Amaranthine

Amidst the chaos of Kios' politics and strife, the researchers and scientists in Amarathnine work industriously to improve their world. A group of scientists and scholars are charged with maintaining nature on Kios. In ever stranger ways, they "modify" nature so it could survive in a world increasingly blanketed under civilization.

Industry & Trade

The island of Amaranthine is able to provide a variety of goods to the other islands in exchange for funding for future experiments. It is not uncommon for groups to pay individual scientists to conduct research without the university or even Tevinter knowing. Chemical agents, body modifications, medicine, and even strange abominations are all on the table if the client is willing to pay enough.

History

When Kios was still whole, the city of Syndros was charged with preserving nature, which was already in a death spiral. The vast, ever-growing population, which cared about nothing but themselves, soon ensured they failed in their original objective. But from this setback arose a new opportunity, and a new purpose: creating a new natural order to replace the one that had been taken away. This unique nature would be better and more robust, able to coexist and thrive alongside the now-entrenched Kios civilization. Many residents of the newly founded island of Amaranthine only want to use their knowledge to enhance the world they live in.
This drive for knowledge and experimentation led to the rise of a radical group of scientists known as the Biomancers who are willing to do anything to advance their scientific endeavors. Though much of Amaranthine's work has been beneficial, in the form of medical advances and other such discoveries, it's also resulted in some pretty ugly and destructive monstrosities when a biomancer gets too carried away in his work.

Points of interest

Greenspire Labs The largest structure in Amaranthine and is where many research laboratories are located, though many of the big ones are underground. The interior is illuminated by blue plant spores floating through the air and the occasional chandelier. The ceiling in this main room goes up about 75 feet into the air up to the glass skylight. There are four large doors that go to different laboratories (Horticulture, Mechanical Development, Biology, and Individual Research
Lyrander Station A small, heavily guarded station that usually only receives large shipments of power from Kal- Sharock and the occasional passenger train.
Amaranthine University Amaranthine University is where many gifted students in Kios are sent to learn the ways to harness their talents. It is made of large sandstone bricks and is covered in giant vines. A huge Tree sprouts through the center of the building
Backup Power Plant The power plant is where additional power is stored when not in use in case of emergencies. The energy is brought from Kal- Sharock and stored here in large purple tanks.
Imperial Army Outpost Here is where crimes are reported and where the imperial army resides
The Warehouse District Huge metal storage containers are stacked high here. As the years go by more and more shipping containers are added to pile, but it never seems like any are being removed. This has caused the area to become a confusing and ever-changing maze that only those who want to be hidden will enter.
Mithril Estates White, pristine mansions with a metal fence going around the exterior.
