Editing Trasidy

[[File:TrasidySymbol.jpg]] This Squiggle is a Maze of the first water. Its population is a puzzle. [[File:TrasidySymbol.jpg]]


[[File:Trasidy11.jpg|1200 px]]

Its origin is lost to time and only a clever searcher could find who created the original Squiggle.  It is located multiversally nearer the [[Tosa/York]] systems.  There are many rumors about this realm but a few are clear after a little investigation.

[[File:Rewscavi.jpg]]  [[File:Cradic.jpg]]  [[File:Utaric.jpg]]  [[File:Candal Rose Algala.jpg]]

Entrance into Trasidy can be achieved in a number of ways.  Pattern Transfer, Logrus Tendrils, Trump, and several other magical pathways. There is a tiny path of Jeweled Road to Trasidy that has recently begun to be used as commerce has developed.  The Jeweled Path is 10' wide and crosses a tall pass into the realm.    

However all forms of entry deliver the traveler to a magnificent Temple called the Hagia Rosada.  In the Grand Rotunda, beneath the great copper topped green dome, await the Priests of Rosada who speak with new arrivals.  The sense is that new arrivals occur frequently.  They greet arrivals in Peace, offer them food and drink, and show them to a giant cavernous room with many doorways to sectors of the city. 

Upon entry at the Hagia Rosada one can see one is in a city of millions of buildings. There does not seem to be an end of them.  There are also no highways though there are some roads that are little more then alleys. It is a insane collections buildings of every architecture.  Millions of Plazas, stoas, strip malls. The Hagia Rosada has commanding views of the place and seems to sit upon one of the highest points.

==[[File:TrasidySymbol.jpg]]'''Topography'''[[File:TrasidySymbol.jpg]]==

Trasidy is one relatively flat plain that is covered with urban areas. It has approximately 1,269,00 SQ Miles.  About the size of India.  With a population estimated at 1,020,000,000 gives a population density of approximately 400 per sq mile.  Most areas are considerably denser then that allowing for vast parks and farms, but not mountain ranges.

*There are many waterways among and beneath the buildings.  The water is drinkable and has a vast plethora of fish, crustacean, and other water based-lifeforms. Fishing is common.
*Earthquakes occur frequently. Construction tends to over engineer to provide stability during earthquakes but there is still damage. Vining plants add cracks that quakes open and cause greater damage.

=='''Technology'''==

Cottage industries exist for the production of Lichen, Candle and Oil lights.
*There is a Night/Day cycle but no visible light source: No sun.  It simply gets lighter and darker with light filtering down from above to allow for shadows and shade.  This is caused by a cycling heat source far above the surface of the realm that maneuvers in an erratic manner.

For that reason metal is a common import. 

*Recent Offworld trade has included bulk metals.

==[[File:TrasidySymbol.jpg]]'''Government of Trasidy'''[[File:TrasidySymbol.jpg]]==

==Protectorate of Amber==
the realm of Trasidy does not have a central government and as such its position in the greater shadows is murky.  Recently, at the urging of Prince Dalt and his son Lord Macsen, Amber has declared Trasidy a protected region of the Empire of Amber.  They Consul are unhappy about this development but the matter is still under consideration.  In the mean time other realms of shadow have recogonized the protected status to at least the degree that attacking it would be very dangerous.

Powerful Factors might oversee 100 or more Standing Structures.


==='''Residents-Animals'''===

==='''Residents-Sentient'''===

<span Style=color:Blue></span>

The natives of this realm are vast.  A casual population guess puts the populations of this city at billions. Clearly many [[Non-Borns]] were here at the creation of the Squiggle but many others have come here since.  The arrival process at the Hagia Rosada implies that arrivals, as individuals, small groups, and large Diasporas are easily absorbed into the population. 

*<span Style=color:Blue>''Race relations''</span>:Racially there are large swaths of different races and cultures but they seem to get along well on a racial basis.  Individuals, even groups, gangs, and other associations may have violent conflict but it is not a function of race.'

*<span Style=color:Blue>''Religions''</span>:Nearly any religion in shadow can be found here and often that is a criteria for the Priests of Hagia Rosada to send one to a particular area.  The Priests of Rosada though, are an odd mixture of monastics and librarians. 

*<span Style=color:Blue>''Sport''</span>:Sports seem to be a driving passion in this world.  
**While combat sports exist, like boxing, Knife, Jousting, and even an elaborate Gladiatorial League exist, most of the sports are less bloody.  **Baseball, football, hockey, basketball, and many other games of a dizzy variety are actively followed.  
**Acrobatics and gymnastics are common activities.
**Despite the lack of mountains there is a passion for gliding.  Fixed wing.  Hang gliding.  
***Kite flying in a mania among young and old.  Men and women. The variety of styles is incredible. Fighting kites is a popular sport.

*<span Style=color:Blue>''Commerce''</span>Thriving businesses exist to provide residents with everything available  Plazas are almost always supplied with food merchants, cloth merchants, and everything else needed. Cottage industries is the nature oft things in this world.

*<span Style=color:Blue>''Currency''</span>While gold, silver, copper, electrum, platinum, gemcoins, gems, and other shadow currency is commonly used, barter is by far the most common form of exchange. A general 10 copper to 1 silver/10 silver to 1 gold/10 gold to 1 platinum/ exchange rate exists.  Electrum coins are generally considered 1/3 to 1/2 of a gold coin.  Mitril are generally rated as worth 1000 gold. Gemcoins, a common chaos sway currency are readily accepted and have a complicated exchange system based on the central gem and the surrounding metals.

==='''Natives and Immigrants'''===

*If there is a native race it has long since blended in with the immigrant population.  There are no publicly known [[Non-Borns]].

*Over the course of time many people have come here through diverse methods. They arrive at Hagia Rosada, usually, with nothing but what they are carrying.  Occasionally animals arrive this way as well.  One day a population of Eskimos, then a caravan of Calro Velri hunters, then next a trio of circus performers, the next a flock of doves. Then nothing for a year.  Then 10,000 refugees green skinned Parnu from an unknown war.  While its been assumed the arrivals were refugees from disasters this is not the case as many arrival claim to have been stolen from their worlds.

*There is some function of the world that causes arrivals to quickly acclimate the common language, Trasid-Thari, quickly.  Trasid-Thari is a dialectic version of Thari, including elements of many languages arrivals have brought.

*The social environment varies from plaza to plaza.  the tech level may vary from plaza to plaza.

The Pattern of Amber is denoted on everything from play cards, books, paintings, Murals, and artworks.  The Sigil of Trasidy is not.  Few of the general public ever see the Sigil.  However it is not impossible.  Every person who serves on the Chamber of Review has seen it, and many have assayed it. All Priests of Rosada have seen it. Many Plaza leaders have seen it.  Students in the Sorcerous and magical arts eventually have a chance to see it.

[[File:2-Col Adrazic.jpg|200 px]]

This Tavern and managing facility rests at the col of the entrance into the realm.  Traditionally the arduous climb on the exterior of the realm to the Col and the equally steep but much shorter descent into the realm were muddy and dangerous roads.  With the advent of a small Jeweled Road up and down the the trail merchant business has increased.  However, the road is only 10' wide, so the use of the trail has become more organized.
