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:TrasidySymbol.jpg]]'''Arrival'''[[File:TrasidySymbol.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.

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.

==[[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.

==='''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.

==[[File:TrasidySymbol.jpg]]'''The Sigil of Trasidy and Powers.'''[[File:TrasidySymbol.jpg]]==

*Where the Primal Squiggle is inscribed is a closely guarded secret.   The sigil is not an object of veneration nor and object of public discussions or visibility.   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. 

*''10 pip Basic Imprint.  Frame can hold 8 Minor Spells and 4 Major Spell
*''20 pip Advanced Imprint. Frame can hold 12 Minor Spells and 6 Major Spell 
*''40 pip Lord's Imprint.  Frame can hold 16 Minor Spells and 9 Major Spell

*There are a number of walkable sigil across the realm.  Most closely protected by Temple of Rosada.
*The sigil has a transport function like patterns but its range is only the Plain of Trasidy.
*One odd function of a sigil is that it will only allow itself to be walked by a new person if someone with the imprint already has finished walking it and waits at the end for the new person.  Once the new person is on the path the experienced walker may leave the sigil.
*Walking the Sigil is easy.  It has little resistance, and seems to welcome the new person.
*High Order Sorcery is available on a Trasidy Frame, as is empowering contact and transport trumps.  
*Trasidy Trumps reach outside the realm but transport trumps do not.

*'''There may be many shadows within this realm but if there are they are small pocketed ones and not separate worlds'''
