APswap AU: Subcon forest & Sandy Sails.
Subcon Forest, a name many haven't heard unless in tales told in whispers around a campfire, otherwise known as the Forest of Lies the Subcon Forest is an overgrown forested area covered in a thick sheet of pack ice featuring some of the largest trees in its area with the largest reaching over 55 meters tall. It was once a minor power during the medieval era but circumstances involving wayward rituals, out of control magic and basic jealousy have caused a catastrpohy.
The Small Desert Settlement of Sandville has had some ups and downs, with the locals desperate for money they banded together and created a scam-um uh, I mean tourist attraction known as Sandy Sails.
Subcon major characters:
Princess Vanessa was the former wife of King Micheal Juvitz and the current ruler of Subcon's Ice wastes, she is a ruthless ruler although she deeply cares about her suspects (the dwellers) quite a lot. In life Vannie was a niave and sensitive sort and she fell for Micheal, in death Vanessa is a ruthless sort, haunting her portion of Subcon giving royal directives to Dwellers to do her bidding.
Prince Luka was Micheal's brother and a much quieter and polite sort than his brother, he was charming and very creative with a passion for animals and plants. Luka had Rizz but now he is trapped in the horizon, possessed by an evil spirit due to a ritual performed by his Brother and forced to interract with the world via his puppets. Problem is he is still alive while being possessed.
King Micheal Juvitz is the ruler of Subcon manor and a massive overarching threat to everything else in the forest, he is directly related to every incident involved in Subcon's dramatic downfall. First by trying to kill Luka in a botched ritual (who barely survived by a thread) and then by having his wife burned at the stake when a misunderstanding caused him to accuse Vanessa of being unfaithful to him.
Toilets of Doom is a pair of sentient outhouses nearby to where Subcon village is located, he has to be awoken via a sacrifice and once he is awoken fighting him is Jane and Laura's only option, the second one has Laura's soul trapped in it and must be battled to retrieve that.
The Dwellers are spirits of the original Subcon Forest before the incident.
Sandy Sails major characters:
The villagers of Sandville are while a group of scumbags are often very informative about their desert home and are often not seen outside the village unless on a Sandmobile or on Camel, They are friendly and can be helpful but are found by the most part either scolding prideful tourists or trying to sell their wares.
The Narrator is the, well, Narator of the Ancient Clock Tower, he speaks in a posh British accent and is often very snarky. Not much else is known about him.
Bird companion is a small yellow bird which can be directed to grab items.
Mafia Archeoligist : The Mafia Archeoligists are a mafia group who recently showed up to visit the ruins to take samples, artifacts and document the huge ruins. Why they aren't overtly hostile they can be rude and brash towards the Nomads which only seems to reinfoce the fact that this was maybe not such a good idea after all...The only excception to this rule is their boss who is an arsehole.
