Alternis is the current capital city of Her Imperious Condesention's Post-Rebranded Earth. The city itself has roughly the same square milage of New York (302.6 sq. mi.) and is divided into districts known mostly as 'Prongs'.
Humans, Trolls, and Carapacians of both moons all make their home in this city, making it a trade and culture hub for all those around the world.
General Map
History[]
Alternis was built and founded in the year 10 AG. (2033 AD) At first, it started out as a mass of land, gathered together and dumped all in the same place as )(IC tore up various large landmarks and mountains around the planet, attempting to shape it into something resembling Alternia. The result was a rather large pile of rock in the center of the ocean, shaped into something like a double-headed trident.
Some sections, mostly the islands, are not attached to the sea floor; as a result, they frequently change their exact locations. They are linked to each other and the mainland by a series of underwater cable lines.
By 16 AG, the Troll Reproduction Sciences Center (TRSC) moved its headquarters to the Jade Isles. On 19 AG, the First Success of the Breeding Program was hatched there. As the success rate increased more and more, a smaller version of the traditional Trials were set up, making it the first of two hatching centers to have done so.
Around the year 30 AG the single worst un-solved massacre spree within a mixed-race city in recorded post-rebranding history took place. 8 humans, 3 trolls and 2 carapacains went missing within 2 days and were all found hanging from the headquarters of Universal Bank.
At around 33 AG, there was no longer any need for the TRSC's activity due to a large upsurge in troll population, and the center closed down. It was replaced by the more traditional 'Brooding Caverns' Setting, which was also set up on the largest island.
By 55 AG, Alternis reached the current sector layout you see today.
Humans, Trolls, and Carapacians of both moons all make their home in this city, making it a trade and culture hub for all those around the world.
The North Fork[]
The North Fork is the North Half of Alternis. It is Shaped like the top half of a trident, with its prongs facing in the Northward Direction. This area is known for its 'Upper Class' Hives and homes.

Violet Shoals[]
This area is actually underwater; it is located in the bay between the Royal and Indigo prong. This area is where violet-blooded seadwellers tend to make their underwater homes.
Juggalo's Folly[]
This area is where most purple-blooded trolls live. The name started off as slang, but after a while, it stuck. Most tend to stay away from this area. The Chapel of Saint Snowman is located in this area.
The Indigo 6th[]

The South Fork[]
Most industrial areas are located here, as well as the more low-blooded castes of trolls, and the majority of humans, due to tension between species. It's buildings are the most crowded together, and due to its far distance from the royal prong and TSPD HQ, rebellion activity here is fairly common, and widely supported.
