With it’s huge population, Xinev is among the biggest towns. The huge town is mainly known by it’s technological advancements, experiments, inventions and education. It is also where Aerosence Ships are built that is widely used on Nysh.
Xinev can be found around the center of Heilenn’s Grove, such a beautiful developed city in the middle of a grove. It is surprising how technology, “magic” and nature get along so well without destroying one another in some way. The town was founded by Ekimm and his group of workers near the edge of the grove’s huge lake, Exu, for the possible and many uses of water. While the area is surrounded by forests, the place itself is mainly a rather flat empty grassy field.
The founder, Ekimm and his partners, sought to build a town where people can experiment and invent freely, they wished for creative building and for a place they can call home without disturbing others with their work. They wanted to advance technology and magic together and work hard. After successfully raising a small town together and with additional workers who joined them during the time, Ekimm, while in his time vehicles already existed, came up with the idea of Aerosence Ships. He was a daydreamer and thinking about a lot of ideas, his little motto about development and improvement was “reach to the sky and never stop” and eventually he was the person who came up with the original idea of sailing above the clouds, above everything, reaching to the sky. The first ship took him and the workers about a year to create, while it was flawed, they spent more time fixing its major flaws, eventually, after a long ten years of constant development and almost six failed attempts at creating the “one”, they finally made it. This was the turn point of the town becoming huge in popularity, from this point the town developed with incredible speed. During his life, Ekimm managed to almost perfect the very core of the Aerosence Ships, other than by a few differences in design, nobody was able to create a better one yet and to this day they work by that design and blueprint.
In terms of construction, Xinev is a busy town, there isn’t a day where something isn’t built around. Surprisingly, the place isn’t that noisy as one would expect due to constant construction. The town has a strict rule on night time rest, apart from specific individuals or possible groups, work isn’t allowed during the night to not disrupt or disturb others. If a project perhaps creates no loud noises, then there is no issue and the person can carry on.
Visually the town itself is a medieval-like town with a balanced mix of steampunk and magipunk style. Since this city is so far the most advanced technologically on Nysh, A lot of Xinev is “charged” through batteries, the place heavily relies on the world’s magical essence as a fuel and battery. Due to this, it looks more advanced than any other city on the planet, even its residential areas as well. One of its distinctive design is building upward in a triangle shape, reaching to the skies, if possible, metaphorically or even literally.
Geologically, the earth under Xinev is rich of minerals, and due to surrounding forests it has a good source of wood. The town also has a few strict rules over mining and wood cutting inside or nearby the Grove itself. Trees must be replaced as soon they are cut, all minerals used, if possible, must be re-used for further uses, no overproduction than what is needed. It also locks down mines and wood cutting time to time which forces imports of minerals from other places of Nysh or the re-use of materials, like certain metals for example. No waste allowed, everything has to be re-used.
The huge town is separated into three main parts. The biggest part of the town is where the main work and biggest constructions are done, like the building of Aerosence Ships. While it has its own residential areas as well, they are mainly occupied by workers who came and work there from different regions. The second biggest part of Xinev is the actual residential area where the inhabitants of the town live along with usual shops, while it’s not extremely separated from the working area, but has less focus on work, and more on everyday life. The third area is the educational one, this place is the furthest away from the working zone to keep the noisy the most minimal. It focuses on nothing but extreme education. Apart from the work, Xinev’s education is the most prominent on Nysh. It has a vast variety of education on every possible subject or “magic” and the best professors and most experienced experts teach here.
Due to the town’s extreme economical position, education is completely free and is the reason why this place is picked by most on Nysh if possible. Free education here is possible due to a fix rated cut from every business and work done in the local area (not from individuals, but from the actual works as a job done). The money gained this way is mainly used to maintain the schools, while a lot of teachers and experts teach out of passion for free. Those who pick to teach for free are given free residency and (a limited amount of) food in Xinev, however. Both students, let them be adults or not, are usually also very passionate and each school helps people find their own path, work and subject they may be interested in. Both teachers and students have a possibility of selling their own inventions as well if they wish to do so.
The main and biggest export and profit of the city are made through the construction of Aerosence Ships. These ships are very specifically made, its own mechanic is very complex and are also built by the most experienced ones and requires a huge team of workers and effort to build one. The construction of one ship usually takes around half a year. A lot of different vehicles are also built in the town either by teams or individuals.
One could say that “reaching to the sky” in every possible way is the signature of Xinev.
