Yuzhen also know as Jade-town is the Asian district of Sca-Nif-So-Carn a walled district with its own laws and representative upon the council. Jade-town is quite exotic and attracts both Easterners and Westerners, sadly it is also a violent place where warring factions battle each other nightly for supremacy. Councilor Cheingyei holds sway over Jade-town, but she is largely a figurehead who tries to rein in the warring dragon societies as they struggle for singular dominance. Many believe and rightly so that her shifting favor is a deliberate attempt to keep the factions at constant conflict. These constant criminal conflicts allow her to remain relevant on the council as the only individual who can keep the violence confined to Yuzhen and prevent its spread to other districts. And if she can keep the warring factions balanced against each other she serves as the only legitimate leader the eastern dreamsiders have to represent them on the larger city council.

San Francisco -0- The Maya Realms ÷0÷ SAND

Sca-Nif-So-Carn1.jpg

Quote

"Just as every object has a shadow so too does it have a reflection. If the surface of the Sea of Dreams were a mirror, ever-so-still, then Sca-Nif-So-Carn would be San Francisco's reflection." -- Anzhelina Zhang

Introduction

Sca-Nif-So-Carn is an island city-state surrounded by a dense bank of fog. From the extensive ruins beyond the walls it is apparent that at one time the Gilded City was much larger than it is tonight occuping the whole of the island. But sometime in the recent past the Fog began to encroach upon Sca-Nif-So-Carn devouring it one block at a time until tonight the city is a small fraction of its original size.

Appearance

Sca-Nif-So-Carn 7.jpg

Sca-Nif-So-Carn the Gilded City is an ever shifting puzzle of neighborhoods and unique locations interlaced within the fog-bound ruins of an ancient crumbling megalopolis. The city is a impressionist kaleidoscope of Art Deco-Brutalism overlaid with a Steampunk skin.

Phantasmic History

The Dreaming Sands

The Ohlone phrase "Sca-Nif-So-Carn" roughly translates as "Dreaming Sands". The first humans to visit the Bay Area did so in a time of great antiquity. The world was different then and the barrier between the Waking World and the World of Dreams was quite fluid.
