The Holy Land

The Holy Land – The so called Holy Land, where the Great Goddess lives. It is common knowledge that the Great Goddess lives in this world or is thought to. What is known about the world is that there are three chasms that lead to this world, but no one can tell how big it really it really is. As far as anyone can tell, the world is home to a very thick set of trees that are akin to being a mix of giant red woods, well over 1000 feet tall with trucks the size of houses, and jungle trees, the entire place one thick massive overgrown if stone floored jungle. The immediate areas around the chasms along the walls of the craters are all small open meadows, with more then enough room to put up a large fancy train station, however all attempts to keep such stations opened or operable have been met with heavy resistance. Just as the trees are over grown, so too are the beasts that inhabit the world. Boars and bears are the most commonly encountered creatures, but both are the size of semi-trucks, with anger issues to match and hides stronger then reinforced steel. They also maintain some kind of strong magical resilience, but they are not unkillable. Weak mostly against strong weapon techniques, they can be killed in one one fights with ease against powerful weapon masters, although they do have some kind added resilience to most ranged weapons fire. While a few do stray from the world and enter the chasms from time to time to enter other worlds being a common enough sight, they mostly stick to the Holy Land. Worse are the creatures found deeper within the world, large black panthers and tigers that are twice the size of the bears and boars, and mammoth sized raptors that hunt in packs, both far more blood thirsty then the beasts encountered around the edge of the jungle world. To make matters worse, the jungle is subject to very nasty storms, the sheets of rain thick enough to even pierce that heavy canopy that blots out most of the sunlight as well as floods the land a bit. Of course, a few feet of water only slows down the greats beasts of the jungle. The true fear that these great beasts possess however has come to be called the blood sight. They can see when blood is going to be spilled in the future and this only ignites their bloodlust further and attracts more and more predators to the scene of a fight. This is all pitiful in comparison to the blood red moon that rises over the land once very few months though sending all the creatures in the jungle into a raging frenzy. The only way to travel this land though is by foot. The very air openly attacks and kills anything that tries to fly, either suffocation or crushing the fool who tries to fly there, or worse, making them implode in on themselves, the fate of many of the stronger helicopters that have tried to take to the skies of the jungle world. Unbeknownst to all however is what lies at the center of the great jungle world. A massive lake takes up the center of the world and there at its center is an island. This island holds what was once a great and large airport from New York City. It was drastically changed during the Shattering Event however. The place is partially flooded, full of craters along the runways, the terminal itself is heavily over grown and flooded as well, vines and plant life having spread over it almost entirely. Everything inside still works perfectly however, and power is near infinite inside the terminal. The water and plant life seem to actually preserve and help keep everything fully functional. Endless streams of water pour from gaping holes in the vines and trees throughout the airport. The vending machines, fountain drinks, and even buffets are near infinite use, as long as it is rationed out and something remains to be replenished. All food and drinks present in the airport are always fresh and preserved near perfectly making this a great place for one to bunker down. While the structure is perfectly fine and preserved, even after having a nuclear weapon detonated with in the jungle, it is impossible to tell there was any such event even after only just 10 years, not even a trace of radiation remains. The Airport itself is partially but not completely Time Locked causing this mess. This Time lock effect comes from the water itself, which in addition to its time locking properties, also induces a great feeling of calmness and regeneration over those who drink and bathe in it, although these properties are short lived if one does not continue to stay with in the air port. Water can be bottled and transported out of the location and maintain its effects entirely, but once put to use, starts to lose it properties. Over use of the water and its properties does cause addiction to the water however, although this process takes at least 100 years of heavy use to become addicted. While the central lobby, a few of the more open fast food and buffet spots, and the hotel within the airport are all open, Little bit little, Alexia has been using powerful spell cards to create barriers using the time locked properties to lock down sections of the airport strictly for her own personal use and only for those of her choosing. The locked down areas that only she can include the terminal towers, one of which has become their major bedroom / game room, most of the offices and back rooms, the basement, and around most of the western side of the terminal. This still leaves massive points of the eastern and southern reaches of this giant airport open to those who can explore if they can survive the jungle. All of the hangers and the various airplanes are all accessible as well, however, due to the major amount of over growth in all of the planes, only a few planes small personal planes actually work. The Air will still opening attack who uses them however if they try venture off the island. Due the nature of the spell cards used and the binding of the spells to the water and plants within the airport, these barriers are impassable to all but the greatest of ancients and only those who have taken extensive time to both study the barriers in person and those who have studied the Time Locked status effect. (Know. / Res. The only know facts of this world are its outside borders and beasts that are encountered. Only one has survived the trip to the airport and now calls the place home. Magic cannot be used to map this work due its Time Locked Properties.)
