Behold, the magical game land of Neoternia, where all the young hip trolls like to virtually hang out with their online friends and NeoSpawn!

There are many different lands in Neoternia.

Musclemeat Patty Lawnring Land is the center of Neoternian life. It features many shops and delightful burger-shaped hives surrounded by lawnrings. The perfect home for your mid-blooded custodian.

Hivestemetropolis is just to the North of Musclemeat Patty Lawnring Land. If your custodian wants a more urban setting, this is the ideal location for them.

Draconic Forest lies West of Musclemeat Patty Lawnring Land. A more secluded and mysterious area than the aforementioned suburban and urban locales. Many enigmatic creatures inhabit these woods.

Desert Ruins are just Northwest of the Draconic Forest. Few trolls choose to inhabit an environment of such extreme temperatures. Blazing hot days and freezing cold nights. But those who do might find that mythical monsters, the legendary Rainbow Drinkers, dwell within the temples. Not for custodians that are faint of heart!

Craggy Mountain lies North of the Desert Ruins, just to the West of the Majyyk Faerie Kingdom. Only bluebloods can build their virtual hives in this ruggedly luxurious and exclusive habitat.

Majyyk Faerie Kingdom is located East of Craggy Mountain. Enchanting and lithesome nymphs make their home within the woods and streams that make up this darling area.

Archaeological Site is quite a journey for young custodians, located in the far Northern reaches of the Neoternian globe. Adventuresome explorers like to inspect these ancient tombs and puzzling monuments, trying to discover their secrets.

Kittypaw Cavern is on the Eastern side of Neoternia. The inhabitants of these caves are pawfully cute, but watch out for their sharp claws and fangs if you cross them. They can rip a Mutant Olinormaphant in two with one swipe! Make sure you bring plenty of catnip and mouse toys to assuage the purrsnickety felines.

Miracle Beach is South and a little West of the Draconic Forest. The ultimate hotspot for relaxing religious getaways. Anyone can visit, but only landdwellers at the top of the hemospectrum are allowed to set up hives there.

Underwater Palace houses the Empress and her retinue. No one other than the Heiress Apparent is allowed to build a hive in this special space. And entrance is by invitation only!

Shipwreck Island lies in Neoternia’s Southern hemisphere. They say there’s magical treasure buried within the sands of this island, but it’s guarded by the dreadful gamblignants.

Condescension Space Station floats around Neoternia, keeping a watchful eye on its young inhabitants and making sure they don’t get up to any tricks.

Some notes about this AU’s Alternia

The giant horrorterror squid lusus that protected the Empress and her heir apparent do not exist on Alternia. They still have a giant cuttlefish lusus, but it’s not nearly so terrifying nor is it capable of culling the entire species by glubbing. As a consequence, the seadwellers, while still powerful, do not have the same supreme chokehold over troll society and their position at the top of the hierarchy is more precarious. The war between sea and land is therefore much more pronounced.

Troll society is matriarchal. They have an amorphous female deity they refer to as god and they also worship the Mother Grub. For the most part, the genders are treated equally, but women are considered stronger, more cunning and vicious, and allowed certain privileges (such as the wearing of skirts). Although men can ascend the ranks, it is difficult for them to reach the highest positions of power. The head of the subjuggulators is usually female, though ever so often you have a male Grand Highblood. The absolute ruler, the Empress, is always female, and only female trolls are allowed to tend to young mother grubs.

What are their aspirations for when they grow up?
What do they like about themselves?
What do they dislike about themselves?
Do they know any of the other trolls prior to going on NeoSpawn? (discuss with other players)
