Festenya

This article is incomplete. (You can help by expanding it.)

Festenya is a large city-plane that serves as a central hub for many stories within the Sakonverse. A sprawling mix of art deco and traditional medieval building styles, the plane of Festenya is home to many artisans, merchants, grifters, and kingpins alike. It is the location of the sets The Golden Era and The Golden Era: Night of Thieves.

Geography
Much of the plane is covered in a massive city of winding streets, tall buildings, and open markets. A large body of water, known locally as Lake Fayen, lies west of the city, bisecting the plane. Further west, on the opposite shores of the lake, lies the elven territory of Wildspring. A massive, ancient wall runs between the city and Wildspring and has existed long before recorded history. The origins of the wall are debated, but many believe it was a final gift from the plane's angelic gods before they returned to their own realm.

Nights on Festenya last nearly twice as long as days. Much of the plane has adapted to the lengthy nightlife, working during the day and celebrating well into the long nights. Festenya's weather is calm, with mild summers and cold winters. Most of the southern portions of the city are overcast but few harsh storms ever ravage the city.

City Districts
Festenya is split into three districts, each with their own unique culture and inspirations. The districts are largely divided by class and inhabited by humans. Azra and fae also live within the city's boundaries, but most of the elves keep to themselves in Wildspring.

Storia District
(Stalbrit in Fae)

Storia district is the plane's slums. Ramshackle, Victorian-style buildings are connected by waterways instead of roads and the overall mood is one of despair and emptiness. The skies of southern Storia are painted black with smog from Smokeheap, a series of factories at Festenya's southern pole. Many of Smokeheap's workers live in Storia, and they never experience upward mobility due to the backbreaking factory work.

Kinsfield District
(Karloni in Fae)

Kinsfield is home to the plane's artisans, craftsmen, and honest folk. It is the largest and most populated district in the city and has an air of hope about it. Kinsfield is famous for its seaside markets where merchants from across the city come to trade goods with the rest of the plane.

Vitalia District
(Vitora in Fae)

Vitalia is the lavish, high class district of Festenya. Its residents are generally wealthy, white collar workers or have inherited enough money to live comfortably. The district is dominated by opulent, art deco buildings and is resented by outsiders for being out of touch. Planar markets, where various planeswalkers gather to sell otherworldly trinkets, are common in Vitalia district.

Wildspring
The Wildspring is a large expanse of forest east of the city and is home to the plane's elvish population. It is connected to the city via large gates in the wall, but the city's citizens are discouraged from traveling the Wildspring without a guide. Elves find themselves at home among the beasts of Wildspring but the average person risks death.

Norrala Village
The main elven clan, the Norrala elves, have a sprawling village in the northern parts of Wildspring. The village is hidden among the trees and stretches vast distances across Wildspring's canopy. Envoys from the Norrala clan live in Kinsfield district and regularly embark on goodwill missions within the city.
