The Valuan Empire
21-09-2004, 12:14
Welcome to the planet arcadia, a world which basks under the light of 6 moons-purple, blue, silver, green, red, and yellow. Arcadia is a strange world, where there is no actual ground, and the land is actually a large number of floating islands, thanks to an odd balance of gravity caused by the planets atmosphere.
The moons lie in a geo-syncrinous orbit around Arcadia, causing them to always be above the same point of the planet.
Each land recieves it's Energy from the moons, due to giant rocks that fall from them, called moon stones. The moons each have a unique power.
The Red moon creates a harsh desert, inhabited by the proud people of Nasr, who 100 moon cycles ago were almost destoyed in conflict by the Valuan Empire.
The Purple moon creates a harsh land of ice, where little life exists, although a recent Valuan expedition uncovered evidence of an ancient civilisation, and also found a giant Purple moon Stone, which is currently being studied.
The lands of the Blue moon were only recently discovered by Valua, after traveling through the ice flows of the Purple moon. The people here are Friendly and decent, but their technology is out of date compared to the rest of the world.
The Green moon has created a lush, fertile jungle climate inhabited by a nomadic tribe of natives who call theselves Ixi' Taxa. Recently they have begun trading goods with Valua in exchange for yellow moon stones.
Under the silver moon there is no land, and no-one has ever seen a purple moon stone. Legends tell of a land that lies above the Clouds, But these have been dismissed by the smartest of scientists. It is believed that the Silver moon has powers of Life and Death, but this has yet to be discovered. No one has ever gone above the clouds, so none know what lies beyond. Tales of monsters deter many from trying.
The Yellow moon Lies above Valua itself, giving Valua the power of Electricity, and this has allowed Valua to become a powerful civilisation. But the yellow moon has also caused the mountainous landscape of Valua to be endlessly hit by Thunderstorms, keeping the land in eternal darkness.
The Valuan Empire has expanded recently, taking unoccupied land in Nasr and a small area under the purple moon. Moons stones are also used as ship fuel, so they are often needed to keep trade running. Recently a serious problem with Air Pirates has caused the Valuan Armada to expand it's fleet of air ships.

The Delphinus, Flagship of the Valuan armada.
Currently, the fleet consists of only 10 Airships, with the Delphinus as the Flagship. But an order has been put in for 20 more Triton-class Battleships, to protect our precious traders from the Air Pirate menace.
Fleet Admiral Ramirez commands the Delphinus, which his Vice admiral Drakov aboard the Serpent, a Triton-class battleship.
