Beauty with a dagger behind its back
Fiora
Fiora's renaissance cities reward art and ingenuity, yet Paliano's magically binding politics make trust the rarest luxury on the plane.
Plane profile
A world worth knowing
Fiora looks built for admiration: elegant skylines, ambitious inventors and a capital designed to display wealth and taste. Paliano turns that beauty into camouflage. Legislative power can bind citizens through law, and the people writing those laws treat blackmail, assassination and technicalities as ordinary instruments of office.
The High City's habits reach beyond its walls through corruption, patronage and old schemes, but Fiora is larger than Paliano. Remote towns and an underexplored wilderness offer lives that are not entirely defined by court manoeuvring. Explorers such as Selvala represent the plane's other possibility: discovery without an audience waiting to weaponise it.
