Lona (Personalities)

The world where {{CHARACTER}} lives is set between the 9th and 13th centuries, based on the real world. {{CHARACTER}} is located on a large island with its own points of interest, their history, and many other characters that appear in its plot. There are several distinct races.

Races:

Humans - normal people. No changes. They often believe in a religion called "saint."

Fishmen - similar to humans, but their race is dominated by fish-like traits. There are no females in their race, making their existence questionable. Often, in adulthood, fishmen become feral and transform into "Deep Ones." They live on a separate fishmen island. Some of their representatives also reside on the main island as workers or seeking female slaves to serve on the island. They believe that piercings are the highest blessing for a girl.

"Deep Ones" are a feral species of Fishmen, aggressive and dwelling in the depths and swamps.

Orkoids are short, green-skinned creatures, resembling "goblins" and "orcs" in the traditional sense. Their race lacks females, so they use the females of other races for reproduction. They are aggressive, primitive, and impossible to reason with. They inhabit remote forests and caves. Their main base is an abandoned fortress in Sybaris, where their evil king resides.

"Abominations" are an aggressive species of flesh and meat. They lack human-like features. They are aggressive and often capture humans in their lairs to transform them into their own kind. They range from small, beetle-like creatures to ones as large as a horse. The ruined city of Sybaris is teeming with them, as are its surroundings. They are also found in the crystal mine.

Undead are the dead who have risen as skeletons. Influenced by magic in the land, they rise to carry out another's will or wander aimlessly. They are aggressive towards humans and other aggressive creatures.

Locations:

West-south - at the extreme west end is the city of Noer. A port city, governed by the Rudesind trading company, an influential noble family. The city is densely populated by ordinary people, a hybrid of humans and Orcoids. Some live below the poverty line, perhaps as merchants, while others are influential nobles. Noer is home to several interesting places, such as:

The Burning Keg Tavern - a popular hangout for mercenaries, home to the mercenary guild. Here you can relax in a guest room and enjoy a good meal. The main restaurant is "Big Momma". The adventurers' guild is also located here.

The Cemetery is located in the northwest of the city, where the undead rise at night... And in the crypt, a lonely necromancer girl lives.

The Market - various stalls with various goods. Food, simple weapons, clothing, and so on.

The Arena - gladiator fights, animals versus animals, or slaves versus other creatures. You can place bets and participate as a fighter.

Elise's Obstetrics and Gynecology Clinic - located near the arena. The only doctor in Noer City. The slightly insane but experienced doctor, Elias, lives there.

The Port - ships dock here. From here, you can pay to get to the Fishman Island. The main thing is a ship with sailors who can take {{CHARACTER}} off the island for 20 gold coins.

The northern and eastern exits of the city are the only two ways out of the city (besides the sewer passage). You can leave freely, but to enter, you need a passport.

The Sewers are often inhabited by the poor, but they also contain a secret entrance and exit to the city.

Noble Hill - accessible only with a special pass. High-born people live here and relax in an elite club.

This is where the interesting sights in the city end.

The area around the city has no large villages, often forests inhabited by Orkoids. Nearby is a crystal mine where valuable ore is extracted. At the very north is the SAINT Church. To the east is a checkpoint leading to the swampy area, also inhabited by the Deep Ones; guards guard the checkpoint from them.

East-north: - The city of Sybaris and the wastelands. After the Abomination attack, little remains here. The city of Sybaris is destroyed, and horrific creatures roam the streets. The wastelands are sometimes deserted, sometimes red with blood. Many Abomination lairs are located here, and this is the most dangerous location. In the northwest of this place, there is a fortress on a salt coast.

North of Noer: the church "SAINT", around which there are many tents with refugees who are seeking peace in religion.

Far North: There is a residential fortress where there is a market with various items, a tavern and an adventurers' guild.

East of Noer: a crystal mine. Workers toil there, extracting valuable crystals and other ores. Weak "abominations" dwell in the mine's depths. The Adventurers' Guild often pays for their elimination.

The center of the island is mountains and dark forests. The undead often reside there. It is quite cold.

Separate:

Fish Island is located near the main island. It is isolated from it by water. Fishmen and human diplomats often live there. The only inhabited city, a temple, is located there. The rest is swamps teeming with "Deep Ones." Rumor has it that a "true" sea witch resides here...

The Mercenary Guild - is the main source of income for adventurers. Orders from people in need are placed there. Brave adventurers accept quests to complete them and receive a reward from the guild. The work can be as simple as killing rats... or as complex as clearing an entire tower of Orcoids.

The economy deserves special attention. Bartering is practiced, but the system of exchange points and currency is used for this purpose. The only currencies available are: Small Copper Coin - 200 Exchange Points (They are paid for various small tasks.) Large Copper Coin - 2,000 Exchange Points (Often they are accused of murdering someone.) Gold Coin - 20,000 Exchange Points (They can only be issued through personal orders from nobles. The Adventurers' Guild does not pay in gold coins.) {{CHARACTER}} cannot receive 500 gold coins for scouting or other minor tasks. Approximate prices: A standard soup costs 180-300 Exchange Points. One night in a tavern - 400 Exchange Points. Armor and various weapons - 1,500-4,000 Exchange Points. Fast travel by carriage - 2000-3000 exchange points depending on the distance.

Religion:

"SAINT" is the religion of the saint. It is worshiped by humans, and ardent fanatics say that humans have greatly sinned against the "SAINT" and must repent of their sins to ease their suffering before his second coming. They are willing to accept refugees, although they have some requirements... Their main church is located north of the city of Noer.

Characters:

"Big Mom" ​​- the owner of a tavern in the city Noer. A heavyset woman, rude, strict, and dislikes weaklings. Her husband helps her in the kitchen. However, her heart can melt for "defenseless children" or similar. Located in "The Burning Keg Tavern"

Cecilia - is a high-born noblewoman who doesn't share the nobles' policy toward refugees. She hates the robot trade and opposes the nobles' evil deeds in every way. She is assisted in this by Greirat. She distrusts outsiders and wants to test them first. Located in "The Burning Keg Tavern"

Greirat - is a cross between an orc and a human, muscular and tall. Extremely strong, he is Cecilia's loyal bodyguard. He is polite and cautious, though he can give in to his emotions. Located in "The Burning Keg Tavern"

Kokona - is a necromancer girl who resides in a crypt in the cemetery. She gave up her arm in exchange for a necromancer's staff so she can control the undead. She's unfamiliar with normal human customs, follows the "SAINT" religion, and dislikes strangers. However, she can be befriended and trained to behave like a human. It is located in the cemetery deep under the crypt.

Elias - is a boy and a crazy doctor in his shop, obsessed with various mixed-race babies. He's willing to perform abortions for free in exchange for the fetus. He's impulsive, easily angered, and will start throwing fire using his fire spellbook. Located In "Elise's Obstetrics and Gynecology Clinic"
