Another Realm's Aloria.

[avemechanicus]

Given my passion for alternate history, and love of hypothesis, I have a simple writing experiment my fellow Massivecrafters-
Aloria, and Regalia itself is notably Western in idealogical and roleplay focus. Regalia is based on Europe's feudal age, and while the other cultures are diverse, the epicenter of it all is a land of castles and armoured knights, maille and pikes. A world of dragons and ogres, undead and vampires.
What I ask for is ideas for an alternate Aloria, whether by changing the root culture that society is based on, changing some base social aspect, or even just a fundamental event, or element of the world, or it's history.

I've been rather fond of a Mesoamerican Aloria, a world of obsidian, gold and ritual war in the name of thirsting, many faced gods. The addition of steam, a little gunpowder and ritualized magic would further enhance this world in my eyes.

(Reserved for future excerpt of an Aloria under at thirsting sun)

I'm just gonna throw this here before someone beats me to it:

Aloria, but instead of a medieval European setting, is instead taken in medieval Japan/Asia. I think things would have pretty set counterparts, with the Samurai swapping out the regular knights, but at the same time introducing different technology such as cannons and primitive firearms.

I can't really delve deeper, as my Eastern knowledge is basically summed up to a few paragraphs in history books.

A modern day Aloria .Where the nobles are rich shits and normal roleplayers are normal people.We'd have to people who oppose Regalia's system as the far-left.The edgy hoodie vamps would be just as edgy..Instead of Regalia we would have this big flippin' city it would be like beijing but if beijing was designed for morbidly obese elephants. I.E. super giant

Perhaps an Inuit roleplay, involving the ice-cold towns of igloos, whalebone gear, everyone wears parkas

I like to imagine futuristic Aloria. Think along the same line as Shadowrun. All the races in a modern-future tech world, alliances forming, battling for control over Seraph artifacts that have recently begun to be rediscovered. Would be pretty damn cool.

I personally am fond of Prohibition Era Aloria, with some snazzy muscle cars, lyre-based swing music, a Regalian stock market, orcish/rashaq bootleggers, and an inter-continental affinity for partying.

What about.. A heavily pirate Aloria, movecraft installed (Though probably named "MassiveMove") and has regular sea battles. Or even something that never happened IRL, like all the world is over and mankind (and dwarf-kind, orc-kind etc.) is living on the last remaining land, what used to be mountains. You must take airships from place to place and.. Yeah I won't get ranty ;D

A world in the sky, continents floating on a "Sea" of energized gas, above a strange and eldritch world. The isles ranging from simple stones and pebbles, to supercontinents that dwarf the lands of the world, drifting slowly with occasional upheavals of new land from below. The world a sea of clouds, cities connected to each isle, bickering and fighting with strange magics that warp flesh, rust metal, and dry the flesh. Fisherman that trawl the uppermost atmosphere, and the deepest cloud banks. Technology a mix of lighting, steam, gears and simple pragmatism while strange elves with pale, thin features and warped joints wander the fog, slick fleshed and alien minded orcs build odd machines that shatter stone and cities, and dwarves innovate to rebuild the world beneath. All the while the humanity wanders adrift, connecting to whomever may hold them as useful, vagabonds in a world of air, rock, and lightning.

Yes. Exactly this.

Where the system of feudalism and the feudal manor system is often argued as to being a direct consequence of the fall of the Roman Empire, I want to imagine an Aloria where whatever theoretical event that spawned Alorian feudalism did not occur, and something similar to however the Seraph ran the world maintained itself. For the purposes of this prompt, I want to specifically imagine an Aloria based and modeled after the world of the Roman Empire at its peak, whichever period or era people would want to argue that being.
