Gensekai Basics

Introduction
Gensekai. Gensekai is the world created by the Gensekai Sages, for yokai, after the Sola-Luna War explained in the history page. Through the Gensekai Border, which is a metaphysical border that keeps it separated. It is extremely hard to exit once entered. Though, the border has a magical affinity which allows it to bring in magical items that are ‘forgotten’. The border also connects Gensekai more closely to other realms; such as Elysium Isle (Heaven), Netherworld, or the other Universes that people trickle in from.

Native humans also exist in Gensekai; pulled from the Outside World and brought in because they have magical or eccentric abilities that make them outcasts in the Outside World. People from other universes can also be brought in; through portals, when they are sleeping, and if said people who were brought in died⁠—, it is a second chance at life.

The Border also changes how it’s inhabitants abilities and circumstances work to match Gensekai. Refer to the magic page for this. Currently Gensekai is in a fairly peaceful state.

Society
The society of Gensekai has been described as...weird. One could say that anyone who lives there is a bit of a lunatic. Much of the yokai who live here, due to their terms of being; are a lot more eccentric than the normal human. Of course, many eccentric and odd humans exist in Gensekai as well. While there are leaders; they do not have much control over the people besides trade and providing resources. Though, they have found more subtle ways to have influence alongside these things. The only exception to this is Fernava City, which has little Yokai. Fernava is quite different then the rest of Gensekai; this will be explained later.

Outside of that; Yokai generally don’t like being controlled. Secondly; many of the cultures are limited to their own biomes and towns; but some spread around! Yokai are generally mischievous and enjoy causing problems and incidents for excitement; and those in the area like solving these incidents. Gensekai acts like a playground! As such, it is why the magic system was made to make the strongest people weaker and the weakest stronger! This is how Gensekai mostly works. Don’t be afraid to make threats and have fun!

Be careful though! Some of the more remote areas have more aggressive and even monstrous Yokai, though running into one of these beast or individuals is rare.

Gensekai Council
The above is the list of families/people who are the main leaders of Gensekai; each directly in trade power over a biome. Outside of that though; they don’t really have ultimate jurisdiction over Gensekai, with how anti-control yokai are. For this reason, they are a bit more subtle of how they influence the political sphere.

Luxinia Grasslands
Luxinia Grasslands; mostly open area and filled with animals and yokai. Most dense human population. Many small farms dotted around that sell their goods; smaller towns cities. Fernava City is located inside of this biome. Luxinia Acts as a main hub for the rest of Gensekai. Under control of Anastasia Yukka.

Forest of Aether
Also under control of Anastasia; The Forest of Aether is home to many magical plants and other resources; but also several cities with different cultures and groups. Fairies and Elves are extremely common.

Hourisa Mountains
The Hourisa Mountains; a sizable mountain range with different environments that make it one of the most beautiful places. It is quite common for pirates to hang out in. Mostly inhabited by yokai; though humans live in the cities. It is rich with history. It also is the homebase for Trinity Inc. the supplier of most of the technology in Gensekai; which Minerva is the owner of. Minerva also has control of the Mountains, and her shrine is located by the peak. Nativia Shrine.

Annva Desert
The Annva Desert is quite small; but it’s worth is measured in the sheer amount of minerals and others that are mined here. It is incredibly wealthy⁠—, but has a fairly small population. Most of the people who live here like a more quiet life or work for Trinity Inc. Who are the ones who handle the resources along with the Annva Family.

Valgades Tundra
The Valgades Tundra is also very small; but it’s major worth is the amount of magical crystals it has that provides energy for Gensekai. It has the smallest population overall due to the coldness making it unfavorable for most. Ruled by Prince Zedellius.

Takamizu Ocean
The ocean that surrounds the mainland; The Takamizu Ocean is the largest biome, but has the most empty space. Though it is important for travel. Most ports have potions that can grant non-water based people the ability to travel underwater if they need to; though most of the Takamizu Ocean’s attractions are already above-ground. Ruled by Manami Takamizu and her family.

Keiki Jungle
Keiki Jungle is one of the two biomes without a leader. Most settlements in Keiki Jungle are individual and managed among themselves; with the Jungle Environment itself rich with tropical resources, it is also a great hangout for those with..more...criminal agendas. Though a few kind communities exist, many adventurers and those seeking thrill also come by. The deeper parts of the jungle are a bit dangerous; with much more violent and old-style Yokai.

Shinkai Lavalands
The second biome without a leader; Shinkai is the most harsh and most dangerous place. Those who live here are strong, territorial, and tough. Respect here is gained through showing mettle and ability to defend yourself. The closest thing to a leader is a woman who calls herself Lamia, who was able to gather a following. Shinkai holds a great amount of magical aura; so many magicians who want to train in the best environment also come here.

Shinkai is home to many demons, or other outcasts who can’t fit anywhere else.
