[glow=red,2,300]Places of Kaia[/glow]

Anuradha-Mage City

Anuradha is the Magic capital of the world. It is almost complete void of all mechanical and electronic anything and everything runs by some sort of magic. The city is somewhat old fashion in appearance and is kept very clean for the most part. The city is headed by Grand Magus Kalin Baton who keeps tight hold on the crime in the area. The residents are made up of mostly lowly a mages and rich merchant that has made the city the financial capital of the world. Despite the Grand Magus's best efforts a Mafia like crime ring has sprung up in the more neglected areas of the city but the Mages have been unable to root out its leader. They suspect the leader is some sort of powerful magi that has been able to cover his tracts and hide his presence from the authorities.

Machrin City- The Machine Haven

Machrin is to Machines as Anuradha is to the Mages. While Anuradha is clean and classy, Machrin is an industrial polluted nightmare to many networks of pipes machinery and factories. Anuradha may sell a lot of goods but Machrin is where those goods are created. The city is consists to two different levels. The upper level is for the higher-class citizens, the business owners, the factory managers, the entrepreneurs. The lower classes are the people who truly keep this city running. Some of them have never truly seen the light of day and work tirelessly to keep their homes. Although the undertown, as it is known as, is not really all that bad. The housing is standardized and overall living conditions are decent. However the undertown isn’t all decent. The air down there is very polluted and disease is very common. On top of that gangs run rampant through the sectors and some areas are completely controlled by specific groups. The local law enforcement is helpless to control the situation and some sectors are practically war zones.

The Wastes- the devastated wastelands left over from the war of magic against machine. The blue blooded elf’s used to live in this area, but they where scattered into Marchin and Aruandha after a massacre.

Ruins of Kantock- Ancient ruins of a race long dead. Kantock, as it is now known, is the only known city of an ancient race that seemed to be sun worshipers. Although their religion is regarded as false the place definitely has a magical feel about the air surrounding it and the architecture.

City of Panyon- Panyon is a human only city. Although the town offers services to travelers of all race passing through you have to be 100% human to own any sort of land. Despite its polite nature many of the residents don't like people of other races and look down upon them. Although the Mayor of the town tries to assure that they are friendly and open to all, an underground society comes out sometimes during he night and drives non humans out of town. Sadly the police force does nothing to stop it.

[glow=red,2,300]Religions of Kaia[/glow]

Every race in history has its own set of unique beliefs and customs which they can call their own. The world of Kaia is no different.

Kaia itself has its own set of gods that oversee the tiny specs that crawl around on its surface like small insects, or parasites depending on which one you talk to.
how devoted the people of Kaia are to their gods are depends on where you go. The farther west towards Anuradha the more religious the town folk tend to become, the east towards Machrin being the exact opposite. However these gods do exist whether the scum of Machrin likes it or not. The gods tend to ignore those who are non believers and don't bother wasting there time converting people when they have missionaries to do that for them.

Anur: Anur is the head honcho of the gods, sort of like the Greek equivalent of Zeus without the lightning bolts. He is not necessarily useful at all he just likes to think he his. He is basically a king and oversees all the other gods and acts as an enforcer to keep them doing there jobs. He is extremely powerful and can bend the other gods to his will which is why al ot of people suck up to him so much. Other then that Anur is fairly useless but you will never hear a believer say such a thing.

Ansim The god of war, or as close as you can get to one. Ansim is actually not the usual god of war which finds pleasure in seeing the heads of his enemies torn off in a bloody vicious slaughter, but more of a pacifist. He concerns himself more with preventing wars. Because the gods have no direct control over what the many citizens of Kaia actually do, it's up to him to keep them from annihilating each other through advice and counsel of the leaders of Anuradha who are the only ones who will listen to him. He is very wise in the ways of war and tries to help Anuradha arise victorious, although sometimes even he can be outwitted, that or the fool in command refused to listen to him.
