Factions (Greater)

"The Organizations"

General Description:

A collective of various organizations that came together and founded Nightport many years ago. They also remotely control Cloud City. Each organization has their own inner structure and laws that vary drastically, but the "law of the land" typically applies to outsiders. The leaders or representatives of each organization come together to collectively discuss affairs and make decisions. Despite their piratical ancestry, they're really quite civil...usually.

The Clock War

General Description:

A greasy civil war between the Empire and the Expansion fought by over artificially-intelligent clockwork servants. As the decadence of the noble houses grew, so did technology to meet its needs, culminating in the creation of clock-men designed to serve every whim. They started as toys and status symbols in court, but soon began to replace people in several menial jobs. After an isolated incident of supposed insubordination, the Empire outlawed clock-men and destroyed all the soldiers they made. Some escaped and had to be hunted down. A few escape the Empire’s reach and hid in the more remote regions of the Expanse, while others made it all the way to the Free Worlds.

Locations

The major and minor places across the Wild Blue.

Locations

Adrift in the Blue

General Description:

The worlds of the Wild Blue float in a sky of breathable gases circling a small, cold star. Scholars believe that the star is made from pure Essence—the strange energy that sorcerers channel for their magic. This “solar system” is much smaller than you might think—it takes about six weeks to cross from one side to the other on a standard sky ship. Most of the worlds of the Empire are so closely positioned that it takes only a day or two to travel from one to another.

Major Territories Visited:

Locations

Cloud City

General Description:

All that remains of the Great Dwarven Nations, Cloud City is the ancestral home of the dwarves of The Cobalt Sisterhood. In modern day, it functions as an illegal mobile mining platform that doubles as a home for thousands. The city chases the large storms of the Wild Blue in hopes of easier access to the thick gases of the depths that get kicked up, which it then sells to the Free Worlds. With the right equipment, ships can mine these gases for pockets of diluted Essence. Chasing the storms can lead the city into Imperial skies and the occasional run-in with an Imperial cruiser.

Locations

Haven

General Description:

The most prominent of the Free Worlds. Here, in the sprawling city hubs, the Trade Union tries to impose some order on the bickering clans and factions of the Free Peoples. Slavery is outlawed here, so many ex-slaves make Haven their home.

Ilysium

General Description:

The capitol world of the Empire, home to the great noble houses. Ilysium is rich and decadent, attended by servants, slaves, and the elite bodyguards of the nobility.

Points of Interest:

Locations

Nightport

General Description:

Unlike other worlds, Nightport does not rotate, which means one face is always in darkness. It is on this side that pirates and smugglers have built a hidden port city in which to carry out their nefarious dealings. This hive of scum and villainy is a dangerous place, but almost anything may be bought or sold there, including secrets. There is a smaller, isolated settlement on the star-facing side of the world. This is jokingly referred to as "Lightport," because it's funny. Also because the pretentious elven researchers that reside there gave it a pretentious name that's difficult to pronounce.

Olympia

General Description:

The staging world of the Imperial Sky Fleet. From here, expeditions are launched into the colonial expanse and all across the Wild Blue. Olympia is also home to the finest brewers and distillers in the Empire.

The Lower Depths

General Description:

The heavier gases form a dense layer of fog below the “sky” of the Wild Blue. This fog is corrosive —people need to wear gas-masks to breathe and most airship hulls will start to corrode after a single exposure. Pirates and other criminals sometimes use the lower depths to evade Imperial patrols and launch raids from hiding. Unfortunately, the depths are home to sky squid and other monstrous things....

The Remnants

General Description:

A swirling maelstrom of spinning world-shards. The Remnants are almost impossible to navigate, even for the best airship pilots. It’s said that the pirate king, keeps his secret fortress somewhere deep within the Remnants and only those who know the secret of the true course can ever reach it.

Black Blade

General Description:

The Lifeblood Settlement on the Clockwork World

General Description:

Robot dinosaurs and honest nobles?!

Tales and songs:

There once was a brilliant and powerful noble man. One day he decided to venture out into The Wild Blue, driven to discover new territories and extend the empire's reach into the untamed Imperial Expansion. His goal was to found a new settlement to bring order to the chaos of this untamed region. He found a strange land, that was filled with bizarre clockwork wildlife. Even the plants were made of metal and glass. He and the kin of the Lifeblood lineage battled and slew these ancient beasts, their magic from the purity of their bloodline overwhelming the wilds and shaping it into their own image. The weight of the chaos being lifted, the new world ascended beyond the Roof of the World.

-Imperial Fairy Tale

Oh hey you of free land and sky,
Have you heard the tale of this noble guy?
The love he sough was deemed impure,
So death and exile were the only cure.
They burnt his wife and severed his head, And sent their children adrift, left for dead.
Lost and aimless in the Wild Expanse, They found salvation, a second chance.
Against metal (and) beasts that plagued the land,
'Twas their only chance, their final stand.
Their spirit and might and will and brawn, The settlers stood victorious, saw a new dawn.
Their new land was beautiful, fruitful and green,
But above all else they were finally free! Though short-lived and tragic,
They lost all rock lost it's magic,
To the depths they fell, as free men.

-Long Forgotten Free World Drinking Song

Usouwynn Hardbelt

General Information:

She is the daughter of one of the finest shipwrights in Nightport. While she specializes in restoring "recovered" ships, she and the other workers of the Hardbelt Shipyard are capable of creating fine vessels from the ground up. Usouwynn is almost always accompanied by two assistants, an elf and a gnome, who often bicker between themselves. She speaks in a hushed whisper, as if always trying to prevent others from overhearing her conversations. Some say that she easily holds a grudge, which might might lead some to believe that her husband stays with her because he's too afraid to leave.
