*No godmodding
*This will be a long term RP, so if you are going to leave it or be away PM me before doing so. If you do not reply in 5 days of your last post your profile will be suspended
*The setting is steampunk with limited magic. The world functions around steam powered inventions of modern times, but generally holds design and power of the gunpowder era. Magic is only used by few, and generally it conflicts with technology causing both to go awry.
*Keep things pg-13, Gaia ToS states this strongly enough and I'm making a reminder just in case you ignored it.
*The RP is set for a semi-literate level of style. At minimum I expect 3-5 sentences per post with basic spelling and grammar. l33sp34k will not be permitted outside of OOC as well as asterisks for use for actions. Write as if you were writing a novel. One liners are permitted only occasionally to make up for writer's block.
*To indicate Out Of Character chat in posts use a symbol at the start and end of the OOC chat. (Like this).
*Murder of fellow characters should be avoided unless permitted. NPCs generally may be killed freely with some exceptions.
*Have fun
*Cussing allowed, not encouraged to be done excessively.
*Any questions or suggestions must be PMed to Dark-Rahh
*My time of activity generally is from the afternoon to late evening. Expect my responses done in that time frame.
*At the top of your profile,not in the subject, put the word 'Kaboom!' to state you have read the rules
*If needed more rules will be added stressed

Serperena: Dry, arid, the land is an endless desert. Scattered throughout are spontaneous plateau formations in which people had settled due to their curious capability of maintaining fertility for cultivation. Even with these hotspots the majority of the population works on manual labor, craftsmanship or trade depending on a fixed city life or a roaming, nomadic lifestyle. Famous for is it's advancements in smithing; Serperenian blacksmiths are able to forge the most refined and resilient tools and blades. With the finest armaments of war, Serperena funds one of the strongest and largest armies.
Que-Terra: The country of the northwest is temperate and mainly scattered plains and forests, avoiding the tundra fate of the neighboring Prointum with the influence of its expansive coast. The east hosts most of the little mountains Que-Terra has, but from these mountains start a wide expansive river network that branches throughout. The Que-Terrans trade through these routes and use the most out of irrigation to create large acres of varied cash crops. Goods gained from the savvy are traded all over Merandii.
Pacergni: A warm climate. Pacergni is endless, lush plains with the occasional forest and lake. Rich in nutrients, the land is fertile and very worthwhile for agricultural work. The two primary goods harvested are grains and hops: driving factors to the leisured lifestyle of the inhabitants.
(Note: the large town if Initium will be the starting place for the RP. Most characters should end up here at some point)
Prointum: A frigid, cold, cruel tundra with dotted mountain ranges throughout. Many dangerous creatures live and prey on the herbivorous animals that scrounge and migrate. Game is a popular source of food and entertainment and cultivation of prized, potent fruits produce sustenance. Deep in the mountains, various ores and gems hide beneath the towering monoliths waiting to be claimed by the local populace.
Ciendia: If not for the advancements of technology, the main aspect noteworthy about Ciendia is the rolling hills of the land, but Ciendia is known for its sprawling and expansive cities and towns built on top of the leveled hilltops. Each city is filled with technological wonders to maintain and expand innovation. As a result of the expansion some parts of the land have been depleted causing some negativity from those in proximity to the loss.
Maeguelium: An endless forest, it seems that the land occupying Maeguelium has willingly worked to keep the residents hidden. With many strange, unique creatures it becomes fairly obvious to the outside viewer that the magically oriented people has exerted influence back at the l and. Nevertheless, it is best to avoid entering Maeguelium unless an invitation is in order.
The Great Desert:Barren land expanding endlessly east. Although no one who has traveled the desert and returned alive there are some groups of peoples who claim to have originated from beyond the desert.
The Forbidden Zone: An area isolated and contained by all peoples of Merandii. Due to a magical incident 400 years ago the area became corrupted and perverse: all life was turned into undeath. The area is blocked and warded off and militant forces occupy in the area to ensure no threat manages to creep out to the populace.

Below are the cultural groups of Merandii. This is not a full representation of people who exist in the land: other races over time have integrated and made their way into the different societies.
Serperenians
Cold, dark, mischievous, the Serperenians have spent centuries in the cruel desert lands. Nationally they have adopted an overall stoicism and tolerance to negativity and hardships resulting in a lack of compassion. An easy observance of this can be seen by Serperenian politics by the nobility who, until recently, undermine each other using deceit to oust competition in order to advance their own power. Generally they hold favor toward technology involved with explosives and large flying zeppelins. Natural craftsmen, Seperenian goods are known to be of the highest quality: nothing less than perfection.
Que-Terrans
Ciendians
Pioneers into the world of technology, Ciendians started the Age of Steam and since then it's been their world. Industrious and innovative, their large cities and countless labs spawn over 80% of industry and research in Merandii. The most free and eccentric in thought, Ciendians live in a democratic government where the people use representatives to make many key decisions.
Maeguelians
A cloistered group, the Maeguelians are a diverse mixture of other cultures mixed into a new class. Opposition to the explosive expansion of the Age of Steam, the Maeguelians have isolated themselves as much as they could from the rest of the world and spend most of their time in three magic colleges where the Mage Council makes its decisions and plans. As their focus is on magic, they are sensitive to magic and capacity for using it. Trained for success, Maeguelians, in their quest for self-perfection, are often perceived as acting superior to other groups
Prointens
In the cold, harsh tundra of Prointum the people live daily struggling to survive. Very few are capable of a wealthy life. The majority are middle lower or lower class while they are held in power by the royalty who spend their time searching for adventure and escapes from politics. Even with the reduced society the people are culturally prominent. Many famous works of Merandii originated from Prointen hand, and loyalty is above all else to a Prointen making them the most worthwhile of friends.
Pacergnians
A once a calm and peaceful society of farmers, the Pacergnians thrived on the plentiful bounty of the land. Generally joyful, Pacergnians spend most of their time in entertainment venues when finished with the farm. Though with the recent invasion of Serperenians the people have slowly grown resentful over their forced rule and rumors of a resistance whisper here and there in the scattered taverns that are now a sullen place: a loss from the usual jolly and friendly atmosphere.
