The Beginning of the World

Thirteen city-states in one Territory.  I have at least a bare bones idea of what I want in each city except for Summer-sky.  Been drawing a blank on that one.  I'm just going to give a quick run down of each area as I have it for now.

White
floating city in calm water with docks all around stretching out into violent pools, whirlpools, rivers converge and originate here, has Venice like architecture and setup, sewer system (want to use it as part of the plot for this area somehow.)

Yellow
Whalers, seafooev farmers

Tiger-Eye
ever changing sand hills surrounded by water, mines for precious stones, ruins, and archeologists  gems loose on the ground sparkling and pretty


Rose
actual swamps, mangrove trees silk farmers, near red same culture (Japanese)

SummerSky

Purple Dusk
near EbonGray and Black, same cliffs rising out of water (can come up inside of Black without stepping into EbonGray, through the tunnel/cave system)  this is wear the last of the dragons roost

Opal
Only pass out of Territory, has town of merchants, only importers and exporters in Territory, very wealthy, society is most like inspiration material

Green
unicorns that can walk on water, forest rising out of water, but not swamp like, (water constantly purified by unicorns)  Like Channelwood from Myst, tree-top society

Sapphire

underground society (rest of territory does not know it's there, thinks it is barren and empty) mermaids, surface barren visually like Tiger-eye, with shallow water and sand dunes. surface unpopulated, water filled caverns underground with like from systems of light refraction from natural gemstones

Red

Sulfur pools, volcanic activity, mud pits, rotten eggs smells, Japanese culture, onsen, health spas, like Bath, hot springs

Gray

Ship builders, more reeds than wood, trade for wood from Green, Egyptian like culture but no stone buildings, bad guy in area, evil spell turns papyrus into stone to build strange looking pyramid, declare himself a god  ruins paper export, can hear rumors, paper really expensive for a while

Ebon-Gray

surrounds Black on all sides, port city must negotiate way through to Black, warrior race, Spartan

Black

Raise Beef ONLY real land in Territory  city built into cliffs to avoid wasting valuable land, warriors as well, but Athenians to Ebon-Gray's Spartans  Corrupt Government



So there are the City-States as I have them so far.  On the map I have also switched Rose and Sapphire in the map.  Next week I will try to have a better map put together, and then I will start fleshing out the City's more.  Have a good Week!
