My30dayworld: Day 22 to 24

City in Shadows

Which important bodies of water exist in your world?

A few major bodies of water exist in this setting and they form an important part of the History and mythos of the Raven's Creek community.

The Raven's Creek: that gives the main city of my setting its name. This river although the city is of considerable size its a source of pure clean water. The water of Ravens Creek have special properties that potentiates certain spells and helps herbs grow better. The skin changers protect various points along the course of the creek that serve as their sacred grounds. Wizard circles also take place along the river and its beautiful for families to spend time camping there and in the forest that surrounds certain areas of the creek.

The Black Lake: This lake although its name may sound misleading is of pure clean water. what gives the lake its name is the black sand that forms its shores. This sand may appear like metal dust but its just a rare sand that can only be found there in the area. Commonly used for certain rituals, or to make ink this sand holds special value to some Fae whom use it in their larger than life composition due to its purity and connection to the land. 

Raven Creeks water plants: This is the only water body that isn't natural in the city; but its important to the city and their supernatural inhabitants. In this water plant many strange sightings have occurred through the history of the town. Many workers hold the stressing night shift and the large buildings responsible of the sightings of shadows running there. Among the supernatural community there are stories and legends of the water spirits making sure the water of the creek that goes in remains pure when it leaves the plant. It might be true or just a well planned prank of some supernatural ambientalistic entity. 

What's Valuable in your world?

For mundanes the coin and money are what holds more important to them. The same couldn't be said for the rest of the supernatural community on Raven's Creek in general.

In a previous post I mentioned Blood, Names, Souls and in some cases for some weird beings and wizards Dreams.

Dreams: For the entities in the Oneiros or Wizards working with dream entities the dream of people are far more valuable than to the common folk, included other supernaturals. The oracles used dreams to predict future events in the life of a person or to determine which event shaped a being into what it is now. Dreams are currency in the Oneiros( the dream realm). The lord of the Oneiros only accept dreams as payment to those who seek his advice or patronage. Dreams of greatness can boost the favor of the lord of dreams in your favor. While nightmares can be used to gain the favor of the dream when enacting revenge against an enemy. 

Which is the Tech level in your world? Does magic integrate?

Tech level is the same level we have now in our days. Cellphones, tablets, any smartphone you came to imagine. Computer, internet, cars and so on. Its interaction with magick or magick users is interesting to say the least. Skin Changers can use technology without much problem. Demons, and Angels can use it too as long as they won't project their presence to intense around it. Fae they don't bother that often with mundane tools; but to some they are amusing. To wizard most of the technology tend to misfire from time to time. As long as a wizard is not working magick or gathering its presence around technology it can work itself with as much ease as any mundane. When magick is being gathered the logic in which technology operates cause it to fail or fried in the most extreme case due to magick capabilities of bending reality when its in use.
