Palisade (planet): Difference between revisions

Revision as of 20:16, 9 June 2023

Palisade is a planet on the outskirts of the Twilight Mirage, bordering space controlled by Stel Nideo. It has been used as a staging ground for many groups trying to gain entry into the Twilight Mirage, including the Rapid Evening, the New Earth Hegemony, Advent, and most recently the Pact of Necessary Venture and The Curtain.

The planet is divided along its equator by the Diadem, a vast failed megacity from thousands of years ago. It has two moons: Travertine and Chimera's Lantern. Outside its atmosphere, it appears to be purple (or sometimes green, orange, or blue), which is not the case when on-planet.

Regions

Bontive Valley

The Bontive Valley is a foggy river valley surrounded by high cliffs. The people of the Bontive Valley were once a part of the Divine Free States, but chose to stay on Palisade as the Free States became the Divine Principality. They are isolated from much of the rest of the planet, and have been watched over by Bounty.

When the Curtain arrived on Palisade the Bontive Valley was pillaged for supplies, leaving Curtain agents to keep an eye on the settlements afterwards. Settlements include Carhaix and Eversin.

Shale Belt

The Shale Belt is a high elevation plateau-ed scrubland. Most of the people of the Shale Belt are Concretists who have worked a special concrete into their structures, sidewalks, and bodies. They are a largely secular society. Settlements include Braunton, Creston and Vicksboro.

Eastern Province

A vast as-yet-unnamed area in the east of Palisade, currently controlled by Nideo and inundated with the Divine Resonance. Contains a huge gate named Aram's Gate. The city of Cadent's Reach is located at the farthest eastern point, while City City is toward the center of the planet.

Greenfield

Greenfield is a central area of Palisade, home to the Twill until recently. As its name would imply, it is green, and a field. The Frontier Syndicate has occupied the area. Settlements include Baseline, the Lone Marble HQ, and Viager.

Fabreal Duchy

The Fabreal Duchy is a large civilization on Palisade and the home of a class of glass noble slavers; Stel Kesh is currently ruling 'alongside' it. The glass nobles are descended from the people of the Crown of Glass. The Fabreal Duchy covers a large area on Palisade, which is not completely contiguous. Cities include Carleon-Upon-Wisk, Carmathen, and Joyous Guard. The Paint Shop, at the top of Steeple Catterick, is also in this area.

Brecheliant Forest

Brecheliant Forest is a large forested and swampy area toward the south of the planet. It is partially controlled by Kesh and the Fabreal Duchy (especially Tintagel, which is the home of the Stargrave) but also overlaps with the area of control of the Crown of Glass.

Other locations

The Caldera Stretch: A huge dormant volcano which circles the planet just south of the north pole.
Isle of the Broken Key: An island in the Wisk Sea to the west of the Bontive Valley.
Rifle Island: An island in the southwest of the planet, controlled by pirates.
Composure's Coliseum: A Divine coliseum on an island in the south of the planet.
New Oath: A settlement in the southeast of the planet.

Trivia

Basketball is the most popular sport on Palisade^[1].
