| Silverdan Why not Cortina? This is a question that enthusiasts of Tezoth's history, familiar with the eponymous country that existed in past centuries, might ask. The answer is simple — during the period when aristocrats took the reins of the kingdom's governance into their own hands, this would have stirred up unnecessary concerns in society and added friction to interregional relations. Therefore, the then-Lord Cartridge, a descendant of Cortina's original rulers, agreed to a different name — in his understanding, it was a small price to pay against the broader historical picture. But that's all history; in fact, Silverdan is home to the best schools, libraries, and laboratories in all of Tezoth, and much, much more connected to understanding the world from its smallest particles, like microbes, to its largest — celestial bodies. The professions of scientist and teacher are held in the highest esteem here. Regional origin: +1 to learning ability. Cortina One of the oldest cities of the south, where from time immemorial people have dreamed of the stars, hoping to one day reach out and comprehend them. But until that becomes possible, they will study everything around them — what drives people, how this world came to be, what effects certain plants and their combinations have on a person, how gravity works, and everything, everything, everything their minds can conceive of. Origin: explorer's journal (grants +1 to a random characteristic for every 35 unique entries about characters existing in the game, locations (you must visit them), beliefs, skills (you must know them yourself or see them being used). Pino People are not liked in this city. More precisely, not people as such, but large gatherings of them — the average resident would rather spend an evening with a mug of warm tea in one hand and a captivating book in the other than go to a concert or some kind of celebration. In all other respects, by Silverdan's standards, they are unremarkable. Origin: +1 to learning ability. Malinkonia The center of maritime trade in the region and, since Novellet was lost, its only port. Silverdan's scientific institutions attract the attention of overseas guests as well, and so Malinkonia is one of the best places to become acquainted with foreign cultures. Origin: some indeterminate overseas item. Tasanika A distinctive feature of Tasanika is its methods of controlling the body and mind through special diets, meditations, exercises, and practices. It is believed that the body is like clay, and with the right approach, you can shape anything out of it. Origin: the ability to redistribute standard characteristics (from -5 to +5) as well as choose a bonus of either gender. Kronaka During the war with the monsters of the crater, this city housed a significant portion of the wounded and is currently the location of the country's best hospital and medical university. Origin: access to the Doctor skill. Doctor In exchange for AP, brings back to life a character who fell in battle (outside of combat). Leaves no injuries. Lamento In wartime, this city was completely destroyed, but many of its inhabitants survived, gained experience, and returned to rebuild it. The diverse skills acquired during those years became a tradition, emphasizing the need to be "jacks of all trades." Origin: access to the Multitasking skill. Multitasking - If the character knows the "flee combat" skill, they can do so together with another ally who is on an adjacent tile to them. - If the character knows the "merchant" skill, the discount increases to 20%. - If the character knows the "leadership" skill, the SP bonus increases to +2. - If the character knows the "partner" skill, that one gains +1 to learning ability. - If the character knows the "stealth" skill, it can also be used during combat. Lord of Silverdan: Kaleido Cartridge. "His wife is science, and his children are the lines on the pages of a journal" — this is how contemporaries described Lord Cartridge on the day he and his neighbor, Lord Logg, set out on a dangerous expedition hoping to uncover the secrets of the dungeon. A year passed, then two, then three — the rulers of Silverdan and Teneressa never returned to the surface and were declared to have departed this world. Rule passed to Ipsilon Cartridge, his younger brother — and that is where the problems began. Sensing his incompetence, the ruler of Guildaria displayed conspiratorial, political, and military genius: he fabricated claims by his region to part of the territories, secured their recognition, and swiftly seized them into his own hands. Thus, the cities of Makiat, Tempesta, and Novellet, which were part of Silverdan, joined Guildaria, while Sanbornia went to a traitor. This was the most brazen redistribution of lands in the kingdom's history. For this reason, when Kaleido Cartridge did finally return to the surface alive, Ipsilon, unable to bear the burdens of rule, begged his brother on his knees to return to governing the region.
