- Freedom & Oppression:
- The citizens of Oracester enjoy a life largely defined by personal freedom and civic trust. Streets bustle with open-air markets, public forums, and small creative enterprises that thrive under a government known for transparency and predictable governance. Most residents feel secure in voicing their opinions, forming community groups, and pursuing their chosen livelihoods without interference. Daily life reflects an easy confidence that the ruling council, while firm, generally respects the autonomy of its people. Yet beneath this sense of liberty lies a persistent murmur of dissatisfaction. Oracester's extensive network of regulations, covering everything from business permits to curfews in certain districts, can feel suffocating in its meticulousness. Many citizens quietly question why a society that prides itself on freedom needs so many rules governing everyday choices. Though the grumbling rarely rises to open defiance, it simmers as a reminder that even in a mostly fair city, too much structure can cast a long shadow over an otherwise vibrant civic spirit.
- Description:
- The city is an underwater metropolis that rises from the ocean floor, enclosed within a massive transparent dome that glows faintly against the deep, blue-green water. Sleek, needle-like skyscrapers cluster together at the heart of the city, their metallic surfaces reflecting soft, ambient light that filters down from above. The buildings vary in height and shape, creating a jagged, futuristic skyline that feels both alien and meticulously planned. In the hazy distance, the second domed city mirrors the first, hinting at a sprawling network of submerged urban centers stretching far across the seabed, though they are considered one city.
- Esafast Complex
- Esafast Complex is a multi-use sports and entertainment venue known for its sleek architecture and vibrant, fan-focused atmosphere. It serves as the proud home of Team Oracester, the city's beloved Limmie team, hosting all their home matches and major training events. The complex has become a cultural anchor for the community, symbolizing the deep connection between Oracester and its passionate Limmie supporters.
- Atherora Centre
- Atherora Centre is a state-of-the-art athletic facility renowned for its cutting-edge training spaces and high-energy event halls. It has become a central hub for Shockboxing, hosting major bouts, training camps, and promotional showcases for rising athletes. The venue's immersive tech and intense atmosphere have helped define the sport's identity, making Atherora Centre synonymous with Shockboxing excellence.
- The Agosphis Library
- The Agosphis Library is a vast, marble-clad archive said to hold both historical records and esoteric manuscripts. Its dim, amber-lit halls are lined with towering shelves that seem to rearrange themselves to guide worthy readers. Scholars and wanderers alike visit it in search of rare knowledge, believing the library itself curates what each visitor most needs to learn.
- Inasmery Zoo
- The Inasmery Zoo is a sprawling sanctuary where bioluminescent flora winds around artfully designed habitats. Visitors wander through misty pathways to observe rare creatures; some exotic, others rumored to be rescued from forgotten realms. Every enclosure is crafted to feel like a fragment of the animals' original world, making the zoo as much a living storybook as a wildlife haven.
- Ontvale Waterworld
- The Ontvale Waterworld is an immense floating park where crystalline lagoons ripple beneath skybridges woven from seasilk. Travelers drift through coral-lit tunnels to explore underwater realms filled with gentle leviathans and shimmering reef cities. By night, the entire waterworld glows with tides of bioluminescent light, turning every wave into a moving constellation.
- Phakhull Planetarium
- The Phakhull Planetarium is a domed observatory where starfields bloom across the ceiling in breathtaking, hyper-real cosmic panoramas. Its holographic orreries let visitors walk among drifting nebulae and orbiting worlds as if suspended in deep space. Renowned for its immersive "Birth of a Galaxy" show, the planetarium transforms astronomy into a luminous, nearly spiritual voyage.
- Khuerta Art Museum
- The Khuerta Art Museum is a labyrinth of sunlit galleries where bold, asymmetrical architecture mirrors the creativity within. Its collections span from ancient stone reliefs to avant-garde kinetic installations that hum softly as they move. Visitors often say the museum feels alive, guiding them from one emotional discovery to the next with each turn of its winding halls.
- Zreydale Science & Industry Museum
- The Zreydale Science & Industry Museum is a multi-level complex where gleaming metal frameworks and panoramic glass walls showcase the galaxy's most ambitious innovations. Interactive labs invite visitors to experiment with robotics, energy systems, and materials that shift color and texture under touch. Towering above it all is the "Engine of Ages," a kinetic sculpture that charts the evolution of technology through cascading motion and light.
SECURITY
Medium
The inside of Oracester City is patrolled by combat security droids and a security bureau comprised of Humans and Chagrian. They patrol the streets and businesses handing out fines, making arrests, settling civic disputes, and such. The location of the city, much like the other cities on the planet, which is submerged underwater also adds to the security and defense of the city, which acts as a natural shield to the domed city.

HISTORICAL INFORMATION
Beneath the crushing weight of the world's oceans, the city began as a desperate experiment; a coalition of scientists and engineers at the bequest of the Galactic Empire sent into the deeps to erect a new underwater city. The project was meant to build two self-sustaining domes in the deep waters that would be the groundwork for a new city: Oracester. It was an undertaking of epic proportions, a sign of good faith between the Empire and the citizens of Champala.
The first dome, now the smallest one in the distance, was constructed with groundbreaking pressure-neutralizing alloys and energy shields designed to disperse the immense weight of the ocean. Life inside it was claustrophobic and experimental, a place of constant testing and recalibration. But as its systems stabilized, it transformed into a thriving research hub. Scientists there mastered hydrothermal energy capture, aquatic agriculture, and bio-luminal power grids, innovations that became the backbone of every dome built afterward. What had been merely an experiment evolved into a hub of innovation and ambition.
With these breakthroughs, expansion became inevitable. The grander central dome, now the heart of the underwater metropolis, was erected with towering spires and intricate transit lanes designed for submersible traffic. Its sleek skyscrapers, anchored by magnetic stabilizers, house millions who embraced life beneath the waves while commerce, culture, and governance flourished, shaping a society that viewed itself as the rightful heir to Champala's submerged realms.
Over generations, the city's presence reshaped the surrounding ocean. Aquatic life adjusted to the soft hum of the dome's energy fields, while schools of fish and great silhouette-sharks drifted above like airborne flocks. The sister domes became symbols of resilience, a declaration that the galaxy could adapt even to the abyss. Today, the city stands not as a monument to survival, but as proof that civilization can unlock new frontiers when pushed to the brink, forging beauty and progress in places once thought unreachable.
