A society ruled by a Circle of Archdruids which seeks to harmonize its architecture, technology, and way of life, with nature. With a focus on sustainability and well-being.
Veranova
Under the name Veranova, this society is composed of different establishments of citizens, each one ruled by their own Circle of Druids, which all respond to the overarching Circle of Archdruids. Their priority is to build a sustainable lifestyle that will allow humanity to regrow and learn from the past’s mistakes of unmeasured overproduction, disproportionate accumulation, and irresponsible hiper-industrialization. Adult citizens of Veranova that pass certain education requirements are considered Druids, becoming an official part of the Circle of their town.
Lumnia has been through enough
Considering that The Launch is humanity’s chance to improve their ways, their completely eco-friendly lifestyle makes every part of their society cooperate with the natural environment. Their architecture adapts to the natural affordances of the environment. Their technological inventions take inspiration from nature’s ways, and aim to increase and improve their sustainability. Their production is always calculated to be just enough, with hardly any excess or waste.
A Culture of Balance
Each Circle of Druids takes steps to ensure they can produce everything necessary to sustain themselves, but nothing more. This type of decision is part of Veranova’s culture and appears in other aspects of their lifestyle. It is rare to see a Druid lose control of themselves through things like overworking or overeating.
Eco-Architecture
Each Druid City adapts to the specific environment it is built in. You can find cities built around ancient enormous trees, functioning like treehouses; or cities where the houses use the hills as the natural walls for their houses.
Current Figures and Problems
The Circle of Archdruids is currently deliberating on how to deal with Dekrenia’s expansion, trying to find a diplomatic avenue for conflict resolution. Envoys of Veranova have also been sent to converse with nearby Scavenging Troupes, and a group of scouts found that Meleborus has begun expanding beyond the Forest of Decay.
