A place no god knows
The city of Athest is a small city in the nation of Ascalla whose borders are made up by the affects of a machine that the city is based around anyone who is in the range of the machine and therefore in the city are unaffected by The Censor. Because of this the city is full of technology and is the source for most high level technology still found in Tec. They sell these peaces of technology to the human government of Ascalla aiding in their war against the monsters who occupy half of the actual continent and hate humans with a passion trying to invade and kill them all. Another affect of the machine is that those in its range are incapable of remembering, thinking about, or creating gods of any kind. People who are born in Athest seem to have very little curiosity and work whatever jobs their parents did obediently and almost without thought any people born in Athest that leave the city’s boundaries go insane even after they return to the city’s boundaries. Anyone born outside the city has some difficulties remembering the outside world (the more involved the person was with religion of any kind the harder it is for them to remember the outside world). They also usually feel as though something is missing and generally feel uncomfortable, this causes them to become extremely curious and the nagging feeling they have get stronger the longer they reside in Athest, so only the really useful stays for long. Very few people exit Athest and the censor heavily erases the memories of those who do come back.
Demographics
People who live in Athest are separated into two main groups. The first group are those who work towards gaining resources ex. farmers though what they provide is often insufficient. The second group is those who deal with the technology of Athest these people are also split into two groups. One group is the Scientists who work to discover new things or more often to understand the technology they do have, this group is made entirely up from those who were born outside Athest and is heavily supervised by the AI most innovations are not actually used. the other group are the Mechanics who are those whose job is to repair and actually assemble technology this group is made mostly but not entirely out of people born in Athest
Government
Athest is led by an AI who makes all major decisions about Athest and has control of their more dangerous weapon systems. The AI does not emulate any emotions and it’s goals are to have Athest run as smoothly as possible while maintaining the basics in how it’s run.
Defences
Industry & Trade
Trade in Athest is simple they fire out a message usually just by broadcasting it with what they want and what they’re willing to give up to get it if they send in what was asked almost immediately after the object that they said they would give comes out. There has been times when Athest requested human workers and each time this happened what they were offering was too good to refuse.
Infrastructure
All food and rewards given to residents of Athest are decided by the AI rewards include more space games and for the truly loyal the option to leave Athest, though it only gives that as a reward to those no longer vital.
History
Most of Ascala does not know about Athest, but those who do mostly have the false belief that it is run by a powerful magic user who is using them in a war against whoever makes the monsters who are invading their nation.
Architecture
The architecture in Athest are designed to conserve as much space as possible with those born in Athest having only the bare minimum of space needed and people born outside gets space based on how valuable and loyal the AI considers them
