Nisora

History

 

Silence

  Confined to new spaces and coping with tragedy, groups clashed over city functioning. They splintered into different gangs and factions that took over territories to run the way they saw fit. Some left the cities to create their own settlements, which in turn battled over borders and resources. What leadership structures existed constantly changed hands and methods to appease a capricious people.   Yet just as many fought to rebuild. New supply lines were established, new factories built, new schools constructed. Cities on Nisora could never be a united entity under a single banner, but instead a hodge-podge of territories run by whichever group was able to secure it. If they failed to maintain the territory, those living in it were apt to fight back until matters improved or a new group took over.    

Today

  Unfortunately, most groups also share a hatred of off-worlders, who are often seen as unwelcomed invaders. This is especially true in cities, where many refuse to adjust to Nisoran culture. Local businesses in turn have begun refusing business to those who don't have residency paperwork, which is notoriously hard to get for those without the right underworld connections.  

Migration Hub

Between evacuations of Astronius, refugees from Rada, and first-time travelers from Talmar on top of the usual, Nisora has become a hub for migrants and visitors alike. Those who move here typically do so for one of two key reasons:  

Religious Headquarters

The Mother of the Stars church officially moved its headquarters from Astronius to Nisora in 3224. The religion's focus on individual choice aligns with certain Nisoran sensibilities, and its preference for collective good may help balance the more selfish side of the local culture. However, others have concerns that there may be less benign reasons for the oft-suspicious organization to make its way to Nisora.
