Rewinxing Realms - Imperial Lands of Melody

Melody is located in the Eridanus monosol system along with Ohm and Espero, and was born, like Zenith and Titania, from the ashes of an ancient kingdom, but unlike them, rebuilt on the same planet formerly called Melos. Melody clings to tradition, as can be seen in its traditional buildings, which have evolved more in material than design, and where ancient costumes are still fashionable (although modern culture has entered its borders). It's a marvel to behold, especially when ships sail through the islands at sunset during the flowering season.

The planet is inspired by the different eras of Imperial China, Japan, Treasure Planet, aka bit steampunk (Disney) –including flying ships-.

The planet is united under the command of Emperor Garomius I, and their princess which in ancient times would be considered cursed for her albinism (even though the Empress consort Nerine is of Ohm and blonde), fortunately times change and Galatea de Melody is a very beloved person by its citizens -some even now say that her birth was a sign of blessing for the Empire-. Still, everyone hopes that she marries and has children soon. Under Garomius, the empire is divided into seven kingdoms ruled by "Governors" and within these, a rank to highlight is "Ministers" which are accessed after examination. They have one of the most dangerous armies (usually with magic users of wind and sound... and ninjas).

It is believed that this was the Taurfork's home planet, until war and catastrophe turned it into the floating territories they are today (floating islands which occasionally rest in the ocean), Before they were plains, hills, grasslands, and many rivers with water deltas. Most of the taurfork migrated to Domino (not a lucky race you see). Melodians have a very diverse climate, from dry seasons to monsoons, but because the islands move, they are able to prevent most damage and take advantage of everything as never before; in the end, it feels like a standard continental climate. They also have a great diversity of animals and plants, although they must maintain strict control on some, while many others have adapted to their new circumstances thanks to ley lines and wind currents.

They use wind and solar energy and sell music, musical instruments and other types of "vintage" or "steampunk" tools as well as furniture and other objects made in the old-fashioned way, somewhat expensive but that people like a lot and are currently trending in Domino and the Earth. Also paper, ink and fireworks.

Rewinxing Realms - Federal Republic of Lymphea

Lymphea is located on one of the Marigold moons, neighboring the Magix asteroid system in the Lacerta system, with a single sun called Arinnitti. It is a parliamentary monarchy currently composed of Queen Rachel and Princess Krystal, who have more symbolic power as intergalactic ambassadors and diplomats than real power over its inhabitants. Its symbol is a tree with intertwined branches and roots, because it is their belief that everything and everyone is connected. It's culture is inspired by the Amazon and the Elven Kingdoms of various fandoms.

On this planet, the forest is disproportionately large, to the point that humanoids are the size of insects and mushrooms with which they coexist. But at the same, there are totally normal fauna and flora; to an outsider it's outstanding. This same forest that covers the entire planet grows and grows, to the point that a certain part of the planet and what is formally the kingdom is guarded by walls and sentinels that separate it from the "Emerald Ocean" or "Deep Forest"; a place from which no one has returned ever (They scare children with this place. They even threw prisoners here a long time ago.). It is speculated that the largest animals are the equivalent of rodents and small mammals, but no one knows anything about what happens in the Deep Forest. The closer you get to this side of the planet, the less light you find, housing a large number of fungi, toadstools and other plants, mushrooms and fungi adapted to lightless environments, some of them bioluminiscent. However, in general, the planet receives large amounts of sunlight and a good amount of rainfall without giving rise to monsoons or extreme weather. It is warm and humid.

The inhabitants are very respectful of nature and often use magic -but also, old fashioned slow and expensive methods - to transfigure the living trees in their homes, usually in their canopy. The style has changed over the centuries, but the basics remain the same, to avoid insects and mammals. Some eccentric lympheans live among the roots, but they are not common.

During the fall, large leaves cover the ground, which they use as compost and transform through chemical, alchemical, and/or magical treatments into fabulous fabrics and solid substances at their leisure. These materials are exported to other planets along with their fruits and tree secretions and fungi. The remains of shells, exoskeletons, and animal fur are also collected without harming any animals. They are an opportunistic, gathering culture rather than a hunter or farmer.

As a colony, they have a fairly diverse racial mix, but all of them emphasize their pacifist tendencies, and the planet in general would not stand out if it were not for being the location of the Lymphean College of Paladins and Magical Specialties. They place great importance on magic.

Rewinxing Realms - Kingdom of Solaria

Rewinxing Realms - Andros

I feel like I have left things to say but ...

In Rewinxing, Andros has a solarpunk aesthetic, also markedly inspired by Otoh Gunga (the underwater city of Naboo in Star Wars).

Its current culture is based on the Victorian era (rigid clothes help merpeople move in land more stably), in its beginnings it resembled Acadia-Mesopotamia. Although it’s considered a single kingdom it is divided into two "duchies" ruled by two branches of the same family.

Andros is a planet (not too populated given its size) bigger than our sun in the Cassiopeia System, with a single sun named Utu and 8 moons. In the same System there are several planets, to be highlighted as "habitable" the planet-prison Omega, and Serenia.

Andros is covered almost entirely by water and populated mostly by merpeople. Cities are made so that several of their sectors can be flooded at will to allow more aquatic population to live in it or on the contrary, more terrestrial population.

Their cities are beautiful, and they have managed to fill even the deepest ones with light, if possible, from the surface. They even have "terrariums" with some birds which are highly esteemed on their planet because Andros onest are very resistant creatures since they move from land to land on a planet where there are hardly any.

Its citizens have made the most of the energy of the tides and later the sun to develop their culture. That the portals to the Infinite Ocean are more common in aquatic areas and therefore are not rare in Andros facilitated communication and the extension of their race not only with other planets, but with other systems. The current guardian of the Infinite Ocean is a merpeople, but she was born in ancient Hike (Magix).

On land, temperatures are usually high, with very strong winds and little rain. Under water, however, there are entire continents, although their limits do not define them as humans would. Merpeople use fauna and flora to define territories. And their own species of course is not the same native of the glaciers as of the Androsian equator.

The first merpeople quickly learned the advantages of race mixing for them, and were once the most enterprising and adventurous even though they arguably had the most limitations to it. Due to conflict InterRealms are now more closed. They still maintain good relations with the elves, the second races they contacted (1st were gigants), thanks to encounters in underground waters during cold winters on other planets.

They have a special algae fabric (kinda silk priced) that is practically waterproof and at the same time soft, their colors are naturally blue and purple and they are difficult to dye but I assure you that the Androsians have succeeded. After much trying and with the help of materials from other planets that they now cultivate on their moons. So wearing pale colors is a sign of wealth. Then there is another one with less resistance (cotton priced) that is green and quite common, and that one is impossible to dye but familiar, Aisha love its. They also export marine jewelry but are considered largely self-sufficient and the exchange is for luxuries and entertainment.

Morphix is a substance that they also export and it is what creates the bubbles in their cities. Very expensive since it is very malleable and versatile also has good tolerance to the magic-technology mix (can be done without morphix of course)

Rewinxing Realms - Republic of Zenith and Confederaction of Titania

Two young kingdoms named like the two satellites where they are place. An ancient planet. you can't talk about one without talking about another. Inspiration in Egypt, Star Trek's Vulcans, and my personal wish that the only futuristic white thing in a few years is the OUTSIDE of the houses and that we got the miracle of renewable energy.

As I have already mentioned, both cultures were born in the planet Xemia, (single sun Maeva, in the Monoceros System) which was one of the oldest kingdoms of all, and in its origins the planet screamed what for us would be "Egypt" (but with an even more extreme climate that gave the possibility of snow). Only "survivor" of their system. Or at least Zenith and Titania are.

If Andros started interplanetary travel thanks to magic and the Infinite Ocean, Xemia narrowly won them thanks to sheer intellect. Of course it had to be a target to terminate. And of course the Xemians had a whole series of plans and alternatives to anything that could happen to them and their satellites were already terraformed for them precisely in case something like this could happen to them.

Xemia was the home planet of the giants, although it soon became a place where all the scholars went so now there is no predominant race in any of its satellites but it can be said that they are all somewhat giants.

Living in different places has led to the development of some different ideologies but they maintain in common the goal of restoring Xemia to its original glory and an ideological trend that for obvious reasons gained strength after the war and is that "feelings are a nuisance".

Tecna hails from the Republic of Zenith whose current president is King Cryos and his spouse Tesla (Magnethia's sibling, Tecna's aunt/uncle whom she looks a lot like). Its symbol is a triangle and it's always covered with snow, which is actually the residual water product of Nuclear Fusion that they use to sustain their cities merged with the temperatures of the satellite.

The Confederation of Titania is a smaller satellite that uses a semi-direct democracy (think Switzerland) as a form of government. Its symbol is hexagons and/or circles. Tecna's mother (Magnethia, Tesla's sibling) is currently part of the Parliament and this is where her family has resided for the last couple of years even though they are all from Zenith and in her heart, Tecna belongs to Zenith. Like Zenith, the temperatures are very low but "apparently" they have hardly any snow. That's because this is their main source of energy. Yes, they use snow as a source of renewable energy so they get farmland.

As in both places the temperatures were extreme, the clothing varies from the typical one that we now see in Islamic countries (robes covering from head / neck to feet) in pure winter to that of ancient Egypt in its summer (which, according to Solarians, still is f*cking Winter) but with geometric, colorful lines. Going bareheaded, both men and women is a sign of confidence, comfort and security (because in the cold it is better to wear it covered, so you’re safe if you have your head discovered), although this is not so much in recent times. Sometimes the clothes have a bit of a Vietnamese feel too.

Between the two there is a tug of war of wasting resources and space a bit silly in the eyes of outsiders. Also too many numbers involved. (Digit squeal when found out about this dilemma and they're dedicated to supporting both sides because both are Tecna's home and it's funny). But both places are practically mirrors with the difference of having or not having snow, geometric lines, more or less plantlife, both white designs and both with colorful interiors. They are/is the most advanced kingdom of the System even when like the others, they have lost part of their knowledge.

Both territories export energy and modified foods that serve as enhancers and allow the absorption of all nutrients in small capsules (which do wonderful emergency rations). Also medicines. Electronics, animation movies and videogames are also common to come from here.

Zenith also exports water (as you read) and Titania takes advantage of the fact that there is no snow to continue growing and exporting certain plants native to Xemia (similar to papyrus, flax and barley).
