Dirramach
Dirramach is an island country in the middle of the map that spans about 100,000 square kilometers, and also one of the most densely populated and terraformed countries in Myrias.
Spiel about how it's very rich.
Spiel about how it's a free country with free trade and melting pot of races.
The three districts look very distinct, but are not especially divided in such a way as to avoid moving between them. Indeed, there exists many waterways that pass through each of the districts (care of the Tide District), upon which many are able to u
The Tide District comprises the majority of Dirramach, running along the edge of the island. The tide district contains every harbor that accepts and routes ships through Dirramach for servicing and trade between other merchants. The tide district is also composed of many great waterways that transport the citizens of dirramach from one place to another, as well as other ships to the other side of the island.
Though the tide district is the largest, it's also comparatively the least well-off compared to the Clockwork and Glass district. Dockworkers, masons, carpenters, blue-collar workers, live here and normally commute to where they work. This, however, does not mean that the tide district is by any means poor. The people who live in Dirramach are masters in their craft and enjoy many benefits of being in close proximity to the forefront of invention and trade.
The Clockwork District, also called the home of invention, is a meritocracy that's maintained and governed by the Council of Gaveth, with Councilor Laurent its primary figurehead. Inhabited generally by academics that specialize in either magic or artifice, this district thrives on the ability to innovate and peddle discoveries and inventions to the entirety of Myrias.
Extremely dense, the district's buildings extend many stories up, each equipped with cylindrical technomagical elevators, and with families living in large apartments. The primary means of transportation in the clockwork district is through bicycle or waterway, though carriages are still a common enough sight.
The Triumvirates of Dirramach
- Tox, the Queen of the Depths, the Triumvirate of the Tide District
- Councilor Laurent of the Council of Gaveth, the Triumvirate of the Clockwork District
- Kaeyarus, the Crystal Seneschal, the Triumvirate of the Glass District.
The Tide District
The Undertow
There also exists the Undertow, a large city-haven that resides underneath the waterways of the Tide District, which acts as a black market and base of operations for the head of the Tide District, an elusive woman named Tox, Queen of the Depths. The existence of the Undertow is a rumor in the Clockwork and Glass district, an open secret in the tide district, and a myth to the rest of Myrias.The Clockwork District
The Council of Gaveth
The Council of Gaveth's purpose is more of an administrative body that caters to the needs of its top researchers and inventions. Sourcing materials, books, test subjects; all of this happens under the purview of the council. Because of this, the councilors themselves have wracked up a lot of reputation and wealth within most, if not all, academic communities. They're the people to meet; the people to schmooze. And of course, with all that wealth and power at your fingertips, many are prone to make power plays to strengthen their position within the council, as well as others from beyond trying to join the ranks of the council. In that regard, Councilor Laurent is by far the most cunning and constant figure in the council. The council is composed of 11 Councilors, each obtaining their seats through vote or appeal from the people or the original councilmen.The Glass District
The Glass District makes up about 20% of the urban mass of Dirramach, but also holds the most grand features among the three districts. Large spires, palaces, gardens and forests dot the area, where the oldest and most prominent families enjoy safety and peace. More interestingly, however, here lies the Crystal Seneschal, Kaeyarus, and his palace. Kaeyarus is an archfey of great power, who has claimed the land of the Glass District as his own, and nobody dare to oppose that stance. (Spiel about the structures here) (Spiel about the Windowed Throne)The Crystal Seneschal
The sole contributor to the peace in the Glass District is Kaeyarus himself, who is rumored to be able to see and hear everything within the Glass District. When something out of turn happens, offenders are either smote to the ground or transformed into other, lesser beings. Though this happens rarely, these things happening is not unheard of, and most people who reside here are very careful not to act against the whims of the Archfey Sovereign. What causes these acts of intervention, nobody knows, but Kaeyarus has made it a point for everyone to know that he values peace above all. The following have incurred the ire of Kaeyarus: -A man who killed his wife in a drunken stupor flayed himself in the town square, confessing his crime -A group of assassins lost their bones at the entrance to the Glass District, falling to the ground with no support. Their employer was not found or revealed, however. -A woman's teeth fell off after using Kaeyarus as a means of threatening her children. -A rapist fell to the ground, paralyzed, and slowly shrank into himself over the course of a fortnight after seeking safety from an assassin that had been pursuing him. The assassin was not harmed, and in fact felt his pockets heavier from extra pieces of gold as he left the district. Because of the presence of Kaeyarus, many have sought safety and refuge within the district, confident that they were immune to persecution, and indeed they are right. Many governing entities refuse to pursue into the Glass district for fear of incurring the wrath of Kaeyarus. Due to this, many high-profile persons, criminals and politicians and activists alike, reside here. Not much is known as to why Kaeyarus lives here, not what his purpose in the material plane is, but here he resides, waiting, watching, listening.
