Place Detail: [Surface]Underground
Although the surface is already far enough from the city's of Aether some have chosen to go even farther and live amongst the sprawling caves of the Underground. There are many entrances to the Underground as it is for the most part a network of large caves harboring districts although none of these districts have any sort of leader each for the most part has a designated use some being large markets for people to trade and barter for work, food, animals, other districts are used as homes they are essentially underground cities though some of the smaller districts resemble towns though these are usually a hazard as 'muties' and creatures soon encroach. For the most part the Underground is full of vandalism, murder, and the sure fire mentality of looking out for ones-self. Despite the free run system of the Underground there is as we say 'honor amongst thieves' and that honor is currently what keeps everyone out of power and the Underground so wildly run. Because the Underground is a bunch of caves and tunnels they are fairly dangerous as there are more then a few mutated creatures that make there homes there as well and although the large presence of people is usually enough to keep 'muties' out it's not entirely uncommon. It should also be noted that the sprawling Underground is home to many types of strange and diverse ecosystems.
Place Detail: [Surface]Ruins
Ruin's are commonly visited by Aether Raider's and are therefor avoided for the most part by anyone smart enough to want to avoid kidnapping. Ruin's as one would expect them are the slowly falling apart remnants of the factories and cities left behind when the Aether cities rose into the skies. Although the Ruin's were maintained for a short period of time after Aether islands ascension they were soon abandoned as people fell into violence and fear. Now left to be reclaimed by the plants and animals that have adapted or left to crumble these places are usually eerie and quiet. Although some people have chosen to remain in the Ruin's and are often called 'Ruin Rats' these shambles are really only good for the odd artifact of value or for the tools and spare ore sometimes still left over in factories.
Place Detail: [Surface]Towns/Camps/Others
Although most try and avoid others or prefer the shelter from the storms the Underground offers small towns and camps have become a more common sight though how each is run is another story. Some towns have become dependent of the mutant animals and still farm-able plants and have managed to re-introduce currency while other smaller towns are more like shambled shelters filled with heretics all preaching the words they have come to accept as truth. Camps are usually small families or thieves each surviving for the group and are rarely willing to speak with outsiders. For the most part people living out of the underground travel alone and while some are willing to share and trade others stick to the idea of killing first. There are of course probably your more deranged nut jobs who have turned to cannibalism but word is they have moved farther to the East.
Place Detail: [Aether]Upper Class City's
These beautifully kept cities are home to the elite and wealthy, many of whom have jobs as office workers, scientists, or running the factories and farms in the lower class cities. The cities themselves are kept clean with greenery and fountains adorning the white cobblestone streets, the only place that isn't sprawling with gleaming white and gold accents are the docks, due to there frequent use they are kept simple though the immaculate cleanliness is of course kept. The upper class cities have a fairly relaxed pace of living with no one feeling the need to rush it is only at night when the rich entertain one another that the city seems anything but slow. The people in the Upper Class cities do not speak with any particular accent and avoid using slang terms from the lower class cities. Beauty, education, and entertainment are the most valued things in the this city and those lacking it are often sneered at, to be frank its one big prudish popularity contest. It should be noted that only the Upper Class is allowed to /legally/ own weapons though most use them only as decoration or if there going to the surface. Because beauty is valued it is common to see the people dressed in elegant gowns and smart suits even the ANGEL's who guard these cities are overly dressed.
Place Detail: [Aether]Middle Class City's
These cities are home to those who work as the upper-classes maids, butlers, ect. The cities themselves are often over-populated and full of hotels and attractions to encourage the rich to come spend time there and often they do. Because the rich are to prudish to allow for any over-zealous partying or other activities many Middle Class cities earn there income by turning themselves into big over populated vacation spots where the rich can frollick about leaving behind there prudish attitude at home. People in Middle Class cities often have thick accents and use lots of slang more then a few of them are acquainted with self defense, the Middle class is also the closest one will come to a black market up in the Aether.
Place Detail: [Aether]Lower Class City's
These cities are split into two variants, those for farming are less crowded and the most exciting thing to happen there is have someone come in to pick up or drop off deliveries. The Lower class cities used for factories are often over crowded and over worked with poor hours most people start work at 13 and live in small apartments, the only real fun the people get in these cities are the rampant bars. ANGEL's are extremely common in these cities in order to maintain order and instill a good sense of fear. Air ships stop by often and if one would earn enough they might be able to get on an Air ship and upgrade there lifestyle to that of Middle Class resident.
