Chancel: The grotto
The Grotto is an underground chancel; it is made by a vast volcanic complex inside an enormous grotto. The channel entrance is located in one of the main magma chamber in a island called Vulcano (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vulcano for more info). In the chancel’s centre rest Vulcan’s workshop, near the lava flow of the mayor volcano, where the Imperator continuously make new machinery or improve existing ones. The chancel’s borders are a mountain range at Nord and Sud, a sea at West and a desert at Est. These borders are full of mine, extraction’s platform and other complexes that provide all possible type of raw material. These materials are then processed by myriads of factories in the chancel or by Vulcan. More that half of chancel space is filled by skyscraper-ing like pile of remains or old versions of machinery or no more working ones. These piles are so high that the top vanish in the sky! In the chancel’s free spaces there are the chancel folk’s settlements. Some develop toward the sky with towering skyscrapers, others develop underground, Then New Eden ad Gibsonville (the largest two) develop both underground and toward the sky. These settlements are highly developed highly technological places full of robots and automatic machines. Thanks to the breakthroughs Vulcan’s developments the 10-15% (if too much for you fell free to lower these percentages) of total chancel population is made by automaton with a more o less developed AI. These artificial beings are mainly found in New Eden and in Gibsonville, BUT these have not the same right as the meat citizen and some tense incidents have already happen. In these futuristic cities the population work and live mimicking the Imperator. So many efforts are geared toward production and development that chancel folk’s entire live pin around production and development. The chancel folks are so used to mheir presence and to give for grant their service. BUT the AI empowered machines have struggled to have the same rights as humans. A clandestine movement was born from the disgruntled and the sympathetic; the HRIM (Human Rights to Intelligent Machines); that pain the Nobles and the Eru. Finally, a mottled, geographically dispersed, sensor’s arrays, composed of various generations and types of devices, scan continuously the chancel being the enemy’s first interceptation (is a word?) line (v. Borderguard)
History notes
The Grotto evolved as Vulcan see fit. Vulcan starts enhancing human’s tools when civilization start. From pointed stick to stone lance. From hoe to tractor. From vacuum valves to microcomputers. Vulcan’s chancel start with a normal human population. Then, which each development these peoples first found the industrial revolution then brief informatic’s one and then Vulcan dive toward robotic and AIs. Now the chancel comprises of the majority of humans and a 10-15% of robotic intelligence beings. (With them on the verge of a revolt). BTW Vulcan care little of chancel folks condition. Next step on Vulcan agenda is transhumanism. Chancel folks will retain their identity but will have a vast array of possible bodies. Some will leave after them human form other will only enhance it. Vulcan will want to take care of the singularity.
Properties
Magical Inhabitants [3]: Some being with Eartly magics (+1), Anchorable (+2) -- Roughly 20% of Chancel inhabitants are mechanical with a more o less limited AI. Extrapolative Technology [2] -- Vulcan is a master in the production of many different thinks so the science is more developed. Borderguard - Power level 1, Penetration 3 [6] – Wide and dispersed sensor arrays Banes 4 [- 2] -- Some not working as expected sentient machinaries (AIs) + the hidden leader of the HRIM (Human Rights to Intelligent Machines) [Banes can not be the best fit but I’m at a loss for where put these dissidents]. Erus – Warden [-3] - New Eden’s mayor (grotto’s greatest settlements).
To transhumanism
Inevitably Vulcan will continue his path toward enhancements and discover the technologies that will permit to chancel folks to go past mere humanity into transhumanity where ego and body are split and bodys are swapable and expendable. - Magical Inhabitants [4]: Many such beings (+2), Anchorable (+2) Weird Science [2]: Ego read and save/backup technology (a dedicated form of thought record technology) (1) Custom made body technology (1)
Nobles Summary
Brewnyr
Brewnyr is the ruler of the Grotto. His domain and is realm work well together to administer the chancel. He is able to create passage from the lava’s stream on this chancel to another lava’s stream in another chancel or on Earth. He was a might magma flow that catch the interest of Vulcan that then enNoblet it. Today Brewnyr prefer to stay in magma form when possible. The local inhabitants have developed some curious culture bits around this power. One of the most amusing is that each death chancellfolk (or invader) is carried to Brewnyr’s obsidian palace and then consumend by the Power.
