==Geography== The north of Acreage is referred to as Ascadia, which is the domain of Arcreage's High King/Queen. It is consists of thousands of miles of of dark icy forests, rugged mountains and lonely plains, spotted with small villages, gruel fields and sky-mills. Minimal air traffic occupies the skies, as the majority of the planet is a no fly zone. The city of Olrankan, also known as 'the Floating City', sprawls along a section of the realm's southern coast, at a junction between the Sea of Sorrows and the Chitin Swamps, whether this city is in fact, a [[Orbital Plate]], we have no idea. Elevated out of the swamp by countless rotting posts, the city has profited greatly from its close proximity to the Emperor's Island, one of the planets few spaceports. Emperor's Island is a small offshore island, described as a monolithic mess of mingled structures and twisted architecture, with a vast central area being converted into a landing zone. The island host's a selection of low-income housing, retail areas, gambling dens and fighting pits, referred to as 'The Bilges', which carters to travelers and salvagers. The center of the island is dominated by a large tower, used to coordinate Vox transmissions and monitor the spaceport, while a selection of rickety docks located at the island's underbelly connects it by boat to the mainland. Olrankan is ruled over by Prince Orcan and is regularly besieged by his rival's, who covet the wealth the city's proximity to the spaceport has afforded it. However, the prince's access to offworld weapons and soldiers, in particular his guardsmen referred to as the 'Plumes', has enabled him to repulse his rivals each time. While the city demonstrates little in the way of urban planning, certain features can be easily identified including 'The Wharf' which covers the entire seaward side of the city, 'The Hovels' which covers the largest part of the city and houses most of its residences, while 'The Wall' refers to both the cities defensive barricade, as well as structures within its vicinity. The city also hosts the 'The Fabricators District', an industrial area given over to a vast collection of warehouses and factories, mostly specialising in harvesting the various species of swamp weeds and edible insects and rendering them down into clothing or food products. At the city's centre, ringed by a palisade, rests 'The Hill', named in reference to the taller buildings and higher support posts rather than a natural geographic elevation. The Hill is primarily occupied by Prince Orcan and other well-to-do citizens and is guarded by the most elite Plumes.
