	No one knows how this island's inhabitants get their power, only that it comes from a massive building at the center with many large steam-pipes that protrude from it, that the residents have used to convert that steam into electrical power. Life is generally one of splitting time between interests or minding the many steam-powered factories. Fashion has taken a rugged mindset here, going with leather, rubber, and denim with many rivets and fasteners. Goggles are a huge fashion statement as well at The Steam Pipes.

	Diver's Bay has no known creation date and no codified history. The mobile settlement is made up of roughly 100-200 ships and floating buildings and one enormous hodgepodge of steel, glass and plastic that started life as six oil rigs welded together. This structure serves as a combination power plant, water purification plant, dock (dry, and wet), bazaar and center of government. (Or what passes for one in Diver's Bay anyway.) The Settlement is run by 3 families (1 nekomimi, one inumimi, and one usagimimi) with 3 clans that specialize in dealing with technology, business, and combat concerns. Diver's Bay wanders the world, never staying in one place for long. They search for new diving spots, making the City Hub larger and larger as time goes by. Occasionally ships, sometimes in large groups or small ones will break off and wander away. (either to found a new town or to seek their fortune) but they're usually replaced rather quickly by adventurers who are searching for that next big score.

	Considered one of the gnarliest places across the Endless Blue, Razor Bay is where Raydude surfers come to test their mettle with the best. The settlement itself consists of houses built on stilts over the rocky shallows or the area with an ancient earless lighthouse at the center. Despite the water only being 5 feet deep in some places, few Kemomimi swim in it due to the ease with which the rocks that make up the sea floor can rip through scuba gear and flesh. Surrounding the settlement are hundreds of thick rock spires jutting out of the shallow water ranging anywhere from 10 to 40 feet tall. Lines and ropes covered in Christmas lights and colored pennants create pathways through the spires where races are held. During the racing season (which is year-round) crowds line the raceways on boats and floating docks to watch Kemomimi race Raydudes for fun, fame, and occasionally fortune.

	When designing a settlement, we think it is generally best to start with some minimal statistics to build from. It is not necessary to fit your description to any specific system (CATastrophe is being adapted to ''three'' different systems, at last count), but there are certain items of useful information that could or should be worked into your description.

	Japari Park is an island populated by all kinds of Kemomimi. For reasons not yet understood those who live there soon lose their long term memories. (drugs in the food? Earless nanotechnology? aliens?) It is generally peaceful with it's residents cared for by Earless machines. There are rumors that Kemomimi who want to forget their past choose to live there. Some say there is a notorious criminal who wanted to make a fresh start. Adventurers landing on the island should be careful or else they lose their memories and become a permanent resident. The island itself is divided into artificially maintained biomes and is structured like a large safari park. Beside the wild animals visitors should also be careful of "Ceruleans" which seem to be rogue Earless machines.		Japari Park is an island populated by all kinds of Kemomimi.

			=== The Silver Island Chain ===
			<small>''created by Partisan Thermite''</small>

			The Silver Island Chain is more of a region than a settlement. It is comprised of the mountaintops of the former Dinaric Alps region of the former country of Yugoslavia: an Earless nation which has been lost to the sea since the Catastrophe. Resting several thousand meters below the roaring Adriatic sea, Earless ruins filled with shinies and long lost artifacts dot the island chain.

			Settlements around this island are built on the beaches of the picturesque dolomite islands, ranging from a few dozen to a few hundred Kemomimi. Earless tech is used to build these cities: solar panels to generate power and drills to break the tough dolomite. The largest settlements on this chain are Crescent Lake, Dawn Island, and Carmine Island which is a Red Rock outpost with a strong Crimson Claw presence: all of which are home to a few thousand Kemomimi each. The islands are rather well-connected, with many ships constantly passing through. T

			There are hundreds of Earless cities below the waves, heavily defended by the Oldguard. The silver island chain is in close proximity to the Red Rock: a quasi-socialist community to the north where the Crimson Claws live and often visit- much to the dismay of more mercantile Kemomimi. The Crimson Claws are willing to share their technology with the inhabitants, but are incredibly hostile to more mercantile groups- often driving them out and taking their ships and gear and marooning them.

	A chain of islands located between 35º and 40º north latitude, and 120º to 122º west longitude (somewhere in the ~~Balkans~~). Some of the islands are merely small mounds or spires of rock and sand, barely rising above water level at high tide. Residents on these smallest islands have houses built on stilts around these high points -- they know where the islands come closest to the water's surface without actually breaching it, and the stilts usually are metal poles driven deep into the rock just underwater. Each of these smaller settlements may have anything from eight to two dozen Kemomimi living there; it is rare for them to possess any electrical equipment that is not powered by human energy, so to speak -- pedaling a bicycle chassis hooked up to a battery in order to recharge it, for example.

	The larger islands are rather steep and mountainous, featuring some trees not to be found anywhere else in the Endless Blue ~~(most likely these islands were formerly part of the Dinaric Alps)~~. There are not many wide-open places where large settlements of Kemomimi can gather, and as a result the entire chain of islands houses less than four thousand full-time citizens. The largest group, however, have settled in the largest island available, a tall and massive crag of rock called Witnie Island; a community of three hundred Kemomimi dwells either on the peaks of the island or in a system of tunnels driven through the rock below. (Rumor has it that the tunnels took 110 years to carve.) Racks of salvaged solar panels hang on the cliffs, facing in the direction of the prevailing sunlight (southward); a small forest of rudimentary, homemade wind turbines provides supplementary power.
