Day 19 of #Septopolis!

Now THIS is where it gets interesting >:)

Of the entire region, Moondale is actually the most well-equipped regarding education and medicine, not only because they are a border village, but precisely because of the Moonshapers' Guild as well.

Day 18 of #Septopolis!

An interesting technical urban question that I'll partly leave in the vibes section, as it is something I won't particularly focus on with Land of Gold.

However! There IS something uniquely Bohemian about potable water in village/peasant communities that I could use..

Zhaaz exports mainly rice, chocolate and medicine, as well as wood for lumber and flowers for perfume. To a lesser extent, paper and metal and stone from the mountains just outside the city.
They import things like fabrics, meat, grains and fruits they can't grow.

A20. Ancus' major exports at the moment are handicrafts, small crops and z-mining airship fuel. Zephrite is used as fuel for airships, so z-mining is it's major industry (for better or for worse). #Septopolis

A19. Sesina has general free healthcare for their denizens, but it is piled under beauracracy. There is one general hospital in the valley area and one clinic / small doctor office in the mountain area. All specialists are be called into Ancus from the great Sesina empire. (5/end) #Septopolis

@thepoetjean.bsky.socialSep 20, 2026, 5:02 PM

A19. Ancus is a small mountain town with an immigrant community, so finding doctors who are qualified and empathetic can be extremely tricky. As a result, there is one general practitioner office with very few doctors (Also similar issues in the valley area). (4/?) #Septopolis

A19. Some parents choose to have their kids learn Ereshian completely over Hespartish for survival reasons; however, this can lead to a disconnect from their home culture. Many Ancus kids are heritage speakers w/ a few of them taking immersion classes to take in both languages. (3/?) #Septopolis

@thepoetjean.bsky.socialSep 20, 2026, 4:56 PM

A19. The approach to language can be interesting! The Sesina Empire's main language is Ereshian, so many kids learn it in Ancus, HOWEVER! The influx of Hepici immigrants in Ancus speak the main Hepici language, Hespartian or Hespartish. Many signs bear both languages (2/?) #Septopolis

Ulen runs Invarra's trade in iron ore - mostly is the unfinished product, but there are skilled smiths in Ulen and throughout Invarra - and is easily the biggest supplier in a very long distance. The mines are finally running out, though, and Ulen's vast economic power is threatened.

Astara is big and full of industry and entertainment.

Humans and mer alike come to see the dancing and listen to the music and watch the fashion shows.

The coral gardens are a tourism spot.

The city can self sustain but they engage in trade

Education in Alkesh is actually on par with that of Eitos rather than that of New Darpana Bay. Due to the plethora of First Nation languages still being spoken, the economic traffic of (1/6)

A19. Ancus is a small town, so even folks in the more well-off Valley folks would be more or less stratified to primary & secondary education. A lot of small towns can be insular, so everyone knows everybody, including teachers, business owners and doctors (1/?) #Septopolis

Being the seat of imperial power on the continent, Bastion's primary export is military and political power.

That's a little glib. Inner Bastion (the province the city is in) is one of the few lands that still produces crops at a high rate, so they export a lot of rice and wheat

Alkesh's primary exports are Lumber, Stone, Natural Gas, Spring Water, and Northern / Polar species of fish. There are also the crops from the First Nation farm lands such as Corn, Wheat, (1/?)

While Lakeside is literally built around the Seven Schools, entry require either 1. Joining the Sorcerers Brigade , or 2. Lots of money.

There's not much wrong with joining the Brigade, besides the fact that it's a military organization and all the downsides that come with that

A18. Cross between magic-tech and some industrialization inspired by the 1800s. Ancus is a mountain town, & because of a mix of xenophobia + classism for the Hepici immigrants, a lot of the locals had to figure out their own engineering or advocate for help in their neighborhoods.

Sabsristin is the capital, so they make laws (lol). They also quarry limestone, used in building. There's not enough farmland in the province to support its population, so they import food, although most of it comes from other provinces in the realm, not foreign lands.

Hello #Septopolis!
Winterstone exports finer crafts, and, especially, alchemical wonders. It's position and strong Alchemists' Guild presence makes it perfect for being the top player in terms of wondrous potions, salves and mixtures.

A17. Otherwise, people use a cross between bicycles, early v of motorbikes, animal-pulled carts, cargo train lines, and anything else needed. #Septopolis

The Great Cities in Talitha Harbor have preplanned trade deals. It's part of their government structure. No one can be more powerful than another, so they all much rely on each other.

Simmah is the primary source of building materials. They are the sole source of glass panes.
