Magnum Opus



This region is belongs to the demi-god Ommigen. While she does rule over the domain with an intense (yet notably sporadic) attention, she has little interest in ruling over the people living in her domain, and they rule themselves.

This domain is notable for being littered with the strange and bizarre creations of its demi-god.

It was created by the contributor Whowho.

Geography
The land is more or less perfectly round, with the Tower of Spectacle at it's center. To the eyes of a god the top of the tower can be seen at all points within the realm.

The most notable aspect of Magnum Opus is that the sun does not exist here. Instead Ommigen created Soladrasil, a tree that towers into the sky and who's falling leaves of light illuminate all that they touch. The tree can be seen swaying gently in the wind from dawn in the East, to dusk in the West.

The land is littered with Ommigen's wonderful and often incomprehensible creations. Mountains can be seen chewing on stray clouds and rivers flow due to water droplets possessing legs rather than an attention to gravity.

Politicts and culture
Due to the residing goddess taking only a sporadic interest in the affairs of man the people of Magnum Opus are not united and exist as a multitude of clans who all attempt to live in the odd world Ommigen has given them. While Ommigen will often inspire people with radical political ideas and inventions, a minority of these seeds of inspiration are so destructive they ensure that in the long term little progress is made.

While the region does not possess a capital it does possess a cultural center at the city known as Great Anthensar where people inspired by Ommigen meet and produce great and powerful plays, music, books poetry, art and architecture of their lifetimes.

Interestingly, there is a large amount of immigration from Great Athensar into The Great Desert. This is due mostly to the mesas Great Athensar were built on overlook the desert to the norh east, and compared to the crowded and over elaborate topography of Magnum Opus many thinkers believe the solitude the dunes of the desert would give them selves and their thoughts would be nothing short of marvelous. Many people leave to become Pilgrims and are never heard from again.

Religion
Although this region is the play ground of Ommigen only a portion of its residing humans worship her. Partially because she does not make any effort to demand worship but also because many consider her dangerous and uncaring; creating only for the sake of creating, causing her influence often to be disastrous.

Instead on the whole, the more primitive clans worship Lesherac, the Hunter and the more advanced clans Aenon for good weather for crops and travel.

Economy
The clans gather enough resources to maintain existence and trade, but there are no large operations. The region's main income is from the tourist business sustained by people interested to see the strange land and the arts which are sold to and tour the nations of Roa.

Trade
Clans often in the event that they have excess food will make the effort to travel far to the neighboring domains of Su'a'kar and The Great Desert to sell their crops to those that can not grow them.

There exist particularly good trade routes with the Marauders of the desert, who have a strong cocsept of currency and are willing to buy the mechanical inventions of Ommigen the clans are motivated to dispose of before someone gets their toes attached to their eye lids.

When minerals are abundent, they are often traded with the Burning Plains where the strong comunity of black smiths and the lack of resorces causes an outcry for minerals.

Export of arts
Due to Magnum Opus being populated with an abundance of artists a lot of them seek audiences in far off lands where they'll face less competition, touring exhibits and performances. These artists must be weary though as Ommigen's gifts may not have been created with attention to what is acceptable, as the Soladrasil Singers found out on the opening night of their opera Shadows are Shite to a two thousand audience in Su'a'kar.
