[nospaces] [attr="class","back-thing"] [attr="class","temp-title"]Setting [attr="class","sub-thing"] [attr="class","sub-text"]Where is Pavane?
[attr="class","temp-text"] Pavane is a world that is rich with racial tension. These social and political divides are apparent and visible in the city itself as well. Pavane exists on and around a large plateau about 4,500 feet high. Connecting the bottom and the top of the plateau are four large staircases spanning from the base of base of the plateau to the top, . [break][break]
The very top is 146 square miles across, about the size of two suburban cities. Here, there used to be rich forestry, but has been cleared by Angels, Demons, and Vampires to create the upper area of Pavane. They have lavish mansions and celestial, somewhat Victorian common areas. There are large gates at the perimeters from the passages leading up onto the plateau, requiring the blood of an Angel, Demon, or Vampire to even enter this part of Pavane. At the very center of the plateau is an additional man-made hill that leads to the city council building which can be seen from most areas of Pavane. The city council building is the only area electrically powered due to the constant abuse of Fairies' magick.[break][break] This large plateau has a tiny divot about halfway up the plateau about 5,000 square feet long known as Middle Pavane. This is where the Ghoul and Halfling slums are located. Shabby housing is spread thinly along the divot which expands the entire parameter of the plateau. Old, mostly abandoned facilities exist on this part of Pavane. However, there are humble, yet very popular bars and restaurants located just beside the staircases, making them accessible to most races. However, most upper class races prefer not to bother here.[break][break]
At the bottom of the plateau is a ginormous tree known as Yggdrasil standing tall at 4,100 feet. On this tree, Elves have made their living. Their advanced technology has allowed them to create buildings on the thick branches of the trees and hollow out other parts of the trees for more housing. Their technology allows them to create roads between branches and have incredibly fast and elaborate transportation systems throughout the trees. They are the only race with a view of the top of Pavane. In order to get into Yggdrasil, one must seek a permit granting them admittance to the tree. Else-wise, they will be met with an illusory wall.[break][break]
Below Yggdrasil exists a dense forest expanding to the edges of Pavane. This forest is inhabited by the Fairies whose locations typically vary with their elemental affinity. For example, Undites tend to create more huts near water sources. Because of the collaborative nature of fairies, they tend to be more old-fashioned in their housing and are very self-sufficient within their own community. The further away from Yggdrasil and the staircases to the plateau the Fairies get, the more primitive their housing and utilities become. A fairy adjacent to the staircases might have access to elven technology and have easy access to to food and water whereas those living close to the edges may not even have a stove, instead relying on tricks such as ignikinesis for cooking.[break][break]
Finally, At the very edge of Pavane live the Witches. They also live in the forest with the fairies. However, their exact location is unknown, as their society is hidden away due to a powerful illusion preventing outsiders from discovering it. This is approximately 180 square miles away from the edges of the plateau. The Witch's Coven itself, if you can find it, is actually rather big. The Witches have moderate industrialization due to their occasional communication sharing of technology with Elves. Their houses are made with brick and are mostly powered by electricity. However, they do not have the complex transport systems made by the Elves, so their society has opted to become densely packed. In some cases, houses will even begin to touch each other because they are so close.
