Saricus: Volucris
The city of Saricus consists of three sectors, called tiers. Each tier caters to the different societies in the caste system.
|
The City: - Astralis - Volucris - Canum - History - Culture - Geography - Industry - Military - Employment - Joining - Rules Main Page | Volucris is the middle, and most populous tier of Saricus. While bats take the majority, there are still quite a few other species. The feathered may also find this part of the city to suit them quite well. Volucris is neutral ground, or at least that's what they try to say. Because creatures of both Astralis and Canum come here, many a scuffle is known to occur. For this reason, the presence of military is more abundant. The secondary entrance into Saricus leads directly into Volucris from the entrance tower. |
Notable Areas in Volucris:
- Atrium Caverns
Entertainment is important to the denizens of Saricus, and the Atrium Caverns is a central location for it. Its most important structure is the Colosseum, which is often used as an ampitheater in addition to more sinister games. Special events are often held within this robust and finely carved out cavern, and all within the city are invited to attend. Atrium Cavern can be accessed from several points in Volucris, including its streets and tunnels connected to Volucor Tower.
- Basilica of Athra
The Basilica of Athra is a focal point in Saricus, where many come to study astrology, which is a guiding factor in many lives within the city. Beasts of all kinds can find a warm sanctuary within its walls and caverns. As well as an orphanage, the Basilica also has the city's largest library and record room. Much of this city's rich history has been put into text here, and is greatly treasured among its noble citizens. Ceremonies, such as weddings, are conducted here on a regular basis, for noble and lower class alike. A beast may find this structure up a stair off Volucris's market.
- Carcer Prison
Looming forbiddingly over Volucris, Carcer is a place no Saricus beast looks forward to seeing the insides of. It is built around some of the last existing iron, copper, and tin mines, and an old factory to process the items. Prisoners are put to work for the good of the city, draining the remaining veins of their precious ore. The winding stair of Carcer connects the prison to Volucris's streets.
- Volucris Market
The largest market of Saricus booms night and day with activity. It is a sleepless place for beasts to shop for life's necessities, as well as appealing trinkets from far off lands. It also provides a gateway into the city from Volucor Tower.
