New Theia

Let the history of the stars unfold itself to you.
New Theia, a captivating planet mostly covered in an endless winter discovered by the refugees fleeing the war-ridden Eristeria, became both a sanctuary and a divisive landscape for its human settlers. Named after the main ship that brought them there, New Theia mirrored the environmental biomes of their original home. As settlement progressed, disagreements between men and women escalated, leading to the geographical division of New Theia into Covonunia for women and Enuthal for men. This separation, while addressing immediate conflicts, inadvertently initiated a decline in birth rates. Faced with this challenge, humans on New Theia delved into advanced technology to create artificial lifeforms known as synthetics. These synthetics, designed to match the intelligence of the smartest humans, were governed by strict rules imposed by their creators. These rules, essentially caps on their capabilities, ensured that even after the decline of the human population, their influence persisted through the synthetics. Rumors circulated about higher-ups having their minds uploaded to the AI, perpetually monitoring New Theia beyond their own mortality. By the 21st century, humans on New Theia were reduced to scattered hamlets, often hiding in mountains, forests, or countrysides, regardless of gender-specific territories. The relationship between the remaining humans and synthetics became strained, marked by fear and distrust. Despite the tension bet men and womekind, a semblance of interaction existed through small trade ports across the Triumphant Bay. The Memento watchtower and border, owned by Covonunia, served as a focal point where the two regions met, reflecting the delicate balance between humanity and the artificial lifeforms on New Theia.   Description   New Theia, a world draped in the ethereal beauty of perpetual winter beyond their map, embraces a solarpunk-inspired landscape where nature intertwines seamlessly with advanced technology. The settlers chose to establish their communities along a vast bay that gracefully cleaves Enuthal and Covonunia in half. The architecture of New Theia mirrors the solarpunk ethos, with structures adorned with lush greenery and vibrant flora that thrive even in the frosty embrace of winter. Solar panels and wind turbines harness the planet's renewable energy, creating a harmonious balance between nature and technology. The settlers ingeniously blend functionality with aesthetics, embracing eco-friendly materials and sustainable practices in their construction. Advanced technology permeates every facet of life on New Theia, where sophisticated robots gracefully coexist with the inhabitants. These robots, designed to perform tasks that synthetics prefer not to handle, contribute to the efficiency and well-being of the community. Solar-powered drones gracefully glide through the crisp winter air, assisting with various chores and maintenance, while intelligent algorithms optimize energy usage and resource distribution. The bay itself becomes a bustling hub of sustainable transportation, featuring electric ferries that traverse its icy waters. Floating gardens, create a mesmerizing display of light against the snowy backdrop during the quiet cold nights.   Culture   In New Theia, a harmonious blend of nature and advanced technology shapes a unique culture. Residents embrace solarpunk principles, promoting sustainability and eco-conscious living. The community values self-sufficiency, with citizens actively participating in cultivating floating gardens, harnessing solar energy, and minimizing waste. Artistic expressions often feature futuristic designs inspired by nature, showcasing a utopian vision. The cultural ethos emphasizes collaboration between synthetics and intelligent robots, creating a society that thrives on innovation, and a shared commitment to a better, more sustainable future in their winter world.
