Feoras is a land of great beauty and great sorrow. In ancient times, the isolated island was its own world, warring, celebrating, and living by its own rules. Its first contact with the outside world was violent, but it resulted in the assimilation of the invader culture into its own. However, this would not be the trend and the next encounter ended with Feoras being the assimilated party. For centuries, it was subjugated by Demonessian masters until the modern age brought with it change: enormous destruction, followed by brief freedom and then patronizing stewardship. The island suffered from poverty, but there was still beauty to be found. While its five remaining ethnicities live in an enforced peace, the tourist areas benefit from the economic boon and generate a false sense of wealth. Tourists are attracted by Mauna Inaka, the volcanic center of the island, and the black sand beaches she generated. The gentle slope of the continental shelf allows swimmers to wade into a seemingly endless sea and walk up to boats parked in the shallows. Its coral reefs are untouched in certain parts of the island and the fauna found there are unmatched. With the economy centered around the tourism trade, it is hard to leave the main areas. However, the adventurous tourist may find other ways to pass the time. The Genfiotes in the south control the tourism areas, making sure they are clean and presentable, as do their neighbors in Ahi'iana. The Genfiotes, however, present a curiosity: their religious leaders, known as the Undying. These leaders dress entirely in grey and cover their faces with a mask and veil. When they speak, they speak as if they are not an individual; they speak as if they are from a collective consciousness, which can be unnerving for some. In Fuwoku, one can find the farmers, who toil away in the dirt and respect animals as much as humans. For the adventurous, there is Kain, a land of warriors where the leader is determined through battle prowess. While Mpali represents the industrialized portion of the island, Isis certainly fairs the best as the seat of the former colonial masters. Humanitarians may seek to provide relief from poverty and criminals may find a new foothold, but tourists, explorers, and travelers may find adventure. |

"But our beaches are so much nicer," Kakia added with a smile. |

"Really? And how do you know zat, hm?" Vlad teased, "Have you ever been to a Cetatsenian beach? Zey are actually quite lovely; at least during ze Spring and Summer." |

"Ah, but our beaches are open year round and beautiful every day!" Kakia replied. "And they are quite a tourist attraction. Not many places in the world can boast black sand beaches." |

"Cetatsenian beaches are pretty all year around too. But zey are just too cold to be worz visiting for part of ze year," Vlad said, "Zough you do have a point about ze sand, nozing quite like it in Cetatsenia." "Probably on account of zere not being any volcanoes near ze shore," Andrei added. Vlad nodded his head in agreement, "Yeah. And I have to say, ze black sand is absolutely beautiful. Zough it is not ze only reason we came." |

"There are plenty of reasons to visit here, even if one only looks at the scenery," Kakia replied. "There are the beaches, Mauna Inaka, and our beautiful temples to Ke'ea. Depending on how long you stick around, you may also see a few of our holidays." OOC: I'm not sure "when" we are: 15 May or right now. |

OOC: I tend the think of 'now' as being the day the RP first started (assuming no days have passed IC). "But Cetatsenia is beautiful too, you know. You should visit it sometime," Vlad said, "The Vedic Mountains can be breaztaking and some of ze older architecture is just stunning." "Zere are occasionally tours of ze Palatul Regal, ze Royal Palace," Andrei said, "And it is a fortress zat has been inhabited since ze 13z Century." |

OOC: Fair enough, but as these stretch out, it gets harder to keep it the same day. ![]() IC: "That's quite old," Kakia replied. "But you allow a tour of the place where your monarch lives? It's not guarded?" |

"Oh no, it is guarded by ze Garzile de la Palat," Vlad replied, "Plus ze tours are guided, and zey take staying wiz ze tour guide very seriously." "And ze Garzile de la Palat are some of ze highest trained soldiers in ze Cetatsenian military," Andrei added, "I am special forces, and if I and one of ze Guardsmen were to fight it would most likely be an even match."

"It must be very odd to have people in your house while you are there," Kakia mused. "Or are there private areas and public areas?" Subconsciously, she nodded toward the Governor's Mansion as she spoke. "None of the buildings here are large enough for that. There were colonial estates and such, but they are either all private or all public because they are 'historical'." |

"Zere are parts zat are off-limits, like ze section zat contains ze personal rooms of ze Voivode and his family," Andrei said, "It is technically all private property of ze Voivode, ze tours exist because he allows zem to." "Plus it is quite massive. Simply calling it a castle belies its size and importance," Vlad added, "It is a Cetatsenian fortress, built by ze first Voivode in history as a symbol of ze strengz and power of ze Voivodes. It is ze first truly Cetatsenian landmark; ozers existed prior to it, but zey were built before Cetatsenia was united." "Poetic." "Vă mulțumesc, frate." |
