Nashaki Development Thread

Here, you can post ideas and creations you have for the city of Nashaki. There are many things you can develop, whether it be a new Location, a City NPC, or even some new Flora & Fauna. Templates for these commonly developed (and needed) items are below. But that is by no means a complete list of things that can be added to Nashaki, so if you have an idea for anything else... feel free to post them here also! Games, sayings, celebrations, fables, they're all welcome!

The Salt Lakes

Rising up out of the earth like the twisted teeth of a long fallen foe, a red and gold sandstone maze hides one of the strangest collections of lakes in Idalos. Situated far east of the City of Nashaki within the wildest and most treacherous part of the Hotlands, are the Salt Lakes. The water here is dark, murky and mirrors the world around it flawlessly. Nicknamed the Mirror Lakes by some of the locals, these waters hold the heat of the day all through the night and have claimed the lives of many a thirsty and weary traveller.

The Lost Temple of Illusions

Ruined and ransacked, the Lost Temple of Chamadarst is said to be older than the city itself, with materials found in exposed inner walls believed to predate the construction of Nashaki. Though a lot of comparisons can be drawn between the craftsmanship and design, historians agree that the temple’s construction was carried out by some of the very first people to ever walk the Hotlands. Treasure Hunters from all reaches of Idalos have come in search of the ruins, sure that many arcane treasures lay buried here, but without an invitation from the temple of illusions, most believe this sacred place to be nothing more than myth. The legends say that no one finds the temple on purpose and that if one happens to stumble upon its steps, it is because the walls hold something predestined to fall into their hands alone.

Desert Rose

A long fallen statue of an immortal is all that remains of what was once believed to be a loved shrine dedicated to Moseke, admired but not always worshiped by the Qi'ora as a people. The statute was a feat of engineering, standing at over ten stories high when it was first erected in arc 270. No one is sure what brought the stone carving down to its final resting place in the red and gold sands of the Hotlands, though historians think it was the spiteful act of another immortal, angered by the sight of such beauty. The harsh desert sandstorms and unpredictable weather have taken their toll on the statue's finer features, eroding parts of the face, fingers, and shoulders of the fallen monument. There isn't anything very special about the stretch of sand surrounding the stone figure, but some believe the eyes of the immortal once pointed to the lost Temple of Illusions.

Rahkrii Raiders

Named after the second moon, Rahkrii, for their tendency to manuver the red sands of the Hotlands by cover of night, the Rahkrii Raiders are a small band of outcasts, thieves, ex-slaves, and deserters who have come together for a common cause, bound by the glue that is their team of leaders, Eddrick, Nefere, and Talon, each bringing something unique to the group. Eddrick with his military and survival experience, Nefere for her poison-crafting and fearlessness, and Talon, a natural leader and longtime criminal.

The raiders control two seperate territories within the Hotlands, one set upon the cliffs overlooking the main trade route between Nashaki and the city ports to the east, and the other to the west, tucked away within the hidden caves surrounding the Salt Lakes, well beyond the reach of the city's shadow, where a deep water spring provides life for those who would have otherwise died. The two seperate sites have been nicknamed by the crew as 'Rah Cliffs' and 'Krii Caves' east symbolised with a full moon, while a crescent moon marks anything to do with the caves.

Rah is a small site with scattered houses carved from the rock of the cliff in fluid, natural formations that keep them well hidden. Fires are only permitted at night or during sandstorms whe visibility is poor at best, and the people here survive on wine and other alcoholic brews including ale and cider, or anything they can intercept and take on the road. Scuffles over leadership here are few and far between with most preferring the cool air and wealth of water buried within the depths of the Krii Caves.

Krii is almost impossible to find and more often than not the only way to see the inside of the caves is to be taken prisoner by one of the raiders themselves. The network of narrow tunnels and open caves is vast, plunging down into the earths where the hidden spring can be found but is quite the climb to get to. Not only will the sheer pitfalls and poisonous snakes be enough to put most people off, but the far reaching cracks, twists, and turns are said to howl when the wind goes through them, a chilling, mournful sound.

Talon

Name: Talon of the Rahkrii Raiders
Age: Assumed to be in his late fifties to early sixties.
Born: 13 Cylus 654
Title: Faction Leader
Skills: Torture: 60, Leadership: 55, Tactics: 45, Smuggling: 50, Pick-Pocketing: 40.

An experienced thief who was once a well known merchant dealing in Nashaki until he was framed by the competition, disguised as a friend, for something he didn't do and had to flee the city before the authorities came for him. Talon doesn't trust easily, he is a man of his word but will stab his associates in the back if he gets a better offer from somewhere or someone else. He is fond of torture, keeping slaves, treasure hunting, crushing his enemies, and his pet owl, Reepa.

All four locations have been approved, you can find them in the map and locations thread.

Konkaro Sky Caves

In the heart of the Hotlands lies the Konkaro Sky Caves, home to an old Human tribe who have long adapted to life in the desert, living off the land and collecting what little the dry, barren surrounding stretch of sand has to offer. Kova Rain is the current leader of these people and is said to have the power of ‘sight’ looking into the destinies of others, not for gold, but for knowledge, be it words of wisdom, a story from faraway lands, or news of travellers on the road. No one knows if she can actually see the future, but desperate people tend to rationalise anything. Kova is rumoured to be closely related to the Mortalborn Wanderer whispered about in and around the city, and easily recognised by the distinctive scorpion tattoos on her hands. She is fond of dance, working with poisons, and collecting trinkets.

Ghostgate

Beneath the jagged spears of two cliffs thrust into each other is the slanted passage of the Ghost gate. Otherwise indistinguishable from various other geological phenomenon, the Ghostgate has earned a sinister reputation. Reportedly seasoned travelers and caravans give the natural pass a wide berth, claiming that those who cross beneath it are cursed. Just beyond the gate lies a natural spring, all the more tempting for unaware travelers to chance. Although, those who come close to the rocks become aware of the grating quality the wind has whistling through the cliffs. It speaks in hurried, angry speech and inexplicably seems aware of the crimes and guilt a traveler carries with them.

At night tall, pale figures can be seen at a distance standing vigilantly beneath the gate and on the banks of the natural spring. Clearly no ordinary creatures, they stand nearly eight feet tall and gaunt-thin. According to testimony they wear no garments and always face those who are looking at them. However, they have only ever been seen at a distance and none can agree upon their features. Those who camp near the rocks report terrible nightmares and missing companions. Although locals know not to approach, there is a rumor the spring hides a vein of flawless gems... enough to tempt the reckless to test the veracity of local warnings.

Skarr

In the far reaches of the Hotlands lies a place for the desperate and the vengeful. No one is quite sure what the ruins of the wall were originally intended for and the ruined pillars stand as a testament to the skill of their constructors centuries ago. Nowadays, however, these ruins serve a more sinister purpose. It is said that when one wants someone dead, they journey across the Hotlands until they find themselves at the ruins of Skarr. Once there they must provide four things, a dagger, a scroll, payment, and a sacrifice. Wrap the dagger with the scroll and bury it at the base of a pillar. The dagger must be new, never used, and the scroll must bare the name and the location of who must die. Second, the coin must be buried beside the dagger. Not too deep, but deep enough to be covered by the sand. The coin must be generous. The larger the amount, the more likely that the forgotten demons of this place will accept the offering. Finally comes the sacrifice. To order the death of another suggests the inability to do it oneself. A sacrifice must be paid for cowardice and weakness. The desert punishes both and the ancient spirits of Skarr are no different.

A sacrifice of blood, flesh, and bone must be made to the dark assassins who carry out the deed. Wrapped carefully and placed beside the coin and the dagger, it must be of the asker's own body to be accepted. A finger is the common offering, but more drastic sacrifices have been made in the sand. Whatever damned thing inhabits the ruins of Skarr, it seems to take well to both increased coin and sacrifice.

After the request has been made, one must journey home. A year and a day after the offering, one may return to Skarr to see if their request has been granted. If it has, their dagger will be hung along the ancient wall, a cold steel ring driven into the stone to hold the dagger that was wrapped in parchment. These daggers are always stained with dried blood. It is a crime to touch or remove the daggers and many such grisly trophies are drive into the wall of Skarr. No one knows what manner of monster takes part in these gruesome contracts, or why it asks for such dear sacrifices. Those who investigate do not return and superstitious locals avoid the offering unless as a last resort.

Bone Yard

The Bone Yard to the south of Nashaki, located in the Hotlands, is said to be a mass grave and the result of a glorious battle that took place long ago when tribes were still fighting one another for territory, both sides taking many loses. The place seems harmless, right up until someone breaks a bone, either on purpose or underfoot, it is then the sun-bleached bones are reanimated by a protective power the immortal Vri is believed to have cast upon them. The reawakened bone warriors will attack any in the party surrounding the one who did the damage, including animals. Alone they are almost impossible to defeat, but in a group, the odds are evened out slightly. Taking bones from the boneyard is frowned upon, but these bones can be used for defensive purposes or as distraction, as broken anywhere else in the world of Idalos will achieve the same result, pulling the dead up out of their graves to attack.
