Hullmine

Hullmine. The crash site of a skyfleet, the island is mined for metal, salvage parts and the occasional technologically advanced artifact.

The Vortex. An ever-consuming vortex sits on the edge of the netherstorm, slowly devouring the ruins of the old city

The Dome. A hulking structure of iron and chrome-plated glass, The Dome is the ultimate expression of the opulence of high society.

Dunhole Prison. A towering metal fortress, where the worst (or most unlucky) criminals are incarcerated. Many are forced into labor near the vortex or the aether clouds.

Highrise. Once a steep hill on the outskirts of the old city, the floating island of Highrise is home to the institutions of higher learning in New Deconia

The Neon District. Under the shadow of a towering Bonsai Tree, the neon district is filled with aetheric lights, holograms and automata.

Goldmile. An island of chrome skyscrapers and even higher ambitions, Goldmile is the financial beating heart of the city.

The Bellows. One of the main industrial areas of the city, filled with factories, smokestacks and sooty cobblestones.

Bellweather. The administrative center of the city, concentrating the town hall, civic offices, courts of justice and record archives.

Oldtown. A run down area of derelict and abandoned buildings. The district is dotted with the old manor houses and villas of the Deconia nobility, converted into mouldy apartments and hideouts.

The Aetheryard. A custer of aether refineries, shipyards and factories that have emerged in the last decade to support etheric transport.

The Exchange. The port of entry for interplanar travellers and shipments. Most ethereals "live" and conduct their business here, amongst all maner of exotic and imported goods.

Southall.

Cabaret Boulevard. The arts and entertainment centre of New Deconia

Hellside. A abandoned remnant of the old city. At its centre lies the demon pit, where the demons of New Deconia are born.

Riptide Island.

The Reaches. An belt of floating islands filled with caves and hanging vines. The rural community here farms mushrooms and creepers to feed the city.

IRUVIA A land of black deserts obsidian mountains, and raging volcanoes. Some say that positions of power are openly held by demons in Iruvia. The people are generally dark-skinned and dark haired.

SEVEROS A land of windswept plains, covered in dark scrub and thorny growths. Outside the Imperial cities on the coast, some native Serverosi still live in free tribes, scavenging the death-lands on their ghost-hunting horses. They are generally dark-skinned and dark haired.

SKOVLAN A ragged land of cold mountains and rough tundra. Skovlan was the last holdout against Imperial control. They are generally pale-skinned and fair haired or red haired.

AKOROS A land of dark, petrified forests and rocky hills. The rich coastal cities get their wealth from leviathan hunting and from mining colonies deep inland. The Akorosi are sometimes called “Imperials” since the Imperium began there. They are generally fair-skinned and dark haired.

THE DAGGER ISLES A tropical archipelago covered in dense jungle growth; now turned dark and twisted from the strange magic of the cataclysm. Some say that the people there live without lightning barriers. How do they manage that? Native islanders are generally copper-skinned and dark haired.

TYCHEROS A far off land, disconnected from the Empire. People say the Tycherosi (rudely called “Strangers”) have demon blood in their lineage.

A Note About the World The shattered isles have wildly different climates due to magical forces left over from the cataclysm. The “water” of the Void Sea seems to be composed of opaque black ink, but it's possible to see constellations of shimmering stars far below the surface. The sun is a dim ember, providing only meager twilight at dawn and dusk; leaving the world in darkness otherwise. This was once a storybook fantasy world of magic and wonders, which was destroyed and an industrial civilization was built on top of the ruins. Don't expect scientific realism here.
