7th Gate, Tera (Ruined World)

Kana

Capitol city, around 30000 people. Site of construction of the 6th Ar Tonelico. Low tech level, very low magic.

La Karat

Small town about 100 miles from Kana, inhabited by about 1200 people. Site in the Corrupted Waters adventure. Very low tech, no magic.

Notes

There is no magic on Tera, except near Kana, as the Ar Tonelico is unfinished. A Goddess Engine-equipped (Tilia) ST present at the build site provides coverage in a 50-mile radius.

Tera is oddly fractured, with large, floating continents above its surface that are still inhabited by humans. The surface itself is inhospitable, home to all manner of monsters and aberrations, often called Preservers, due to the particular theory that they were created by the planet itself many centuries ago to protect against humanity.

Many rare earth metals that are easy to acquire on Tera, but not on other worlds. One of the highest-paying professions on Tera is that of ‘steeplejack’. Steeplejacks descend to the underside of the continent and mine precious metals there. Although they are individuals of great skill, with very specialized gear, it is still an incredibly dangerous job, and barely a week goes by where there isn’t at least one fatality. This is one reason they are so eager to gain access to magic and enhanced technology, as it will greatly reduce the cost in lives.
