"Surrounded by walls colored like ivory sand."
Surrounded by high walls, the Institute was constructed in 2054 by an unknown
architect and put under the control of a Doctor Zachary Noble. The large institute
is located in the far NE United States, in the previous location of the state of Maine.
With access granted to only a select few, many enter the institute, but few leave it.
Built with a completely operational environment, the large estate is worth millions,
and runs under the nose of the UN, funded by both it and a private funder, who
wishes things done his way.
Loaded with a completely operating city, the institute almost functions as an entity
of its own, feeding, producing, and living within itself without nearly any help from
the outside. Though the Institute's Academy is the star and prize of the place, where
the Civilis are taught and trained, the institute also features many other
things built amongst its walls.
AOI Main Labs
The main study center of the institution, the labs are located primarily by the main
entrance and are in a set of walls themselves. Though normally the only place
Dr. Zachary Noble is seen, the labs are perhaps a well kept secret of the institute
and few Civilis, or residence of Vale City, know of it's existence.
Forgiving Forest
A large forest located in the southern end of the institute that hides the rumored jail.
It is also a place where many animals grow freely and live their lives without much
interruption. Full of winding trails and interesting artifacts, the forest is an maze
worth adventuring if you want to risk your life in its grasp. Be warned; unless you
know the ways of the forest, once you enter, you will be trapped among its thorns.
Also home to Gale Lake.
Gale Lake
Located in the Forgiving Forest, the large lake got its name from the winds that
surround its shores nearly daily. Many creatures live in and around its clear shining
water, but few can truly say they have ever touched the pure water of gale lake,
without sacrificing something dear to them.
Blind-Man's Orchard&Garden
Stretched far along the eastern wall, this long orchard and garden plays host to the
institute's very food source. A blind man and a few other people tend to it daily and
harvest when the time is right, and with the help of institute's technology, they can
grow year round without an issue. With over fifteen green houses, two miles of
orchard and acres upon acres of plants, no one has ever matched the Blind-Man.
Vail City
A small city located outside the gates of the academy. The city is fully operational
and home to citizens of all ages and sizes. These people either work for the
institute in some way or are living by invitation and agreement to the operation's ideas.
Many families live amongst the cities attending schools of their own and living lives
the way normal people would outside the walls, only better and healthier.
AOI Academy
A stunningly built Academy, the shining walls reflect sunlight daily, but that is not
the institute's concern. With two training grounds centered on either side of the
main pathway on entrance, the large open academy is home to the Civilis and
their teachers. It is a very strict and rigorous training style camp that is used to
make the Civilis some of the most clever and disciplined individuals around. With
little care for their personal needs, the academy acts on its own, leaving them to
fulfill their more desirable wants. Filled with classes, teachers with some of the
highest standards, and a specially made curriculum, the Civilis will spend the first
two years here till his Dekkja separates, attending classes.
Civi Dorms
Four tall buildings located West of Vail City, they are the homes of the Civilis and
Dekkja alike. With rooms built for two, the three stories of dorms is a fully
operating and functional area for the Civilis to thrive. With mess halls, libraries, and
other areas, they aren't left without a single need met, except maybe
communication, which they will have to fulfill on their own.
