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. |

"My family was initially merchants, but during the nineteenth century they invested in banking, so we have a significant investment in local and international banking laws." |

Kakia laughed. "I am not a banker yet. I just know the trade. For now I take photographs." |

Kakia grinned. "That is good to know. I don't think I would like to look like the banker you picture." The server stopped by again. "Would you like anything for dessert?" |

"I will have some frozen custard," Kakia replied. The server nodded and then left while Kakia returned her attention to the Cetasens. "Our meal is nearly finished. Do you have any plans afterward?" |

"I do not zink so," Andrei said, shrugging, "Unless Vlad made plans without me." Vlad just shook his head, "Nope. For our first day we just kind of winged it. And I would say it has turned out pretty well so far." "Why do you ask? Do you have plans?" Andrei asked. |

"Well, I am supposed to head down to the club later tonight to meet with some friends, but I did offer to take you on a tour of the island. It's summer break for me, so I don't really have much that I have to do." |
