A beautiful planet, forged by the Eleven draconic deities that shaped the land in their vision and likeness. Home of the majority dragon race, but who is to say there isn't life beyond the stars? Here in the Aristyllus galaxy, life goes far beyond Sornieth. Aristyllus is teeming with life scattered all around. While they may not orbit the same sun as Sornieth and may seem too far to reach, draconic life has found its way to take over and control its galaxy. ----- [font=times]The Aristyllus Galaxy is a compilation of all my different clans and lore. It doesn't necessarily follow canon Flight Rising lore. [nextcol][color=transparent]xxxxxxxxxx [/columns]

Of the four major dragon-inhabited planets, Sornieth is the only one that was influenced by the Eleven deities. With twelve distinct territories of which eleven are shaped with the vision of their respective deities, Sornieth is the ideal home for dragons with a strong elemental affinity. It is also the only planet which participates in dominance. Life on Sornieth is as traditional and yet varied as it gets. A variety of different clans which follow different traditions and rites, ranging from the earliest of traditions to the newest of trends, live among the lands. Besides dragons, beastclans rule the lands of Sornieth not affected by the elemental reign of the deities. These creatures vary in many ways, from their looks to intelligence. Some choose to live alongside dragons as allies and friends, while others remain in the wild, watching draconic society carefully. ----- [nextcol][color=transparent]xxxxxxxxxx [/columns] [center][img]https://i.imgur.com/QC9wlPr.gif[/img]

While the AI system was originally addressed as ACAS, it is now fondly addressed as Atlas, after the spaceship. The ATLAS travels at 20,000km per hour during idle travel and is able to generate enough power for hypertravel to get from one planet to another in a few hours. The crew on board have a longstanding history with each other and get along well, but will often do their own things when reaching different planets in search of different bounties, jobs, and people. The spaceship is currently hovering over Xorus, though its main dock is located in Silvis, just off the coast of the Shifting Expanse on Sornieth. ATLAS is able to stay in space for over eight months at a time, assuming supplies are full. However, it docks every three months at the nearest planet terminal for routine maintenance. The crew is made up of mostly mercenaries who traverse the different planets in search of lucrative bounties. ----- [font=times] ATLAS houses multiple services to ensure that the ship and crew can function. [b]Crew's Quarters[/b] The crew's quarters are private sleeping areas for the crew of the ATLAS. Each quarter has a locked safe and is personalised to the owner's likings. [b]The Bridge[/b] The bridge is where the commander controls the ship's entire functions including power, navigation, weapons, ventilation, and locks. The bridge is also where ACAS is stored. [b]Medical Bay[/b] On the lowest deck closest to the ramp is the medical bay for easy access. It is run by Dr. Alistair Malakai and is equipped to handle even the most severe and extreme injuries that may be sustained. [b]Lounge[/b] On deck two is the lounge, where crew can go to relax and have a drink served by one of the automated robots. There is also a small pantry next to the lounge where food can be prepared. [b]Engine Room[/b] The engine room houses the eight engines that are used to power the entire ship. Power controls can also be manually controlled here in case of malfunctions that Atlas cannot fix. [b]Workshop[/b] The workshop is where Blake spends most of his time, tinkering on new weapons whenever he isn't on some planet shooting and looting with Navire. While he is the one in charge of the workshop, he doesn't mind if others come down to borrow his things. [b]Firing Range[/b] The firing range is where crew comes to test out weapons. It also doubles as an armoury and houses extra weapons, ammunition, and repair stations. [nextcol][color=transparent]xxxxxxxxxx [/columns]

[center][img]https://i.imgur.com/BHDawNe.gif[/img] [columns][color=transparent]xxxxxxxxxx [nextcol]----- [center][font=times]Introduction | Sornieth | [b]Xorus [/b]| Nichilles | Iceris ----- [font=times]While Xorus is in the habitable zone, it is also the closest habitable planet to the sun. This makes the planet very hot. It also has a slow orbit, one day taking 75 hours and one year taking over 400 days. This slow orbit causes the planet to "roast like a rotisserie chicken" as the locals claim. Because of this, the locals also do not bother keeping track of time. The days are ridiculously hot, going as high as 60 degrees celsius, or 140 degrees fahrenheit. The nights however, are a cool 35 degrees celsius. While most tourists still think this is too warm, the locals find it to be just right. The planet is very dry and lacks vegetation. Most of the land is empty, barren dirt and sand with sweltering heat. Cities always build themselves by a body of water, with the largest cities being entirely coastal or islands. The distribution of cities results in a lot of empty space, which gave way to the most popular sport in Xorus - racing. Culture on Xorus is something that visitors from Sornieth, Khimsek, or Nichilles would say is extremely lacking. The locals would deny this however. Life on Xorus may not have been around for as long as Khimsek or Sornieth, but they built a culture of their own that is extremely vehicle-centric. Because of the massive barren land that is unused due to lack of nearby water, vehicular sports is extremely popular in Xorus. Racing is the sport with the longest history for Xorus. Racing is the global sport for Xorus and to be a professional racer is something that is held in very high esteem. Tracks and obstacle courses pepper the dunes, though some are so popular or famous that only celebrities or members are allowed inside. Cars on Xorus shun having fancy golden rims or a shining jet black hood - the messier and more grungy your car looks, the better here. Many vehicle owners will decorate their cars with rust, dirt, and spikes. Decorating and weathering cars is a prominent point in Xorusian culture. While all cars come off the line shiny and new, owners do not clean off the rust and dirt from the surface except for the windows, mirrors, and windshield. Paint, stains, scratches and dents are all the sign of a car that was well-loved and well-used. It isn't unusual to see someone in a beat-up monster truck being trailed by a flock of ladies. Nightlife is the second biggest point of culture in Xorus. Because the nights are long at just about 32 and a half hours, most people come out at night to work and play. When dusk comes around, people start coming outside to set up shop. Almost all cities have a dedicated area for nightlife with bars, pubs, clubs, and lounges. Despite these dedicated streets, nightlife is a city-wide thing. Restaurants, street performances, and parades happen throughout a city at night. The most exciting celebration at night is the quarterly car parade. Vehicle owners will decorate their cars with neon lights and other extras and drive all around the dunes. The parade is a show of creativity and modernism, and something tourists from all around the galaxy will come to watch. The most shocking part of Xorusian culture is the lack of calendars or clocks. Because the days drag on and the years are long, most locals don't care about the time, date, or year. All that matters is that when the sky gets dark, it's time to party. ----- [nextcol][color=transparent]xxxxxxxxxx [/columns] [center][img]https://i.imgur.com/1EuucNE.gif[/img]

[img]https://i.imgur.com/1EuucNE.gif[/img] [columns][color=transparent]xxxxxxxxxx [nextcol]----- [center][font=times]ATLAS | [b]The Lawless[/b] | The Last City | The Helicate ----- [font=times]Hidden away from the rest of the world at the end of a dangerous canyon filled with nothing but lifeless carcasses lies the dusty and forgotten town of Stagpoint. No one knows who built the town or why they picked the end of a canyon with no signs of life or resources other than dirt and heat. The town lacks much, its glory days having long since faded. Buildings are old and ruined, dust lining every surface. Fresh water is hard to come by, and the heat sears every form of life. Despite these shortcomings, Stagpoint still has people living there, hardened enough to chew nails and spit 'em back out. Generations of families have lived and died in the town's small boundaries, working each and every day in a cycle of clockwork. Life in Stagpoint was boring and routine, until a pair of people showed up. Stagpoint finally gained something new when two young lads, Kryzec and Jericho, appeared at the town's gates. They settled into the dusty old town, socializing and getting to know the people while their own motives for appearing remained hidden. Currently, Kryzec is known as the town's Sheriff and Jericho is Stagpoint's Judge. Along with several new friends and interested parties, they seek something powerful buried under the very sand the town is built upon. ----- [font=times] Stagpoint is located in Carrion Canyon, right at the east end. Around all sides except west is high canyon walls, impossible for any resident to climb up, and too risky for attackers to fall down from. Their secluded and undesirable location has warded off most people from attacking them, for the risk is too high for a lack of reward from the dusty old town. [b]Josiah's Oasis[/b] Named after Josiah Aguirre I, the oasis is the main source of water in Stagpoint. It is a small but fairly deep pond which serves as a water source for the farm as well. Water is not directly drank from the oasis. Instead, a simple pipe system runs underneath the ground to a water purifier that was obtained by Nicholas Mercy in a one-off business deal. The oasis is the only place fit for any plant that isn't built to withstand the desert's harshness. [b]Farm[/b] The farm was also built by Josiah Aguirre I and remains standing today. It is currently in the care of Anton Steele and Russel Cameron, with Ada Morrow helping out from time to time. The farm grows wheat, ground vegetables, and an apple tree. It also previously did not have any animals, but thanks to Nicholas Mercy, it now has a pair of cows and some chickens. [b]Sheriff's Office[/b] Despite its name, not only the Sheriff lives and works in the central building. Judge also occupies the building and is in there most of the day, unlike the Sheriff. If anyone has a complaint to submit or needs the Sheriff, the office is the place to go. [b]Bazaar[/b] Where the residents of Stagpoint make most of their living selling vegetables, cloths, and where Nicholas Mercy comes to drop off his business from larger towns out of the canyon. [b]Inn[/b] The inn is typically quiet, with very few visitors coming by. Most of the inn's business comes about during the hottest months and the monsoon seasons, when travelers looking to pass the canyon need to stop to ride out the bad weather. [b]Stable[/b] The stable is manned by Julian McNile, and is home to seven horses. Occasionally, Nicholas Mercy takes the older horses out of town to sell, and comes back with younger, newer horses. [b]Outpost[/b] The first line of defence for the town, the Outpost always has someone watching in case the other gangs that prowl the canyon decide to make an advance. The outpost is equipped with a rudimentary alarm system. When activated, all major lights in Stagpoint flicker on repeat. Sheriff, Julian McNile, and Judge are often the ones who respond to any threats. [b]Graveyard[/b] The resting place of great and notorious former residents of the town, including Josiah Aguirre I, Victor Wellforth, and Helena Wellforth. Some pets are buried here, including Honesty, Josiah Aguirre I's famed horse. [b]Wellforth Manor[/b] The largest private compound in Stagpoint, Wellforth Manor lies ten minutes on horseback away from the main town. Once a great settlement of the rich and glamorous Victor and Helena Wellforth, it now lies in ruins, slowly crumbling down as Alice Wellforth fails to take care of the house.
