WELCOME TO YOUR NEW FACTION!
TIME TO EXPLORE
Welcome to three new cities! Now that your characters have access to new places, we wanted to give you all the information you need to start shaping the world of Abraxas. Each of these pages contains a basic outline of each city's setting and important people. Some of these people will be available for NPC interaction on the IC posts for each city.
Please feel free to learn about
Solvunn / The Free Cities / Nott
YOUR NEW FACTION
We know you may have questions about what a new faction means for your characters. Don't worry — we have written a guide to help you explore your options.
We would again like to stress that this world is yours to mold! We encourage you to do things like name the shops and create the NPCs that work in them! Dream up the things held in the museums. Decide what styles of clothing and food can be found. Anything you can think of! All we ask is that you keep the general setting and attitude of each locale intact. If you find yourself truly stumped as to whether something is allowed, please ask us.
NPC INTERACTION
For each new city post, we are offering NPC interactions! The available options are
At Castle Thorne, Jolene Sybell will be conducting the interrogations (with assistance from some angry guards). All characters will be interrogated, but the actual thread is optional. If your character wouldn't have much to say and isn't willing to flip on the others, they will be released without much hassle.
Due to mod availability, please take into consideration how your character would receive being interrogated before requesting an NPC thread. Handwaving is perfectly acceptable!
We will be accepting NPC threads until Friday, September 3rd at 11:59PM EST. If you have tagged the NPC thread by that time, you will receive a response! And please, remember that your mods are regular humans with full-time jobs, so while we will do everything in our power to tag expeditiously, your patience is appreciated.
THE HORIZON
And just as a note, please remember that characters cannot yet travel between cities, but they are welcome to visit each other in the Horizon! Characters who have not yet been there can be introduced to it via physical touch from a character who has been there and can take them there, and all first timers in the Horizon experience memory loss.

QUESTIONS
no subject
1. What's the legal system in Solvunn? Or is it less formal than that?
2. What, if any, organized crime is there in Libertas and/or Aquila? And how possible is it for Louis to weasel his way into becoming a manager of one of their businesses (probably by tipping them off to an existing manager stealing money from them)?
no subject
2. There's organized crime in all three of the Free Cities. Protection schemes, smuggling, black market drug rings... you'll find it all! While it's not very difficult to get in with any of these groups, they're slow to trust and need a lot of proof of commitment. But promotion from within is a time honored organized crime tradition, so it's an achievable goal for Louis to work toward! By working hard and earning trust, he could see a promotion in just a couple of months.

2) Hennessy and Ronan will be dreaming together by the time everyone gets rounded up and he would refuse to leave her side. Will he be able to persuade them to let her stay with him in his room until the interrogation process is over or will they both end up in the dungeon until they're questioned?

Re: QUESTIONS
1) Is it reasonable for characters to settle in any of the settlements/are they exempt from the "immigrants go to the tertiary settlement" rule?
2) Solvunn is described as having pretty short workdays and valuing free time culturally. Would they find it at all weird and distasteful for one of the new arrivals to put in much longer hours than everyone else? Or are they just kind of like "you do you" when it comes to that stuff?

A couple of questions about the Thorne NPC thread:
Kylo has been working with Thornean mages as discussed here, and the mod team had offered me suggestions for involvement which appeared to have an upcoming trigger point that seems in conflict with the way all characters remaining in Thorne are being treated. Should I go ahead and tag Jolene, or is there something else in the works?
If the plan is to have these things develop from that thread, could you let me know if Jolene had already been involved in Kylo's work?
Thanks!

2. Would offering to spend time teaching/babysitting be a valid form of barter? Or would we have to work our way up to such trust?
3. How far away would the Vermillion Court be from Aquilis? Given the mountain range between I'd assume it's a fairly perilous journey, but is there much word on the Feywilds in general FC gossip?

If, until he can figure out a way to make money, Stephen starts using his powers to commit minor magical fraud ie conjuring coins occasionally when he needs them, are there likely to be many people in the Free Cities who have a means of detecting that (and if yes will they care?) or is he likely to get away with it provided he doesn't push it too far?
(no subject)
no subject
Is there any way for characters to find out if they're still marked in this way? Or does the magic fade once they're outside Thorne's borders?

Re: QUESTIONS
Does Solvunn (or any of the other factions) have plumbing? If not, do they have magical alternatives?

Since Relena's 17, I'm trying to figure out if she's still in the 'school age' demographic or if she should be seeking work as a recognized adult. Mostly to just figure out what I should have her doing going forward there as she helps her little crew get established. Since it's fantasy land, I wasn't sure where she falls.

Re: QUESTIONS
2) If someone were to say, create some kind of useful item (a sword, or a plow, for example) via magic, would that be looked on favorably, or would they prefer something made through more traditional methods? Also, would their opinion change if it was something created for personal use versus something intended to be sold/bartered with?

I'm happy to come tugging your sleeve for specific questions, but am trying to avoid bogging y'all down with miscellaneous inquires/not boring you with my impulsive interpersonal plot ideas as much as is possible. Having a rough run down of what the IC expectations are for characters between events would be helpful to me.
Thank you!
