#Septopolis 23: You, outlander! I see from your garb that you're a discerning and cultured sort. I have for sale a genuine replica of the First Emperor's own shield--for you, a mere twenty Haamalid dinars! What a steal!

#Septopolis 23: The Imperial Military Academy at Chernoz has a small collection of war memorabilia, none of it accessible to the public. Chernoz itself has all kinds of privately-owned museums, tours, and artifacts on display in pubs and inns to swindle tourists and travellers out of their money.

There are lots of places people can go in the City of Gates! Taverns, social clubs, coffee shops, etc. The problem is, they are all sort of full of tourists. So, none of the locals really want to hang out there.

Everyone needs a break from the travelers time-to-time, right? 🧵

Historytown is intended to be a “third space” for folks in Eloy and beyond, with varying degrees of success. I know Disneyland fans made their own “social clubs” and I wonder if Rochester might make official ones, themed to each land/territory. But that doesn’t address… #HistorytownAZ #Septopolis

One of the keys to The Mayor's long and comfortable reign as supreme overlord is ensuring that the citizens are bloated with leisure time and shiny distractions. Which is why every Sector has a seemingly endless selection of businesses and event spaces to cater to your every desire.

Technomancer trials!

But before I get to them, let me add that I'd expect "standard" sports to still very much happen within ALARES, with a few fields/rooms starting to pop up inside the Bunker as it expands. That, and a selection of advanced computer/VR games. 🧵

#Septopolis The main third space left in Amperion is the Red Door. It's a tavern in a run-down part of the city which is frequented by the rebellion, and it's where they meet to plan strategy and introduce new recruits.

It's also where the pit fights happen.

OH LOOK ITS THE PROMPT THAT MADE ME MAD WHEN I FIRST SAW IT

I MISS MY THIRD SPACES

...ahem.

There are taverns, hunter's clubs, and other places to gather, but today I wanna talk about Gossamer dens as the iconic third spaces of surface Zagnat.

#Septopolis

I mentioned several such places in Arcadia in passing through this game, so I'll use this post to discuss them in more detail.

#Septopolis 2026! 9/24 As alcohol is banned by Ashi faith and so by Mukhad law, there are no bars to be found. Instead can be found the substance Caqac, the dried leaves of a local plant served in dens and consumed either as a tea or smoked. It acts as a stimulant and is mildly psychoactive.

In the Hidden Oasis, this is primarily the city's many parks and gardens, and the giant reservoir lake where a lot of little social events take place that are major moments in a person's life, in particular especially for cadets. 🧵

In Capria, there are "sanctuaries" where people go to drink, do drugs, and listen to music, stories & poetry. Think like an opium den mixed with a mead hall.

While sometimes shady business might happen in these places, they're generally treated as sacred, hence the name...

#septopolis

The coral gardens are going to be a big one, as well as the library that i mentioned yesterday.

The main rest stop is intended to be the topside bar owned by Elysia. I dont talk about her much because reducing scope meant moving much of this to the box of "future hopes and dreams"

There's quite a few of these in Chevrefoil! Casual interconnectedness is important in elven culture, so it's a standard part of city infrastructure: parks with petanca setups and lush gardens; open-air markets; temples; bars.

But today I'll talk about dance halls and bathhouses!

Myriad. Yerulo don't do nuclear families or have single family dwellings, so their ratio of free time/ space is really different.

Restaurants are everywhere, as well as bars and coffee shops. There are also establishments that serve drinks and snacks but cater first to gaming, cards,

#Septopolis

Kingsbridge has a strong restaurant culture, so almost ALL of this will revolve around restaurants, cafes, diners, pubs, and food courts.

Just about every resident has a place they might be considered a "regular," be that daily, weekly, or more sporadically.
Remember those...

#TheDragonblood: Again, starting with what you won't find: bars or coffeehouses. Not in the sense of establishments that serve alcohol or caffeine. The souls of the Souled protect them from the effects. They still have restaurants aplenty, where you can enjoy good food.

#septopolis whoops (it's a whole thread)

#Septopolis

Speakeasies, mainly. Xolotl has banned the sale of alcohol outside of medicinal Pulque.

They're trying to keep Chivo's killer Xochitl from flooding the streets, but this has backfired spectacularly and Tzin City is drowning in Chivo's alcohol and ammo.
