# Welcome Player

Dearest player,

> ### **Welcome to the city of .**
>
> [REDACTED] is the capital city of the emerging nation-state of Kyi.
> Kyi is a rapidly industrialising state presided over by [INSERT GOVERNMENT NAME HERE].
>
> Over the last 100 years, Kyi has seen an explosion of technological growth fuelled by the use of [MAGIC COAL]. Where once the scourges of disease, plagues and pestilence were held at bay by the magically gifted, such as healers, now technology brings this miracle to the hands of any who can afford its use.
>
> The National [MAGECITE] & Energy Board’s innovations have come just in the nick of time as innate magical talent becomes an increasingly rare bloodline gift both within Kyi and throughout the wider world.
> This unprecedented economic and technological growth has thrust Kyi onto the international stage, Permitting its rapid expansion into uncharted influence as a global supplier of agricultural, industrial, consumer, and medical goods; granting it a prestigious position at the diplomatic table of nation-states.
>
> Peace in Kyi is maintained through the government maintained Public Association of Safety and Development & Community arms of the [COMPANY]. A free and democratic society, Kyi’s government is a single-party state in which all citizens born of the land can freely join and vote in party election to bring to power those they believe would best represent them within the party and subsequently senate.
>
> This rapid growth is not without issue, however, and not all have shared equally in the prosperity of the nation. Those deemed not to be of Kyian ancestry (non-human most notably regardless of the generation of residence) are relegated to the status of secondary citizens. These deemed outsiders are key to the growth of the Empire but also barred from participation in its electoral process; often taking the more risky work that underpins the development of the nation such as [MAGECITE] Mining and the factory works that have underpinned much of this economic miracle.
>
> The city of [NAME] is one dominated by a native human populous with a distinct upper and working class, with a rapidly emerging middle class that drive and sustain the demand of amenities produced nationally, obtained through global exploration, and trade amidst a booming suite of consumer industries.
>
> Much of the luxuries of modern life are products of the [COMPANY] which through its patented process can transform the raw magical potential of [MAGECITE] into almost any conceivable good; from purified water to magically charged make-ups or raw base building materials for many consumer goods.

### You find yourself, a resident of [CITY] in a melting pot of ideas, philosophies, occupations, and states of prosperity.

Are you an underprivileged individual of mixed magical heritage, from the slums of the city’s southern reaches?
Perhaps you are a well-to-do human, product of the emerging middle class, which is found on the northern side of the river, splitting the city in two.

Perhaps working as part of the rapidly growing artisanal class?
Perhaps you are of a purely alien race to this nation, a visitor from a non-industrialised nation, more magically gifted land taking in the wonders of the city’s affluence and power?

Whether you throw yourself into the intrigues of this powerful nation and divided city or seek to just keep your head bowed and prosper in your job as an employee of [COMPANY] (for all depend on it in this place) you are sure to find yourself in face of powers, potential and plots sure drive you to change as a person and inhabitant of this world.

The rest is up to you, and the mercy of the *d20*.
