  • Yllinia
    The underwater world of Yllinia is sacred the Yli people. It is one of their only cities and it is home to the Yli Council. Build of living coral, no two rooms are the same size or shape. There are few buildings, only those that provide privacy for the inhabitants, all meetings are held in open water.

  • Mayor's Residence
    The manor is a cultural fusion of Ethian, Vpera, and Yli design. Inside is a spacious, airy expanse with an abundance of furnishings. Kitchens and servants’ quarters are on the first floor, while studies, offices, and bedrooms on the second. Outside, it flanks the entire side of the village square. There is a row of palm trees, a tiled sloping roof, stone walls, and ceiling-to-toe windows wrought with coral and mother of pearl. Each window has its own veranda. The manor was originally built by religious pilgrims and faces the Pillar of Names.

  • Exil Slums
    Dubbing themselves the people of Exil, the slums are a dirty place. The streets are paved with mud, buildings tilt to the side, threatening to fall at any moment. This land is dangerous and ruled by thieves. They live outside the wall and outside the law.

  • Souk District
    A place filled with the smells of the sea and of the land. This is a locale where all races mingle to show their wares to each other in the hopes of doing business. Items for sale, hands for hire, and food to eat-it can all be found here and more.

  • Via Dell'Acqua
    Via Dell'Acqua makes up the majority of on land Onise. It is the name given to everything inside the walls and sanctioned by the government. The city is very much still under construction. It is difficult to go out and buy supplies as most things need to be traded for in the market. Buildings nearly all require repairs or rebuilding as they were put up so hastily. Overall, conditions are still better in Via Dell'Acqua then they are outside.

  • Ruined Palace
    The palace of Myanar has seen better days. Treacherous walls, burned out flooring in some areas it creaks and groans with a voice of its own. Still, it is a symbol of authority in the city proper and officials still try to do business there. The west wing has been reinforced to serve as business offices while much of the rest of the structure desperately awaits reconstruction while the odd scavenger and unexpected miscreant lurks in the shadows.

  • City Gardens
    The old city gardens happen to be one of the nicer places in Myanar during reconstruction. The wide open areas are relatively free of rubbish and though a little charred in spots, the trees and vegetation have remained mostly untouched by the fire. Several tents constructed on the edges of the gardens serve as temporary headquarters for some businesses and homes for some individuals.

  • Docks
    Myanar's docks are one of the first priorities for reconstruction. Ships bringing in supplies for building, nails, wood, food, and other supplies need the docks in working order. And so the docks are perhaps one of the finer areas of the city with plenty of fresh lumber plankings and many functional buildings. Already ships arrive regularly with people and supplies from the Empire.

  • Glass Alley
    Perhaps the most stand-out neighborhood in the ruined city is Glass Alley. The Mea'lan gypsy caravan had originally planned to spin a profit from the strife of those reclaiming the city, but soon found that their talents were worth a great deal more than they'd expected. Glass Alley sprang up almost overnight, perhaps one of the nicest neighborhoods in the entire city and populated almost exclusively by Mea'lan craftsmen.

  • Temple of Balance
    Of relatively sturdy construction, the Temple of Balance managed to weather the fires with relatively minimal damage to its walls but the temple's roofing is in dire condition. One section of the temple has been commandeered by city officials to serve as a jail while other city structures are still being rebuilt.

  • North Gate
    The primary land access to Myanar is from the north along the Myanar Trade road which runs parallel to the western twin river. The new commander Caius Lucius has begun construction of a defensive fortification and barracks to improve upon the city's defense and organize its militia while it is being rebuilt.

  • Alternate Universe Artistic Shade
    Sometimes we like to imagine scenarios that couldn't possibly happen in the current timeframe or setting. Sometimes we're just being silly and sometimes we're bowing to the desires of our overactive muses. Regardless, this is where such abominations do unfold.
