Selpina

## Game Information

This planet is filled with tons of magical anomalies, specifically dimension magic. It would appear to magical researchers a ritual series of extremely powerful rituals where cast to teleport a mass amount of people to an extremely far away place, this happened multiple times. People who live on Selpina know not to wander the wilderness alone, the forests and the lands have a tendency to play tricks on you. Their culture is very magic centric, but they get along with other planets rather well, though they are very stringent on people of other races moving in to their planet. The Space Union dignitary from this planet is the head of the space union.

# Tales of Yore

The world of Selpina has always been a veritable trove of magic and wonder. A home to all sorts of sentient creatures, all with strange magical abilities. Some with latent magic powers, others with specialties, but one rose to dominate from amongst  the rest, the Lilithana. These fae like creatures had the benefit of being able to channel amounts of magic on a far higher order of magnitude. The problem was, there was just not enough magic for everyone.

This is when the Magical Annexations began. The Lilithana would send armed forces to draw the magics out of an area stunting  entire populations.  Once the extraction was complete, they then cast a strange ritual. Afterwards, the species would simply never be seen again as if they had  just vanished. This ritual would leave behind a dimensional scar, and some might say that the scar spills the secret The  Lilithana Generals were banishing the  other species to somewhere very far away.

Finally once the Lilithana were the only species left, they sealed off the Dimensional Scars and began rebuilding. To this day unless you have a very good reason, you will not be allowed to become a permanent resident of Selpina, if you are not a Lilithana. They will let you stay on a temporary basis, or if there is some sort of emergency, but it is rare.

# The Lilithana

Magic and Enchanting are the most important to the Lilithana, and their whole culture and society is centralized around it. There are some outside species that say their magical world has been warped by their own powers. The planet’s magic is overflowing due to the constant use and transferring of magical effects by Lilithana that it began to crystalize. This was one of the first instances of Magical crystals used today in enchanting. Some notable Lilithana are:

Lei Natsua is the leader of Selpina and The Aurora Scape. She is widely known as one of Selpina’s best Light Mages. She is known for many extremely humanitarian policies. One such Policy is allowing the Orange Flower Fleet to set up the Sedroxi Protectorate on a planet in their system.

Kaise Stardust is the Space Union Dignitary and also the Head of the space union council for Seplina. He was voted the leader after his deliberations on the Beta sector threat, and signing the treaty.

# A Magiocracy

In Selpina only those who can draw on magic can vote or run for office. Whenever there is an election people from a region will go to a Telling Stone, and put as much magic as they choose into the stone with their vote attached. Afterward each telling stone is tallied with its vote on each matter.

This does mean those who are born with much more magical powers, or are well trained in magics will invariably have a much heftier vote in any election or decision. This does also cause a significant amount of discrimination against those who have low magic, or even worse no magic. Though usually those people hide it very well, and just do not vote.

As for elected officials, depending on their position they will be required to show a certain amount of magical prowess. Each Region has another stone, known as the Evaluating Stone, which measures magical power, and reserves. Political groups will be wary of supporting people with low magic in them, as it will weaken their group's pull in the Magiocracy government. This happens less so for people who are more ceremonial in nature, like Archmages. However, even a magically weak Archmage is very unlikely to win any election anyhow.

# Entertainment

The Terrace is home to the Alpha Sector’s most famous university for magical studies, Estheria Elementalist University. If you are looking for anything about magic you should definitely check out their library, it has the second highest number of books on Magic, Magic Research, and Magical Fundamentals. Right next to the Library of Nix.

The Tower of Skylla often has magical shows, and music with amazing light shows. Not only that but nearby, by the Gespian Dimensional Tear, is the fields of Valor. The Fields of Valor is said to contain the Lilithana heroes who liberated Skylla long ago. Though there are loads of rumors that these are not Heroes, but victims.

In the lowlands, while it is not entertainment, it is a point of interest, is the Valley of Crystals. This place was where the overloaded magics used on the planet began to form actual crystals. Unlike most places in the rest of the known galaxy, it is the only place that has crystals of every element nearby.

Finally the Magic and Magiocractical museum found in Fae-Selta is always a nice stop. Here you can see the evolutions of magic through the ages of Selpina, and learn about its applications in everyday life. You might also see some very unique art made with enchanting and magical permanency.

# Cultural Food and Drink

Magically grown crops and creatures domesticated by captivation magics are served in almost all restaurants on Selpina. Even the meat has been grown on the domesticated creatures. The Lilithana have an excellent spicy dish made from a fire bird. Sauteed Flame Haunches with Braise Water Sauce, which is made from a water side cattail like plant, that seems to alter the water it takes in into a form of spiced water. The dish is served with a side of mashed Nor Root, a soft tuber with a slightly sweet flavor.

When it comes to drinks, they are served with a magical kick. There are those who love partying on Selpina, because of this kick, as it prevents hangovers and liver damage. Some Bartenders say that the poisonous alcohol is converted to proteins and other vitamins after it's been in your body for too long. A famous must have drink is The Lotus Blossom Margarita, made from a fermented Water Lotus, with salt on the rim.

# The Aurora Scape

The Aurora Scape is sometimes called the old lands. It was here that the Lilithana called home before the Annexations began, and they spread out. The Aurora Scape is home to Fae-Selta, the Capital of Selpina. At night the whole place has an aurora borealis style anomaly, that is said to be caused by the overwhelming magic used in its cities during the days.

Worchlast and Winding Rivers are two of the closest cities to Fae-Selta, and were once training centers for battle mages during the Annexations. There are many ritual sites in the areas surrounding these two towns, most are in ruins, but some are kept up by locals attempting some major spell cast. Worchlast also has a winery where they make thornfruit wines.

Finally the Seelie Lands is a coastal city, which is built partway over the Bay of Seels. The Seelie Lands has tons of resorts and casinos, and is mostly a tourist attraction. This is also the only site of a Dimensional Tear in The Aurora Scape. The Zelie Tear is actually right in the middle of the bay, and is being contained by a powerful magic device.

# The Terrace

The Second largest of the inhabited region, The Terrace is a large mountainous region filled with floating islands and plateaus. This is the home to the Tower of Skylla, which stands taller than even the tallest mountain. There is a town around the base of the tower, but its namesake is the main attraction here.

Nearby Skylla is The Fields of Valor, and the Gespian Dimensional Tear. Onward down that road, at the base of the largest mountain in Terrace is Estheria. This city is both home to a winter sport resort and a hiking lodge. There are loads of different activities one can participate in such as Skiing, Snowboarding, and rock climbing, all with a Selpina Twist.

Finally on a lone plateau surrounded by a mountain is the retreat city, and another Dimensional Tear. The City of Coral Falls is known for its many connecting rivers that fall from the sides of the sheer cliffs of its plateau. The tear on the other hand is under the cliffs, it is known as The Yari Dimensional Tear.

# The Lowlands

The largest and least populous of Seplinas regions. The Lowlands is mostly covered with crystal farms, and has a wide river running through the middle of it, connecting the three other regions to it. On each end of this river is a city. Additionally, a large forest here contains the Elva Dimensional Tear.

The Wailing Castle houses another Tear, the Ban Dimensional Tear. Often the people here will tell you the city makes strange sounds at night. This city is closest to the Waves, and often processes many wind and water enchanting crystals and distributes them across the planet.

Orthros Retreat is famous for having Orthros races, as this where the Orthros roam. Orthros are two headed dogs right out myths, and even these creatures have been domesticated by the Lilithana. Nearby there are the Saytri and Hartia Dimensional Tears. Orthros Retreat is closest to The Terrace.

Vinshali is the city closest to The Aurora scape, and sometimes you can even see the light anomalies from the towers in the city. This city is especially known for its massive processing and distribution of enchanting crystals across the planet, and even to other places in the galaxy. Nearby you’ll find the Dydai Dimensional Tear.

# The Waves

The Wave is small and calm. There is not much in this region, and it is mostly filled with estates and a few large magical research facilities. Rehia is the most notable place to find these research facilities, and they are mostly found underwater and on the surface of the water. The Merk Dimensional Tear is being constantly studied in the underwater facilities.

Otherwise, here in the Waves is a Massive and Beautiful Collection of Lakes. These lakes surround the Nymia Dimensional Tear. This is also where the city of Nymia is. Nymia is home to the rich and famous of Selpina, and their hired help of course.
