Market

Also known as the "Grand-Market" or "Market-City" is an independent city state ran by a Patron which has a seedy reputation as a haven for both corruption and commerce.

The Lowborn

The most popular watering hole and dive in the center of the market sprawl favored by warriors, merchants, criminals, hired hands other 'independant entrepreneurs' of all sorts. A corkboard on the wall promises endless jobs, some of them honest offers and others traps for the gullible: Opportunities to join various empirical militias around the globe, fishing and hunting gigs, seeking weapons for hire, transportation and protection. The bartender [NPC] is a tall, strong and stout woman of dark hair inexplicably known to the patrons as 'Goliath'. Rooms are for rent on the top floor and highly prized clean and hot food is a legendary service the establishment is rightly proud of.

Vasten Ocean

Vaasten is the only body of water on Sanctum with access to all continent. Known for its dangerous, choppy waters and storms, blessed with plenty of yield for fisheries, cursed with fantastic beasts of legend and riddled with numerous gangs of pirates and traders. Several nations understand it is wise to guard their coasts connected to Vaasten waters

Haluud Trading Outpost

A proxy territory island of the Black Sun Empire; includes a small nation of indigenous which have been partially annexed by House Maur. There is a small maritime militia of the empire residing on the island but mostly they police the shipments, seafaring bodies and stores of goods and supplies. BS jurisdiction does not extend to the water and the island of Haalud is known for being dangerous, a hot house of organized crime and human trafficking and quite chaotic.

Arthis

An uncolonized island once home to an ancient and forgotten Empire. Resource rich, but dangerous to outsiders it serves as a large frontier of Vasten. Though possibly sparsely inhabited the flora and fauna on Arthis are so vicious that even the closely neighboring empires and settlements have learned to keep clear of its coasts.

Lu`Rae

The crown jewel and capitol of the Celesin Imperium, Lu’rae is an illustrious sky city of unparalleled beauty. The core body is orbited by two smaller islands while the city is in free roam but despite the wandering nature of the sky city it may always be accessed through the travel gates located at the docking tower. Lu’rae serves not only as the capitol city and home to Celesin elite, but as an interstellar ship and mobile fortress of unprecedented power; capable of halting attacks of galactic proportions or serving as a base of operations for Celesin’s larger conquests.

Novus Orsa

Edge Outpost

Edge-Outpost was developed by Fenris of Olfwood as a means of maintaining vigilance upon the borders of the Imperial-Frontier near Novus Orsa. It is relatively small and can serve as a place of trade as well as a safe-haven for travelers.

Geo-Forge

The Science division of GREIL; a huge geo-chamber spreading wider than the sprawl of the city itself and three miles below the surface. Konstantine creates and manages nearly all concepts and construction, weapon's development, astro/terran/maritime vehicle construction and GREIL testing grounds. The geo-forge has one entrance: a docking port rising through a hollow cliff with a bay facing the sea away from the view of greater Novus Orsa.

The Crawl

A series of tunnels under Novus Orsa. Some lead to dead ends, others to homes of vagrants, snipes, criminals and pop-up black markets where one can buy anything: even a hit on someone. Many of the gangs in Novus Orsa use the junction chambers as lairs, others to smuggle or even hide from the Alis who act as constables for the city. One well guarded tunnel leads directly to the Edge Outpost.

Maur Secundus

Maur Secundus is one of the smallest of the seven Providences in the continental Black Sun and considered the capital lands of the empire; also known as the Crown's second home. Along with Port Sedaris; one of only two sea born entrances allowing foreign travel other than dignitaries and commerce it boasts the ancient Maur-Isa palace built by the ruling bloodline nearly two thousand years ago. The surrounding city-state is known for its beauty, thematic architecture in aqua and gold, an old and warm culture. International émigré are sparse and usually students of the Maur university. However, tourism is not unheard of.

Sadjeem's Bazaar

A world famous, many miles wise and sprawling bazaar offering the finest goods the empire produces from each provincial House and city state along with exotic imports from all over Sanctum. Unlike the overwhelming majority of the empire, Sadjeem's stronghold of commerce can be found teeming with people of all races and walks of life as it dominates the Port of Maur. One can find expensive Konstari silks, legendary slippers and baubles from Shiia, weapons and even some of the Black Sun's air-faring vehicles. The Bazaar is as much on the glistening stones of Maur Secundus as it is on enormous junk style boats with connected walkways. The richest figured in all of Sanctum have been known to import food and goods from Sadjeem's.

Kresh'alam Dor

The Capital of The Dorian Empire. Situated on the planet Y'ghatan, the gleaming spires of Kresh'alam Dor are a wonder to behold. The multi-tiered city stretches from thousands of feet in the air, to hundreds of feet underground. The day the path ways are empty, is the day the empire has died.

Renegade Station #9

The Jungle Home of the Vicelings, with an ecosystem similar to prehistoric earth, and animal life to match. The Organic cities of this planet are renowned for being a place where ANYTHING can be bought. For the right price.

The Heralds Spear

The name for the Galaxy which the Dorian Empire controls. Hundreds upon hundreds of liveable planets populate this section of space. From the Mountainous Rykrea, to the Spore Storms of Martyr. The fringes hold their own horror's, rebels and men gone mad, sometimes both. Explore the fringe at one's own risk.

Heaven's Blade

Located on planet "Rose Decidua" within the Herald's Spear - A newly constructed fifteen story spire containing a night club with three floors [The Floor, the Lounge and the Third tier], a casino and general gambling hall, a Bordello for those with expensive tastes and finally: the top three floors are a pent house belonging to the proprietor: King Nebuchadnezzar.
