## History

Considered the crowning achievement of the Kingdom of Zoscia's early expansion policies, First Revelation was the very first world to be settled by Coronan colonists in 8 NAC and became a blueprint for future endeavors of expansion. With a docile world of peaceful isles and mountains as their first candidate of colonization, the Zoscians were rather shocked by the fauna that greeted them lazily without an intent to harm. Having dealt primarily with deadly hunters in the woodlands of Corona, the colonists were weary at first by the docile nature of the wildlife but in due time came to accept and even love their new neighbors.

Finding a thick fog cascading over the lands of First Revelation, most colonial settlements were originally built in the mountaintops above the sea of grey which lied below in the plains. This led to a condensed and short style of architecture influenced by the limited space in mountains and higher altitude; their capital in particular would be famously known as the "City of Clouds" for its almost dreamlike aesthetic and suspension above the fog. Colonists in due time expanded down into the plains below the fog line and learned an invaluable lesson which gave a second meaning to the religiously named planet; adaptation was key to colonization and they seemed adept at forming themselves around their new world.

Colonizing their first world without issue and establishing a functioning government, the colonial project was considered a massive success and boosted the public's confidence in settling foreign worlds. Utilizing the tale of First Revelation for advertisements, colonial expansion took off and countless worlds followed the blueprint Revelation laid out and have it to thank for their success.

## Fauna

While not as diverse as the standard Corona set for the Kingdoms expectations, First Revelation does have a decently sized array of animals and plants with varying degrees of friendliness. While mainly left to their own devices, a species of plant and animal have been seemingly singled out by the populace as the most desired above the rest whether as pets or food depends on the region.

The Yolfen is a surprisingly harmless lure which seems to be able to make high pitched noises to attract the attention of other creatures. Using an advanced form of cavitation which Coronans can audibly hear like the animals present on the world, it makes a high pitched squealing noise that lures animals to its location for feeding. It then proceeds to eject a sweet nectar from its stalk that the animals drink from, the saliva they release being taken by the plant in turn and used as an alternative for water when droughts occur; a symbiotic relationship which would have never been fathomed on Corona. Yolfens are usually kept as pets considering their high intelligence and the cute squealing noise they make which sometimes comes off as happy chirping then they are watered.

Toliks are a highly sought after pet for Coronans which is mostly due to its versatility. Living below the fog line in the vast plains and forests which span Revelation, the Toliks are a small four legged species which has long snouts for insect hunting and a large rough shell they can hide in when distressed. Considered the friendliest animal on the planet, Toliks seemed to be unaffected by Coronans as they scuttle on by them without a care in the world unless actively threatened. With a high pitched squeak they make when happy, Toliks quickly became a household favorite as their docile nature made them easy pets and low maintenance with the abundance of insects on the planet. They are also valued for their shells, a market having been made out of selling the carved out shells of Toliks for hats and other accessories. Finding use in life and death, Toliks are an honored and well loved addition to many Coronan households as a laid back alternative to more energetic creatures of Corona.

## Landmarks

With a dedication to producing materials and ships for the Zoscian Navy, Revelations major feats usually have shown through its craftsmanship and unique vessels rather than its landmarks. However, it is not without its gems for tourists and citizens alike.

The City of Clouds which sits upon the short Mountain of Imel is the closest mountain settlement to the fog line and was originally designed this way on purpose to study the effects of the fog and the plains below it. This inadvertently led to the beautiful side effect that gave its nickname as it always seems to appear as a city floating above the clouds; an identity the capital has embraced wholeheartedly and worked to further with giving the cities architecture a whimsical design. Primarily an industrial hub for Naval vessels, Jilaka has gained traction as a tourist destination since its newfound identity was established, many Coronans wishing to see the floating city and all it has to offer.

Hidden within the deep southern forests of Revelation, an anomaly among the wildlife thrives in its beautiful sanctuary of squeals and chirping. The Yolfen Glade was discovered by explorers by accident on a standard analysis assignment of the local wildlife which led to the eventual finding of a vast secluded sanctuary of Yolfen nestled in between two mountains. With an array of Yolfen and animals calling the sanctuary home, it has become a wild life preserve with an almost harmonious ecosystem that seems to have little to no conflict aside the occasional hunter. With most animals relying upon the nectar of the Yolfens to survive, they return this kindness in favor by lapping up water from the local streams when thirsty, persisting a cycle between the two groups. A hotbed for budding ecologists, the Glade has become a place for study and relaxation among nature as it proves itself as truly a sanctuary for all life, including the Coronans which observe it.

Bright and flashing with neon signs and wealth galore, Vesipolna is the island resort away from home. With entire islands under their jurisdiction for residential housing and businesses, Vesipolna bases itself out of the main island in the northern coast. Originally created as a island colony for peace and quiet from the busy nature of city life, it slowly and surely changed into one of the highest energy locations on all of Revelation. With businesses taking interest in the beautiful location and surrounding isles, the Vesipolna board was formed and worked alongside the city to establish a casino-resort which quickly became the biggest tourist destination on the planet. Having perfect weather year round with a lighter fog line in the north that brings out the sunlight, the casino-resort was a success and brought the small city into a new golden age of prosperity and business; quickly growing into the fourth largest city on the entire planet. Still living off of the effects of its golden age, Vesipolna still steadily grows as the years go on and its investments continue to rise and bring in profit.
