The seas of Felarya

The Amethyan Sea is the vast body of water to the south of the Felaryan main land that stretches from the Topazial Sea to the Shimmering Sea. It is named the Amethyan Sea for the violet hue that looks similar to that of an Amethyst during the rising and setting of the sun. Out of the three known sea's the Amethyan is by far the largest of the three with islands as large as or larger than the fairy kingdom and Coral Reefs the size and magnificence of which dwarfs anything previously seen. A place where one is likely to meet the great Leviathan Mermaids or the mighty Kraken Caelias as they ply the vastness of the water making way between the East and the West. And where the farther you get away from the main land the more erratic and unpredictable the seas become. Many an unfortunate mariner meets their end as that small unassuming cloud in the distance turns into a giant Hurricane and wind swept Tsunamis abound appearing in hours if not minutes with little to no warning. Where the sighting of water spouts thousands of feet high and maelstroms hundreds of feet wide and countless leagues deep soon become common sight the further out you go. Yet despite these dangers there are many a merchant fleet that dare these waters for the wealth to be found in trade from the cities of the Topazial Sea to the cities of the Shimmering Sea.

Located just between the center of the Amethyan Sea before you encounter the great storms, Razor Reef is a massive coral reef that is home to colonies of very organized Actiniaes who just cover almost the entire reef. At first glance a human would think this place would be a death trap, however this isn’t the case at all. The Actiniaes actually in spite of their venomous nature, are very laid back and easy going towards humans and most other races and would never see any of them as food (though there are some exceptions) the little special mermaids who live around Actiniaes are very useful in helping send messages, and to help with various other tasks around the reef and make up most of the local population other than the Actiniaes. One of these tasks the mermaids are given is to identify friendly vessels from dangerous vessels, the reason why the danger level varies is because the Actiniaes have a peace treaty with many of the islanders that live on the many islands close to the reef, and in the Amethyan Seas.

The treaty protects most small races like humans from the colony and allows those races to use the safe passages in the reef, in order to move through safely, however anything over the 12 foot marker that isn’t careful or gets too close to the reef had better watch out, the Actiniaes do not take kindly to other predator races at all. Especially sea slug girls who tend to see the reefs colonies as an all you can eat buffet, however the humans and most other races that live close to the reef like the Actiniaes special mermaids will drive off any sea slug girls on sight. The reef is also home to a colony of Nihlmarreths, who help trade goods between the islanders and the Actiniaes, they also are one of the few races that like their Actiniaes neighbors strongly dislike the sea slug girls and live in the reef for safety.

The reef itself gets its name from the odd razor coral that as its name suggests, is razor sharp coral that is extremely dangerous, it is one of the reasons why most predator have difficulty trying to enter the reef. Most of the corals in the reef are known for their mysterious magical properties and the wealth one can get from harvesting this coral can set a person for life, however there are several draw backs to attempting to take the coral. For one finding just the right corals to take can be very dangerous, because not only are some species of the coral highly poisonous, some of the corals are actually able to eat living things which does include humanoids. Apart from the dangers of not just finding the right corals, the locals do not take kindly to those who would deliberately damage the reef and steal any of the coral will not have it easy around the reef, and given how the Actiniaes are spread through nearly the entire reef. Trying to steal and of the coral is usually a very fatal or short lived experience, however this doesn’t mean it’s impossible to get any of the coral, if an Actiniaes is in a good enough mood their usually more than willing to give some coral to family or a friend.

At the very center of the reef is something very special, a very giant Actiniaes lives in the center and acts as a chieftess of sorts, she is said to be the very first Actiniaes to have grown up in the reef and from her all the other Actiniaes began to grow throughout the reef. Her duty is to maintain order and keep the reef organized, she is on fairly good terms with humans and as tokens of peace she is usually given big fish and presents to show respects for her, usually the chieftess will give jewels or shells of some kind (that her mermaids give to her) to those who give her gifts in order to show her own retrospect’s towards those people.

The Icathy Islands are a group or chain of islands of various sizes leading out to the "half way" point between both the Shimmering and Topazial Sea's as well as the relatively "safe" zone provided by Razor Reef that is a little further to the North of the Islands that acts as a natural barrier that stretch's for miles in either direction. Though the Icathy Islands are a "chain" of islands they are more accurately a chain of active and dormant volcanoes though most of them barely rate any notable size or usefulness due to volcanic activity there are a few that are worth mentioning. The volcanic activity of these islands also acts as a barrier of sorts as many of these islands are still quite active and not all of them are visibly above the surface so the few active volcanoes that are large enough to breach the water’s surface will fill the air with ash that keeps out all but the most determined Harpy and will normally cover the few ships that ply the water ways between the islands in darkness or near darkness as the ash clouds blot out the sunlight and provide decent cover. While those volcanoes under the seas surface erupt letting loose their poisonous gasses free into the water and if that was not deterrent enough the ever hot magma that comes up from those under water volcanoes is hot enough to raise the water to boiling temperatures that makes it hard for most creatures that live under the sea to get close to the islands from the southern or outer edge of the island chain as the more active islands make up the most of the islands to the trailing outer edge both above and below the water. With these volcanic activities one would wonder why any sea creature would hazard these islands but it is these very hazards which make the Icathy Islands so desirable to those that would approach it but from the East or West but not the North or South.

The main and largest of these islands Icathy has a large colony of Ichthys that live in its waters around as well as on the island attracted to the safety offered to them by the natural barriers all around they made their homes in underwater cities made from extinct and empty magma tunnels that have glowing crystals inside the tubes to make some truly breath taking naturally made sights. On the islands surface the Ichthys act in rather similar manner to humans in port cities found elsewhere but here they trade the stuffs they find and trade between the Messenger Mermaids of Razor Reef with the humans that have made Icathy Island a true marvel to behold in its farming produce.

Icathy Island due to its rich soil from its previous and current volcanic activity makes its soil extremely rich for plants of all varieties to grow and as part of an agreement with the Actiniaes of Razor Reef the human and Ichthys have agreed to provide some of the rather unique and diverse land based foods. Though the idea of a farming island sounds preposterous at best the human inhabitants have managed to make a living from farming and trading their produce with the Ichthys and by trade with them with the Actinaes of Razor Reef and forming a strong lasting agreement with them. This agreement of shipping produce from the islands to the Actinaes as well as some other items has led to the two groups coming to the point where there are a few Ichthys or humans that are allowed to approach the reef and harvest Razor Coral.

Also due to this agreement and many years of somewhat peaceful living the inhabitants of Icathy Island are able to make occasional trips with vessels laden with foods and the precious Razor Coral to various ports in either the Topazial or Shimmering Sea. However the with the Topazial being a lot closer trips to the Shimmering Sea are a lot more rarer but are highly profitable due to the time between trips between the Icathy Island and those ports in the Shimmering Sea. However the trips to either seas is perilous as the Razor Reef does not extend all the way to either sea it only provides a small as compared to the sea it is located in area of respite from most of the giant predators found in the Amethyan Sea but not the random weather currents.

Though it is relatively safe near the Icathy Islands (your still liable to find yourself or your ship being preyed upon by the occasional Giant Mermaid or Chalaena that finds their way into the safe area provided by the volcanic islands and Razor Reef.) the random weather patterns are still a hazard to all as flash tsunamis from erupting volcanoes underwater create towering walls of water that will capsize nearly all forms of water borne vessels. Or the ash clouds from above prevent even the most seasoned navigator to note all the reefs or shallows that may beach a ship or tear its hull open wide. Even on the island's themselves it is not entirely safe as there are still Fire or Magma Elementals that live in or around the constantly active volcanoes and poses a very high threat to those that approach the islands. In fact the main island Icathy has an entire section that is still partially active as magma constantly comes out from the active volcano expanding Icathys land mass in one direction making it larger. But due to the heat and constant Magma Rivers above and below the unstable ground there are always elementals to be found near there so the human inhabitants leave that area well alone least they garner the ire or attention of those wild beings.

The Citadel is not one massive structure but a combination of different sized domes and structures. The domes very from size due to the different requirements each one hast to fill, from the massive hanger to the large farms and animal pens to the small houses for officers and horned guests. Even with out the defencive structures, the domes are quits hard to destroy or even dent them, mainly due to the fact that 99% of them are under ground. The only domes not under ground are observation/recreation domes. The other reason is the versatile adaquantium used in all the structures. However, one does not simple go up to a dome and start bashing at it with out first passing the gauntlet of turrets and other defencive buildings. The defencive structures are very numerous and have much more armor then the domes. The few know one are as follows, tesla cannons, thermal coils, torpedo launchers, various projectile launchers, and The Ring. Not to mention the large fleet of submersibles that would swarm you like angry bees... angry bees that fire exploding stingers, electricity, and any manner of very hurting things. So this doesn’t seem like a problem, then lets say you manage to crack open a dome or even a turret, congratulations every one has probable evacuated it by now and you now have to break through a 5 foot thick bulk head made of heavy adaquantium which is at the junction of ever tower and dome, oh and deal with all the towers, ships, and other fun things you passed on you way in. Have fun.


In regards to gaining unforced entry, or even being allowed to come within The Rings parameter, is dependent on acquiring a sponsor from a highish ranking member of the Scythe.

Two note worthy structures are the hanger gate and The Ring.
The gate is a massive 1x2 mile door 50 foot thick bulk head that can close in approximately 10 min.

The Ring is, well, a giant ten mile in diameter ring around the Citadel, it constantly emits a powerful emp field inside its parameter and around 100 yards up, while non-lethal is quite uncomfortable to anyone passing into it and lethal to any vehicle not from Scythe origin. It is powered in section so if some one wanted to take it out of the picture, they would have to completely destroy it entirely.




Tesla cannons work by a rotating metal film creating a supercharged static charge that is then aimed using the focal point at the end of the cannon. this static charge is no mere zap, from rubbing you socks on the carpet, its capable of cracking metal, melting flesh, and burning bone. Its effective range is between 20-100 yards, but its is still electricity and can on rare occasions completely avoid its target for random reasons. With regards to under water combat they instead use a harpoon to connect with their target.

The thermal coils work by super heating metal plates and creating a super heated wall of hurt going around 250 - 400 yards up depending on the temperature and current of the surrounding water. These surrounding all external structures including The Ring. However they are more of a deterrent then an actual weapon



Adaquantium is a growing metal found on the the planet Orta. While in its natural form its grows about as fast as a tree, it will not grow once clipped from the root. The Scythe faction however, has developed small chips the call ‘Bios’ that can induce and speed up growth , and program it to only grow in to a certain form, I.E. the walls of a dome. These Bios are very well protected, and are never allowed to any one out side of the faction. Adaquantium grows in three types dubbed heavy, regular, and light. regular is simply called adaquantium while the other two have their type place before adaquantium. The heavy is mainly used in tanks and doors because while stronger, it grows slower and is much heaver. Regular is used in almost all other construction, from buildings to battle armor. The light grows the fastest and is remarkably light, is mainly used to reinforce other material like glass, but it is also used in airship construction. Every version of the metal can with stand the crushing depths of the deep ocean and still be able to with stand massive amount of physical punishment. Do to the growing trait of adaquantium it is quite oxidation resistant, but when stagnate it will still rust.


Volt boxes are used in every suit, building, and vehicle of the faction. They very in size but all have the same function, to absorb and redistribute electrical energy. They work essentially like a battery but more complex, as they can not store the energy them selves. They are generally wired in next to the engine and by attaching cables at various key points in the structure in question. They work by absorbing electrical energy from a source ( I.E. The Ring or tesla cannon) and then dissipating it so the electrical devices and crew are not harmed. These devises are never allowed to falling to non-faction hands since doing so could potentially ruin the usefulness of The Ring.

Spikes are a device that goes around the forearm of the user and acts as a PDS, named because of the ‘spike’ used to connect with terminals to input collected data. they do not have a wifi ability but can be mounted with a wide verity of senors to collect data. To keep them charged while not at a terminal they have a crank to charge the power cells. In addition to the add-ons, the spike comes equipped with a discharge feature that acts as a mini tesla cannon and can be continuously discharge so long as the persons arm doesn’t get tired... The devices them selves are not terrible important to the faction, the information that can be on them is, as they are typically only used by officers and the R&D teams.

Purity Seals are magical items designed to repel magic. They are place in and on almost everything made by Scythe. Their strength depends on how strong the mage or preist that created it and how much time was put into it creation.

Glob is a thick rubbery substance used to coat the buildings and ships as way to prevent oxidation of the adaquantium, as well as being an extremely efficient insulator. Its made of both natural and artificial compounds that is not water soluble and is extremely resistant to friction and extreme temperature changes. It is capable of with standing temperatures as high as 2000 c and as low as 130 c. It is applied by spraying a ‘glob’ of it on the surface in question, then smoothing it out. It will then adhere to the surface while letting its exposed side be touched with out sticking to any thing. Since it is meant to be used in harsh environments it is about as bio degradable as plastic, but is is non toxic, while not advised, can be ingested with out harm to you body save for the possible bowl obstruction if a large enough piece is consumed.

Mk1 Hydrogen engine is the second smallest version of hydrogen engines, mainly used in smaller vehicles and larger power suits. It works, as all hydrogen engines do, by taking clean water and separating the oxygen from the hydrogen, this act, while it takes energy also creates energy that is used in the process . While in this state the oxygen is then moved to holding tanks and the hydrogen to others. The hydrogen is the sent to a combustion chamber that uses huge pressure to ignite the hydrogen gas and power the pistons that generate the power. The excess heat and steam are then vented out of the system so as no not over heat. The oxygen is used in the process but only in bulk for slowing down a vehicle, the rest is used a an air supply for the crew.
In regards to separating other matter like sand and dirt, there is a special chamber in each engine that, once the engine is going, takes surrounding water and filters it, while some pistons push the remaining debris into pipes that remove it from the system. the MK(x) merely shows how big the engine is with the higher the number, the larger the model, there are some exceptions.

The Scythe faction was the greatest military organization on Orta until the Great Betrayal happened. They where not conquers nor where they loyal to one tribe. They were and are a mercenary organization, however they follow a strict code of ethics and will always fulfill a contract. Exceptions are only valid if they believe they are being tricked or betrayed. They do have families in the Citadel but there main source of possible initiates are from neighbouring populations. Becoming a member is the same as earning ranks and prestige in the faction, having spent time and completing trials by fire. Any only is eligible to join but not every one passes or survives the trials. It is expected that each member be in peak physical condition as well as be unflinching in the face of danger. The faction before the Great Betrayal was very suspicious of others out side of the faction, so after it they are just that much more so, but this doesn’t mean they would want your business just that don’t walk behind them or make sudden movements in their presence.



The Great Betrayal was when the other waring tribes and factions of Orta decided, that since Scythe would never bow to any one of them and refused to share any of its tech secretes with anyone else, they should all storm the Citadel and reap the benefits of the plunder there in. Now Scythe could have dealt with this problem but the other world powers were not fools they took years of planning and propaganda but eventually made Scythe look like a terrorist organization and that eliminating them was a justified cause. With essentially the entire planet barring down on them the Scythe faction used a scroll they had accidentally created while trying to find a faster way of travel with magic. The spell, called ‘Roulette’, wiped the mind of its creator about its function, but with a few years to study it, the mages involved determined that it would transplant the Citadel The Ring and every thing in between to another suitable location not on Orta. It did this by switching places with the new location in question and the Citadel. How ever since is was such an enormously powerful spell there was a choice on which location the discharge would happen, well it wasn’t that tough a decision.
