[QUOTE="Corpseflower, post: 3121160, member: 45835"] After 100 years of domination and exploitation by foreign powers, the city of Sasserine has seen a period of rebirth over the last decade. Virtually erased from all texts and maps during their isolation, trade routes are slowly reestablished to this hidden jungle city and finally coin flows [I]in[/I] rather than perpetually [I]out[/I]. While violent and destructive crime remains illegal, there are shades of gray in Sasserine- recovered freedom after a century of oppression has left a leniency and open-minded disposition toward lesser crimes. The more conservative elements in the clergy and populace rally for a sterner approach, but the much appreciated coin flowing into the city from developing vice tourism trumps such talk for the moment. Drugs, prostitution, gambling, vagrancy, and the like remain unrestricted and a blind eye is turned toward much of the thriving black market trade throughout the city. Meanwhile Sasserine slowly rebuilds its navy, plantation houses in the surrounding countryside build an export trade, and the newly restored noble households find a way to rule together as the Dawn Council. From the Sea, Sasserine isn't much to look at; two ragged cliffs of stone jut from the coastline, their faces home to seahawks and gulls, but little else. Then a vast rent in the cliff slides into view, its summit crowned by the shattered remnants of an immense stone bridge. Sailing between the slowly eroding stone pylons that once supported the bridge above, a visitor passes from open sea into a thriving harbor of commerce, whaling and intrigue. Certainly the smell of the city is breathtaking- a tremendous riot of exotic spices, smoke, humanity, and sewage that assaults the senses. Perfumes and scented candles are popular commodities in Sasserine. Dress style in Sasserine ranges from rags to riches, but the one thing that applies across all classes is that in this excessively hot humid city, less is more. Public nudity is generally frowned upon, but it's not uncommon to see outfits that leave little to the imagination (for better or worse). Sasserine is split into seven distinct districts, each with its own personality. These districts are separated by inner walls, by networks of canals or rivers, or simply by age. Friendly competetion between districts is common especially during festivals, yet citizens do not hesitate to come to each other's aid. Perched at the edge of civilization, Sasserine is (and always has been) often the target of assault from land and sea. Each of the seven districts is represented not only by an appointed noble, but by an allied church. [/QUOTE]
