| - | Acryn was the largest city on the continent before the Upheaval came, and is now both that and the centre of the largest swathe of Consensus that has been encountered. Sitting on the coast of the Eastern Ocean, the sprawl of the city spans nearly three miles, and the docks are the most extensive in the world. | + | Acryn was the largest city on the continent before the Upheaval came, and is now both that and the centre of the largest swathe of Consensus that has been encountered.

| The Consensus around the city extends to the horizon as can be seen from the city walls, providing ten miles of land that has been re-purposed into farmland, clerics of the Tender and the cities finest mages working day and night to keep it fertile in the face of the salty sea-wind. The Consensus upon the sea extends a similar distance, and the waters are filled with fishing boats for the first few miles. However, few dare to sail much further - the sheer monotony of the ocean means that identifying the boundaries of the Consensus a tricky task - usually only achieved by accidentally leaving it, all familiar terrain vanishing as the Flux embraces you. | The Consensus around the city extends to the horizon as can be seen from the city walls, providing ten miles of land that has been re-purposed into farmland, clerics of the Tender and the cities finest mages working day and night to keep it fertile in the face of the salty sea-wind.

| Trade upon the sea, on the other hand, has nearly completely ceased. Since the Upheaval, there has been no reported successful crossing of the ocean, cutting off the Eastern and Southern continents, and rendering most of the trade fleet essentially dead weight. As many small and medium sized ships as possible have been refitted for fishing, while other, larger hulks have been turned into accommodation for refugees, and some very limited ship travel along the coastline still occurs, but the value of a boat has plummeted since the Upheaval, and the merchant houses focused on shipping have found their political power on the ebb. | Trade upon the sea, on the other hand, has nearly completely ceased.

| + | Acryn is the core of the setting, and it is assumed that the majority of characters will live in or around it, and that the majority of adventures will begin in the city, or serve the interests of someone living in. This should not discourage you from playing a character from elsewhere however - Acryn was and is a truly mighty power in the world, and there are any number of reasons why a native of another city could be living there. | ||
