Description

“Welcome to Moresatta”, a 70′s styled advert poster for my world.

------------------------------------

Once colonization of Aurora has truly gone ahead without further interruption from the natives, the joint temporary alliance between the Kronian Empire and the UROE were finally in agreement as to where the capital city would be settled. With permission granted by the native Deltans, the colony would be set in the far southern Taar region - with its most prominent neighbor being the Satta clan of natives. As a way of showing good faith, the colonists settled on naming the city “Moresatta” (Mor-ay-sa-ta); “More-” (Mor-ay) being the Southern Deltan word for ‘sister’, and “Satta” (Sa-ta) being the honored clan known for is diplomacy.

Initially developed as a mining hub, it rapidly grew into a trade center and finally a unique mix-pot for culture. Kronian, Human, and Deltans populated the city, which helped to establish the location as being a truly neutral point. Visitors would often see districts heavily populated with one race, though the majority still leaned heavily with the humans. It was a place where Kronian high-society living, Human earth-centric aniques, and Deltan warrior/miner pride would mix, match, and clash in the daily. Far and wide the city would be considered a successful example of these three races coexisting peacefully.

Unfortunately, the reputation of the city is tainted heavily by its insane levels of crime and corruption. Desert-dwelling ex-prisoners from a destroyed prison camp now roam the desert as raiders; each race has established their own respective gangs and factions that put the city under constant warring in the streets; and the poor grow immensely in the vast stretches of shanties known locally as “Southside”. What was once a promising city with a bright, diverse future, has now become the home to organized crime of every variety, and a refuge for those wanting to escape the chaos of the desert wastelands.

Of course the neither UROE or the Empire care in the slightest.

Prisoners turned bandits? Aggressive locals? Corruption everywhere you look? Sounds like another day on Aurora.

Don't forget storms so strong they can rip your skin off, a ferocious wildlife, and the natives who hate foreigners coming near their territories.Good times.
