[QUOTE="EzekielRaiden, post: 8659220, member: 6790260"] That, likewise, sounds fantastic! You'd probably find something [I]vaguely[/I] similar in the Ten Thousand Isles of the Sapphire Sea, which stretches between the western coast of the Tarrakhuna (and adjacent lands, such as the northern jungles or the southern "elf" forests) and the faraway east coast of Yuxia, the Jade Home, which is heavily wuxia-inspired (and also mostly unknown to the people of the Tarrakhuna, because it's [I]really really[/I] far away, it takes weeks to sail there even with extremely favorable conditions.) The islands themselves are sort of a blend between Polynesia/Micronesia and the crazy variety you see in the various islands visited by Sinbad the Sailor: some are inhabited, others are deserted apart from dangerous beasts; some have thriving local communities, others are xenophobic tribes; many are rich in resources and thus investigated for possible profit. The further westward you sail, the more it looks like Polynesia and SE Asia; the closer you are to the Tarrakhuna, the more it resembles India or, say, the eastern coast of Africa/southeastern coast of Arabia. Our party's Spellslinger (think gunslinger, but augmented with magic) is a sort of "former wandering sheriff" and magitech engineer type; she's native to the eastern side of the Ten Thousand Isles, but educated in Yuxia. She's come to the Tarrakhuna to expand her knowledge beyond what is known in the world she's familiar with. And, likewise, the Tarrakhuna has only just recently completed formal diplomatic missions to Yuxia, which has caused a huge spike in interest toward imports from there, both in terms of goods and in terms of culture. The party has exploited the clout associated with dining at a fancy restaurant specialized in Yuxian cuisine, and there have been Suspicious Activities associated with some of the "antiquities" dealers selling "authentic" artifacts brought over from Yuxia (most of them being obvious fakes to anyone who actually takes the time to examine them closely.)
