the strange trees which make up much of the forest's plant life.
Each of the cities is named for one of the twelve symbols of the zodiac, and bears a likeness of the animal on its town crest.
