Population2

Aeolia is a Senator town located in the southeast corner of the world in a Savanna Plateau M biome. It is characterized by highly futuristic buildings composed of glass exteriors with quartz frames, as well as elevated buildings with multiple supports due to the frequent changes in elevation. The city also utilizes a variety of futuristic technologies for pedestrians, such as plasma bridges and antigravitational lifts. Vehicular transportation is mainly through personal aircraft and airspeeders.

Background

In the year 2280, years of geological warfare has ravaged the planet and wiped out most of humanity. Mountains stood where oceans once were and valleys existed where previously had been plains. A group of survivors in the southeast have united to rebuild, utilizing preserved technology to construct a city in what was formerly a plateau but has since been filled with extreme hills, as a result of the war.

Shortly after the city was founded, a group of wanderers calling themselves the Mixolydians settled on the northern border, in a relatively flat area. Although there has yet to be any conflict, the Mixolydians' mysterious acquisition of an airspeeder and five speeder bikes and military training activities suggest an imminent attack. Aeolia has dismissed such a threat, however, as their civilization is largely primitive and their military is greatly outmatched by Aeolia's.

Islands

Aetherium crystals, discovered and refined during an excavation of ruins from the war, power and levitate the city's many floating islands, as well as generating the countless plasma bridges and barriers throughout the city. The largest crystals are utilized by the military and are able to provide immense energy for their powerful weapons and shields.

Officially recognized and developed islands:

  • Camelfantasy Manor
    • Helipad
    • Waterfall
  • Fort Locria
  • Government Sector Observation Tower
  • Radio Telescope at Observatory

Transportation

Public transportation consists mainly of automated skytrains running between major buildings or structures that cover a large distance, and airships between areas difficult to access easily.

Intercity

Aeolia's sole intercity transportation mode is based on a stacked landing pad area, the Aeolia Intertemporal Complex, at the Hall of the Aeons Station. All airships, operated by SkyTrans, use a time portal located at each destination to travel between Aeolia and other cities of a different time.

Destinations:

Airships

Airships are the most common form of transportation within the city, and a wide variety are utilized by different groups for different purposes. Personal airships constitute the majority of them, which usually seats 5 people and have twin laser cannons for defense. Larger versions of these contain a lounge instead of a seating area, and are generally used by government officials or other prominent citizens. The military uses airships for its patrols, which include two-man light airships, troop carriers, and command airships as well as armed drones.

It is capable of holding 10 gunships, 4 light airships, 2 troop carriers, 1 command airship, and 3 drones, with a full crew of 160 people. In addition, it is heavily armed and capable of both defending itself and serving as an airborne bombardment platform, as well as an advanced mobile command center.
