Nouveau Paris

Ah, Nouveau Paris (Pronounced in the French Style, [Noo-vo, pear-ee] the City of Light; the shining "Second Sun" of Aenos. Shining brightly high above the clouds this Thaummatech wonder-world perches on a series of crossing ley lines for power. Lit with thousands of small thaumatic lanterns, Nouveau Paris is known as the City of Light just as much for its forward thinking practices and as a center for education as it is known for its lights. The city is a shining gem of education and technology.

''' Originally built and largely inhabited by "The Frogs," a race of anthropomorphic frog-people, Nouveau Paris is their primary city and is practically a capital city in its own right. Smaller "modules" of Nouveau Paris float around Aenos and roam the Ley Lines, functioning as small towns and trading stations. However, each of these nodes calls the City of Light its home.

The Frogs generally do not care for the politics of the ground-world, merely for its technology. They eagerly trade with anyone who has new thaummatic devices for sale. Ruled by a council known simply as "The College," The City of Light is rather ironically a place of secular devotion to technology and learning. If the inhabitants can be said to worship anything, it would be the lights that illuminate their city all day and night. The city can be seen for miles away as a glowing jewel of progress and innovation. In addition to using Ley Energy, the city has begun to harness the sun's rays for other purposes.

Of course, the city has some problems...what with rampant experimentation with Thaummatech and an unforgiving military doctrine of merciless force. The City of Light is constantly on the lookout for new dangers and threats, and tends to solve them via beams of destructive concentrated light.

Light, power, life, and death. Praise the Sun.
