<h1>MAGIC AND TECHNOLOGY</h1>
|
||
<p>The juxtaposition of magic and technology is a powerful element of natural fantasy stories. Both have a light and dark side: magic is tied to natural elements, but it can also destabilize them, causing terrible catastrophes; technology – a reminder of the wars and destruction of the past – can be recovered and adapted, but it comes with the risk of repeating the same mistakes.</p>

<h2>The Necropolis</h2>
|
||
<p>The Necropolis is a chasm spanning the size of an entire region, that goes down into the depths of the earth. Inside, magical energy – usually too rarefied to sustain any Ritual – can be used in full. Scholars call this phenomenon <strong>tomb radiation</strong> and it becomes more powerful the deeper you go.</p>
|
||
|
||
<h2>Travel Through Nature</h2>
|
||
<p>Powered by a triple alchemical vapor-furnace and armed with massive steel spikes, automatic crossbows and mortars, the armored train crosses the vast forests of magical trees. It’s the only true connection between the various settlements of the region.</p>
|
||
|
||
<h2>Heroes of Many Sizes and Shapes</h2>
|
||
<p>The natural fantasy genre focuses upon the difficult journey toward coexistence and harmony; as such, the Player Characters represent a fundamental opportunity to show how representatives of different people and cultures can learn from each other and, in a spirit of mutual respect, fight for the future together.</p>

<h2>Protagonists</h2>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li><strong>Bomiri:</strong> A young moth-girl from Mangrove Village. After the death of her elderly mentor, she fully devoted herself to studying herbalism and medicine, in an attempt to find a cure for the disease that killed her.</li>
|
||
<li><strong>Lovisa:</strong> When she was twelve years old, Lovisa got lost in the crevasses of the Mora glacier and was almost devoured by a young nagadon who was trapped in a cave with her. Despite being afraid, she gathered food for herself and the hatchling, later preventing the rescuers from killing him. Now they are inseparable and they carry letters, medicines and information across the entire valley.</li>
|
||
<li><strong>Yalsi:</strong> Famous among Inner Sea nomads for his generous and slightly-too-exuberant character, Yalsi the thief is wanted by the imperial navy for daring to rob a high official: hidden amidst gold coins was a strange necklace, which looks awfully familiar to the metallic heads buried among the hills of Yalsi’s native village.</li>
