Printilia

**Printilia** is an island on the Mushroom World and the main setting of *Paper Cast.* It is divided into eight cantons, each themed on a different form of paper.

## Description

A long time ago, the whole place was a wasteland. There wasn’t even sand or snow, just rocks and dirt and stuff. The first settlers of this island mostly stuck to the southernmost region. That changed when their hard-earned mages’ souls were somehow stuffed into their elemental artifacts and scattered all over the island. At their crash sites, the artifacts affected the wastelands around them, creating a diverse roster of biomes and landforms. Since then, the Printilians have spread over the island and drew borders. The cantons each have their own color, element (New Sprint excluded), ideals, even lead lady.

### New Sprint

The timeless New-Yorkesque canton at the very south. I grew up here. New Sprint City is the news capitol of the Mushroom World. However, it is also the source of pain and panic for male and female, young and old worldwide. It’s a byproduct of their philosophy: good things aren’t news. But that soon might change.

New Sprint is themed on newspapers. Their color is gray. The resting place of the mages is just outside the city

### Billin

The grassy, Germany-flavored canton northeast of New Sprint. People who say “money doesn’t grow on trees” haven’t been here. The trees have dollar bills for leaves. It is a prosperous place full of hard-working townsfolk. To the northwest of town is Chateau de Argent, the former home of the canton’s ruler.

Billin is themed on dollar bills. Their color is green. The artifact here is Natrelle’s Crown.

### Foldrem

The desert canton on the east. Culture wise, it’s a mix of the Wild West and Middle East. Sand twisters roam the dunes, and the people here have prepared. Foldrem is famous for the Eternal Arcana, an enchanted library where everything that ever happens on Printilia is recorded, right back to its formation.

Foldrem is themed on folders. Their color is yellow. The artifact here is Volaris’s Scroll.

### Gamiwoxa

The northeast forest canton that just screams “Oriental.” Perhaps the coziest of the cantons, most of Olyssue’s heat is channeled here, plus there are fireworks every night. Gamiwoxa is known for their amazing food. You can have dinner and a show at the Thousandth-Crane Theatre, so named because plays come to life on the stage.

Gamiwoxa is themed on origami. Their color is red. The artifact here is Kindra’s Urn.

### Blairland

The metallic canton to the northwest. It is city-sized, abandoned theme park based on the art of Mary Blair, the art director of many Disney works. It was closed down years ago due to reports of strange musical monsters. People still live near the actual park, they just dont want to step inside anymore. Those days may come to an end if the rumors of it being replaced by a weapons factory are true.

Blairland is themed on music sheets. Their color is purple. The artifact here is Animaetis’s Shield

### Noumeaph

The tropical canton to the very west. Everyone wants to spend at least one day on the sparkling shores. A few would rather investigate the shady jungle and murky wetlands nearby. The natives here value intelligence above all else, and as such they’ve hidden puzzles for unlucky tourists to solve. Also I heard something about a spy base?

Noumeaph is themed on graphs. Their color is blue. The artifact here is Ebsquire’s Mask.

### Torboard

The snowy canton to the southwest. Winter is the only season, and they liked it that way. Archaeologists come here all the time for the Glazed Museum, an eerie cavern system dug inside a glacier which has perfectly preserved fossils of eras bygone. It not much different from the snow regions in the Mushroom Kingdom, apart from the Museum and the vikings delivering packages.

Torboard is themed on cardboard. Their color is cyan. The artifact here is Neigeld’s Band.

### Olyssue

The aloft canton at the very center of the island. Floating islands above the clouds of a mountain lift up the structures of a sweet toga-wearing society. The denizens of this hovering archipelago deny any inspiration from Ancient Greece. Also, healthcare is commonplace and cheap, as its their industry. Pretty great place, huh?

Olyssue is themed on tissues. Their color is orange. The artifact here is Rumbert’s Gem.
