Coming Soon: The Port City of Basatan

Wherever a Toll road exists, there’s an extra lane reserved for monsters who want to escape the isolating lives they live on Earth and retreat to a place more suited for them. A place created by monsters, for monsters.

For those with the right means to cross what monsters affectionately call: The Bifrost, you will be taken to a long bridge across a rough sea towards A bright and colorful coastal city of Basatan.

So friends it seems I’ll be opening my City for the general public to use! Throughout the coming weeks I will be converting my blog to host Basatan properly, though it’s more of me changing my aesthetic to Coastal City and renaming my blog to reflect Basatan’s existence. I don’t even really think I’ll be changing my theme. 

There will be no rules concerning your characters/what you can do/what you can be, but if you do end up using Basatan as a setting for interaction I’d like to ask to simply either acknowledge or respect a few things:

1. If you’d like to contribute or add something to the city of Basatan (i.e a shop or hospital or business) please let me know so I can add you to my lorebook!

2. This city/world is gonna get mega fleshed out and will include important LORE things like Magic being borderline illegal/controlled so again, be whatever you like/do however you like, but remember the world and the people living in it may react/respond to your character in kind. (i.e, some of my characters may be more fearful of magical characters/wary). I will have a dedicated page/tag to keep track of these lore aspects if you plan on going that far in your narratives: #Basatanlore

3. Let me know if you plan on using Basatan! :D This is more out of my own vanity than anything. I’d really like to make sure I’m following any blogs who are using my setting and perhaps have some interaction. This is open to the public for any monster independant blog to use, you don’t have to be in limbo to use this setting.

With that all said and done, let me tell you about my plans!

Basatan will be a bit of an antithesis of what Limbo was. It will be a bright and colorful city with a little bit of Lovecraftian Horror thrown into the mix. There will be a beach, a tourist trap, fishing piers, waterfront property, mountains, an island that holds the downtown area. It’s a meld between nature and urban aesthetic.Think of places like San Francisco, Halifax, Vancouver, Anchorage, Virginia Beach, Myrtle Beach and Quebec City. The architecture is a mixture of metropolitan and classical structure. There will be certain places with cobblestone roads and brightly colored buildings and brick but also there will be skyscrapers, industrial shipping piers and the like.

You get to Basatan primarily through the Bifrost, which acts as a sort of way for Monsters to travel. You pay for your ticket and you can go to a corresponding toll road in whichever location you bought. They’re primarily run by Trolls cloaking themselves as humans. The system they use to keep track of monsters and prevent humans from getting in is similar to the american toll payment system: EZ pass.

The general climate is cold, but Basatan does get all four seasons. Summers are nice and warm/hot while winters are nice and cold. You get a good fall and spring as well. Given it’s by the water, much of the cold comes from the wind carried in by the sea. There are mountain ranges in the furthest outer reaches of the city towards the north-west. 

I named the city after a crustacean eldricht being so the crabs in this world are HUGE AS FUCK and delicious. Enjoy :D

FEEL FREE TO ASK ME QUESTIONS ABOUT BASATAN! I’m getting information done as we speak and am constructing a map that I’ll have posted as soon as I can get it to look neat enough to be visually readable.
