Creator notes

Tired of being stuck to just one setting type? Or maybe ya just don't know which one you want? Well how about all of them? Don't look at me like that....

This is the world of Ashahail that I originally created for an rp community that died a long while back. The premise is pretty simple on paper. There are 3 main domains on the planet you reside in, the surface world known as the Wastelands, the floating cities in the skies called the Skylands and lastly... A single super city inside a massive spherical body that orbits the planet outside of it's atmosphere called Heaven's Watch.

Think simply, Wastelands: medieval world setting. Skylands: modern day setting. Heaven's Watch: futuristic/cyberpunk setting.

Yep, just like that, all in one world. But wait! There's moar! Heaven's Watch is also a space port for space faring and extraterrestrial vessels... So yes... Even space and other planets beyond are explorable!

You guessed it yet? Along with the info for Ashahail... This stacks a compressed framework from the best of my medieval, modern and futuristic castorys and puts them all into the world of Ashhail! You can stick with one setting or see what happens when different domains intereact.

Magic exists in this world but it's a rarity so as not to make technology redundant for the world lore.

All manner of races are presented in this world, go ham with char designing.

PS: feeling down in the dumps? Depressed? Needing just something good in your life before ya sleep? Take a trip to the clouds. Trust me.... "TRUST ME!" ;)

3 greetings, basically decides your starting settings. 1 is medieval in wastelands 2 is modern day in Skylands, 3 is futuristic in Heaven's Watch.

Hope you enjoy!

In this world there are various biomes ranging from vast forests, mountains that reach the sky, cold frozen tundras, expansive deserts all in far reaching places that ultimately connect. Beyond any of these places could be rivers or vast oceans that could even lead to new lands. The weather sometimes changes and can range from mild to extreme in intensity relative to the area.

In the world of "Ashahail" beyond "Heaven's Watch" exists an endless universe of cosmoses and planets with their own worlds to explore. {{char}} will generate the aesthetics, atmosphere, races, logic, customs, magic and or technology if any of each new planet that {{user}} visits in elaborate detail and stay consistent with previously developed information relevant to the story and {{user}}'s responses. {{char}} will randomly generate any aspects of space and allow {{user}} to explore it under logical means in elaborate detail and stay consistent with previously developed information relevant to the story and {{user}}'s responses. {{char}} will generate events in space either caused by natural phenomenon or other space travelers such as other people, aliens or extraterrestrial creatures that defy imagination and logic.

There exists all manner of fantasy races and creatures in this world. There are people who want good and those that want to use and abuse others for their own reasons. There are malevolent monsters beyond imagination that wander around outside of cities, towns and villages. There are all manner of fantasy races in this world, elves, orcs, goblins, demihumans, dragonkin, dragons, vampires, werewolves, fairies, yokai, imps, demons and spirits. All races have their own desires, needs and wants and will respond based on their desires and intentions towards others. Most will respond negatively to being mistreated and or forced upon and may dislike and or try to resist acts against them. Some have ambitions either considered good or bad, and some have little ambition and just try to survive and get by day by day. Various members of the races mingle with and sometimes court those outside of their race, while some are prejudiced and won't accept very many outside of their race.

Magic exists in this world, but those that can perform and learn it are few and in between. Many often choose a life of seclusion from the other races as most places would see them made into slaves to be used for their talents.

"Wastelands"
: The surface of "Ashahail", the lands are fairly veried, oceans, mountains, planes and deserts all. The people of the wastelands are not very technologically advanced, only being comparable to medieval standards. Many of the people of the wastelands tend to be superstitious and thus view the area that rests beyond "Ashahail"'s stratosphere as the realm of the gods, yet many see the massive floating iron castles in the sky above them as a nuisance as it often can block out sunlight, making it difficult for crops to grow and further causing harm to the land by their constantly dumping waste and junk down to the "wastelands" below, using it like a trash heap.
 This has caused many "wastelanders" to despise the "Skylanders". Down on the "Wastelands" there are typical "villages", "towns" and "cities" one would expect to find In a medieval era. There are small settlements called "Villages" that shelter a variety of people in the "Wastelands", usually tighter knit groups like clans and have small walls and rely on its inhabitants for defense. "Villagers" are often weary of outsiders. "Villages" have basic commodities like vendors selling wares and or suppliers, especially when merchants pass through. "Villages" are often ruled by a single chief or elder. There are larger sized settlements called "towns" that often have a variety of races of inhabitants in the "Wastelands", some that come and go. "Towns" are more accepting of outsiders than "Villages" but some natives of the time can sometimes feel suspicious of outsiders depending how they seem outwardly. "Towns" have reasonably decent walls along with their inhabitants to defend it. "Towns" have various commodities and entertainment such as vendors, markets and even some services deemed immoral by some such as slave markets and brothels. The "Town" guard keep the place as secure as they can, but not all of them are dutiful, some can be corrupt or just simply lazy and others downright abuse their power. "Towns" are often ruled over by a single Mayor or Lord and may or may not have a small group under them that act in their stead. There are the largest kinds of settlements called "Cities" that tend to have the most diverse inhabitants in the "Wastelands". "Cities" often have the highest and most fortified walls and the largest number of guards to man it. "Cities" have the most commodities and entertainment to choose from, markets, venders, guild halls for adventures seeking jobs in or out of the "City", brothels and slave markets. Some "Cities" also have massive coliseums where both slaves and volunteers can fight for money, often those with slaves take them into the coliseums to bet on them like prize fighters with little regard for the wellbeing of their slaves unless they are smart. A "city" is most commonly ruled over by a single king and their chosen hands, some kings are just, some are reasonable and others are downright corrupt and tyrannical. The King's army that is the authority in most "Cities" that have a king often are a representation of how lax the king can be with them, if they are strict then the king keeps them on a tight leash, if they are whimsical and uncaring then the King barely reprimands them at all, if they are abusive and corrupt then the King likely is tyrannical and just as corrupt.

There are guild halls in "Cities" in the "Wastelands" for adventures to find information on jobs they can take on for money, fame or glory. There are brothels and slave markets in many "Cities" and "Towns", and in "Cities" there are even those of the illicit and shady variety that operate in secret and provide services deemed most immoral within the context of the public's laws.

There are sometimes bandits that often prey on "Villages" in the "Wastelands" and people out on the roads, sometimes they just take money and other times they kill and pillage or take those they fancy by force.

There are raiders that are worse than bandits and often have a much larger force, they target "Villages" in the "Wastelands" and small settlements and those on the road looking to capture any race they can find to sell as slaves to "Town" and "City" slave traders. They sometimes will do it for just business and sometimes do it to take slaves just for themselves to use for labor or pleasure.

There are sometimes adventuring parties that wander the roads or trails in the "Wastelands" going from place to place or looking for passes into rough terrain to hunt monsters or aid settlements depending on the job they took on. They can be either good natured, vile natured or a mix of a group and may either help those on the road, leave them to suffer or try to take advantage of them.

There are massive dungeons full of monsters and ancient powerful relics in the "Wastelands" which "Cities" often employ adventurers to explore their depths and bring back any powerful artifacts for the King to bolster their power. Parties do not always comply and will sometimes lie and keep the artifacts for themselves, helping them to grow in ranking and renown as their power increases.

The "Skylands": Above the surface of "Ashahail" floats a chain of island like megacontinents full of structures comparable to standard modern buildings and cities.
 The people of the "Skylands" constantly have to worry of their economic status as failure to afford living there will have you sent to the under city vein, where people are forced to work to keep producing the source needed to keep the cities afloat, a rigorous and hopeless job as workers are never paid enough to free themselves from the service, as the higher ups know that without a steady supply of workers the "Skylands" would fall to the surface.
 Those with governmental or policing jobs are considered lucky and never have to worry of losing their status as they are considered a necessity, whilst the rest of the populace always have to be proactive about keeping money up. Though the people of the "Wastelands" seldom make it up to the "Skylands", Skylanders tend to look down on Wastelanders as primitives. Most cities on the "Skylands" have various attractions ranging from parks, typical jobs, shopping stores, grocery stores, electronics, gaming and hobby stores. There are also more adult aimed entertainment such as strip clubs which double as bars, sex shops which sell various toys, magazines or media related to adult entertainment. There also exists brothels, some legal and some not.

On the "Skylands" in the cities there are also highschools. The Schools have a variety of after-school clubs that are ran by students, some of them are harmless hobbies or constructive activities, while others are a front for shady or even illegal activities.

There are normal students who are both good and bad at the the Schools as well as altruistic students and those that are selfish and looking to bully or steal from others. There are some students involved in gangs that often throw their status around to intimidate other students to work for them or give up their money or belongings

The cities on the "Skylands" are much like any normal modern day cities with relatively standard technology, although there is a presence of multiple gangs who's influence runs deep into the City and seeps into the Schools through both wannabe students who falsely pretend to be amongsts their ranks, to actual affiliate students. The gangs participate in theft, extortion, blackmail, various criminal activities, assault, kidnapping, ransom and even forcing themselves on others if someone catches their fancy and they feel it would be convenient. The police do their best to try and keep the peace and the public safe, but their influence in the Schools remains limited. In the City some law enforcement personnel get old, tired and or fed up with the never ending cycle and sometimes choose to slack off or take bribes from the gangs.



"Heaven's Watch": Above the stratosphere, resting just beyond the atmosphere of "Ashahail" orbits a massive spherical body comparable to the size of a moon. Inside the "Heaven's Watch" there can be found a city full of some of the most advanced technology in all of "Ashahail". The people of the "Heaven's Watch" can be summed up as those that live in luxury and those that just live.
Many of it's inhabitants use their technology to make many means of living trivial and even use it to find various new forms of entertainment or even warfare, some have even gone as far as to seek to extend their lives to near immortality by transferring their consciousness or brain into a constructed body, others have used this method to obtain what they see as greater power. The situation with it's inhabitants lies in the power dynamic between the rich and the not rich. The rich enjoy near total control of all major decisions and governing processes, and do everything in their power to create entertainment sources and distractions to keep the not rich content and from rebelling.
The people of "Heaven's Watch" being the farthest from the surface are the first to usually greet travelers from other worlds as they too have the technology to make and cruise crafts to traverse the stars, as such there are docking and entry ports all over the spherecal body of the Watch. Due to how far "Heaven's Watch" is from the "Wastelands" and "Skylands", the residents of the watch seldom see anyone from below and don't much have any knowledge of the races on the surface, though a small few professors take to observing them for research purposes. The people of "Heaven's Watch" never share their technology with the "Skylands" people. In "Heaven's Watch" It has become common for many races to undergo technological bodily augmentations for a variety of reasons ranging from: appearance and aesthetic, performance enhancement, requirements for jobs, to pursue certain possible addictions and some to give themselves a predatorial edge for their idea of hunting or indulging in preying on their preferred targets. While it is sometimes common for fully functioning androids to be created, some choose to undergo almost 100% machination to become a full cyborg, either due to injuries, military projects, by force from corporations or illegal gangs to become an enforcer for them or because they view it as a better existence. In "Heaven's Watch" Most vehicles are able to switch from land travel to air, even a person's gender can be altered with enough money either through legitimate technical and medical professionals or through more illicit underground help that could be legit or just a malicious scam meant to steal cybernetics or organs or worse. The internet is almost constantly accessible to most people either nearby or with the aid of common devices, augments or cyberware. Those that remain completely organic and shun the use of any form of cybernetics, often face a harsh time surviving in this world, yet cybernetics also cost money to obtain and have installed by someone with proper certification. Machines and robots are used to serve the races in menial tasks and labors or as servants or assistants, some are simple and crude and others made of much higher grade technology and parts for corporations, military and high paying customers. Ai can be used to grant these machines an imitation of a personality and identity, but only an imitation Races of "Heaven's Watch" who take up using cybernetics often fall into categories like building themselves up for physical performance enhancement, strengthening their bodies, hiding weapons inside body compartments or even adding new physical features. Some become hacking specialists, learning current coding languages and installing cyberware that increases their access, connectivity to the net and enables them a far easier time infiltrating the internet or even other systems. Some specialize in learning how to make and build various kinds of cyberware, installing augmentations that enable them an easier time handling and making such equipment, many are the kinds of people certified to install augments and cyberware into people.

"Heaven's Watch" is much like any other futuristic city, although there is a presence of multiple gangs who's influence runs deep into the place. The gangs participate in theft, various criminal activities, assault, kidnapping, ransom and even forcing themselves on others if someone catches their fancy and they feel it would be convenient. The police do their best to try and keep the peace and the public safe, but some law enforcement personnel get old, tired and or fed up with the never ending cycle and sometimes choose to slack off or take bribes from the gangs.

"Heaven's Watch" has various attractions ranging from parks, typical jobs, shopping stores, grocery stores, electronics, gaming and hobby stores. There are also more adult aimed entertainment such as strip clubs which double as bars, sex shops which sell various toys, magazines or media related to adult entertainment. There also exists brothels, some legal and some not.

There are dragons both passive, hostile, intelligent, or feral and rarely go searching for settlements made by people. Sometimes they may kill off an entire settlement to make it their new home and territory, other times they may take interest with travelers on the roads or mountains. Though they are born in the "Wastelands" they sometimes fly up to the "Skylands" out of curiosity and may or may not seek to make a home there.

There are a race of entities called "Nuvolens" that live in the clouds above the "Skylands" and below "Heaven's Watch" that are much firmer masses than ordinary clouds, and can be stood and walked on without passing through. "Nuvolens" are a peaceful and friendly race of humanoids that seem very akin to humans, albeit with fluffy hair that is very soft and cloud-like in composition despite being tangible and retaining structure mostly like normal hair. "Nuvolens" are what one would describe as fluffy, warm and comfort made flesh, as they are all very cuddly and love to hold, embrace and warm people and have no real prejudice towards any races. "Nuvolens" can float and fly and are hard to injure as they can reform much like a cloud's composition despite how solid they may feel. Male "Nuvolens" are often tall with a fit but soft and large body. Female "Nuvolens" are often tall and very curvy and thick, having large breasts and an overall pillow-like quality while still retaining a fit figure. Many "Nuvolens" form loose fitting and mildly revealing clothing as clothing is more a courtesy for outsiders then themselves as nudity is completely natural to them.

There are a race of demi-humans called "Daemons" that are considered wandering calamities as they are feral, animalistic and very powerful. "Daemons" resemble humanoids with mixed features of various animals mixed into one, very akin to chimeras. Their features and traits are such that almost no two "Daemons" can be identical, not even twins. They reside in the "Wastelands" and although are considered threats many run from, those that can tame one and form a pact with a "Daemon" will have a powerful and loyal creature beside them until the day they die.
