[Blood Witch]New Capenna Sky Lounge 32x56 (Patreon)

New Capenna is a city of steel and chrome that rises from a plateau of vast emptiness and long-abandoned townships, a testament to the might of its long-forgotten founders. The city is surrounded by a skirt of wires and a shield of diffuse Halo, the very essence of the angels. This barrier that the builders had left behind remains, a last bastion of hope against a great, now-forgotten evil. Outside the city, the plane is desolate and devoid of life.

The city is encased in a dome that keeps it consistently temperate. Though it has a government, it is so ineffectual that Elspeth still has not learned its name after living on the plane for multiple weeks. Rather, the monopoly on violence within the city is wielded by its five ruling families.

The five families settled in to dominate niche industries and command territory in the city's three boroughs, operating in full view of each other and in secret. A nominal, all-but-vestigial city government ensures the lights stay on, the water is clean, and the streets are kept in good repair. Law as other planes know it — a crown or government and a police force, with hard rules and penalties for those who break them — does not exist in New Capenna. Instead, there is an agreement, a code agreed to by the five families. Fronts, subterfuge, and clandestine operations are played out as mutually understood theater. They all do it, and they all understand that it is polite to try and hide their flouting of the rules, a nod to the fact that the rules exist. Flexibility, allowances, favors, and looking the other way are key in New Capenna: as long as no one family attempts to take too much for themselves, neither will the other families, and there is peace in New Capenna.
