A new civilization announcement introduces the Otis Federation, a place presented as feeling like home—perhaps a little too much like home. Gaia leads the Otis Federation, serving as both Chief Justice of the Federal Court and Speaker of the Federal Parliament of the Gods.
Its government brings courts, councils and communities of many species together within a diverse society. The Federation recently took down its own Forbidden Territory barrier and now grows by welcoming humans, beastfolk, other beings and even monsters into its society. That approach distinguishes it from the Dominators, who seal themselves away.
Protection With a Price
The Federation offers residents shelter, medical care and a place to belong. Gaia's regenerative power can heal defects and extend life, earning her the affectionate name of the Mother among residents.
Her dominion power, Original Order, can quietly draw living beings into a mother-like dependence, while her slime-like regeneration may slowly consume those it embraces. The refuge is also an expanding form of rule: refusal to join or accept her love can turn gentle protection into something closer to assimilation.
The setting features Mediterranean harbors, sunlit islands and tiers of Greek-style houses connected by bridges and stairways, with temples tucked between the homes. Blue-green sea light gives the surroundings an open, lively appearance, and public squares reveal a proud civic life. Travelers often find warm hospitality in these quiet ports before discovering that the invitation to join and belong is not so easy to turn down.
The announcement names Gaia, Zeus and Hera among the goddesses of Otis. Zone Nova is available to wishlist.
