Foslitonn

INFINITE UNIVERSE

This world holds a ring of land around a bright core without edge. The sky displays only shades of grey because colour does not exist here at all.

Silence pools in low places and presses against walls until the heavy air crushes those who breathe too hard. Loud noises push physical objects while quiet zones remain still under the weight of ambient sound.

The Land and Its History

Civilisation has fallen twice and each collapse left a layer of ruins the next one mined.

from Treatise on Silence Pressure, by Ficlionn, chronicler

The ground yields water from deep aquifers since rain has not fallen in living memory across the land. Factories run day and night while smoke rises visibly toward the gate near Cifall on the island chain.

Debris Strata
Three distinct layers remain accessible to current miners who dig through ancient ruins; a fourth layer exists beneath them but remains unmined and unknown.
Native Life
Most living things here were brought through the gate until native refuges survive only in deep caves.
02

Economy and Authority

Authority rests with those who pass the examinations regardless of origin.

from The Account Book of Aquifers, by Riasluird, factor

Animals bred here are sold through the gate because native life survives only in a few deep caves. Waste is processed by machines built under this world's own physics until imported machinery stalls until rebuilt locally.

Trade Goods
Factory workers pay extra for masks to avoid crushing lung pressure in silence pools while miners buy filtered air canisters at high prices near Glotoll.

Peoples

  1. One of the Fineafea
    01

    Fineafea

    Amphibian, newt-like
    Alignment
    They remain neutral yet selfish over water rights.
    Economy
    Most breed amphibians for export while others sell air canisters to those crushed by silence pools.
    Governance
    Elders rule through exams, water rights and trade deals.
    People
    Fineafea wear yellow cloaks marked with black gill patterns to identify tribe members swimming in polluted aquifers or safe zones.
    Looks
    They stand with newt-like limbs and webbed feet, black and yellow skin marked by feathery external gills that flutter near cave tanks.
  2. One of the Nibria
    02

    Nibria

    Stooped and long-armed, stone-grey hide
    Alignment
    Lawful evil factions control water pumps and starve unpaid neighbors.
    Economy
    They earn wealth by controlling pumps, selling drops to outsiders and mining stone from ancient ruins.
    Governance
    Examinations let poor people lead in Druironn.
    People
    Their stooped posture and long arms help operate heavy valves near pumps while stone-grey hide reflects dim light inside caves where second eyelids protect eyes.
    Looks
    Stone-grey hide covers stooped, long-armed bodies marked by second eyelids under loose linen tunics, with a heavy stone pump handle in hand.

The Way Out

The gate stands inside the biggest market on the world near Cifall. Those who pass the examinations rule whatever their birth may be.

Examination Requirements
The examination requires a written test on trade laws followed by a physical endurance trial lasting six hours.
