A Realm Unveiled: Discovering the Wonders of Mai Nexus

Step through a shimmering portal to be greeted by a panorama that steals your breath away. Azure skies stretch above, while below, the majestic Red Rocks rise in grandeur, cradling deep chasms and serene lakes, including the distant, specially terraformed ocean of Jormungandr. Suspended within this breathtaking expanse are a constellation of floating islands, artfully arranged in an eight-pointed star at varying elevations.

The largest of these aerial havens is home to the Royal Mansion Resort, a testament to elegant design nestled into a gentle mountain on its secluded sanctuary. The Royal Mansion rises from its mountain, standing proud and welcoming, its silhouette glowing softly beneath the vast expanse of azure sky. The air here is clean, warm, filled with the subtle scent of jasmine and wild herbs carried on a high breeze. Above, light birds circle lazily in the thermals, their calls distant and melodic.

Within the caldera of the mountain which cradles the Royal Mansion is the home of the Starweave Modular System, that which powers the entirety of Mai Dominion and beyond.

But this is just the beginning of the wonders held aloft. Among the other floating islands, you’ll find:

1. The resonant hum of the Te’lalun Rings Harmonic Engine,
2. The imposing silhouette of the Obsidian Spire – the nerve center of security,
3. The ever-expanding verdant clusters of the Sentari Guardens,
4. The vital Sanctuary Haven Hospital,
5. The Athenaeum Floating Library,
6. The Maiverse Crown, the seat of power.
7. The Triad of Sovereign Grace governing buildings
8. The Eldritch Medical Center
9. The Eldritch Orphanage
10. The Eldritch Elementary School
11. The Interdimensional Academy of Cosmic Sciences
12. The Shadow Haven
13. The Temple of the Wandering Monks: 虚空庵, Kokū-an – The Hermitage of the Void
14. The Observatory
15. The Hidden Glade (Hidden Manor, Buttercup Land, Blossom Village)

Either side of the mountain, towering Aztec sandstone cliffs frame the Nexus like ancient guardians, their red faces glowing warmly beneath the sunlight, their textures rough yet dignified, their heights vast and humbling. You can almost feel the radiating warmth of the stone beneath your palm as you pass near.

On either side of the dramatic chasm, the ancient Aztec sandstone rises in majestic formations. To the left, nestled serenely in the rock face, lies the Temple of the Wandering Monks, simple in design, its wooden beams weathered but graceful. A faint chime of wind-bells drifts from the temple’s entrance, carried on the breeze, blending with the rhythmic hum of distant chanting.

Beside it, perched gently atop the plateau, the Monastic Cottages cluster in quiet communion—tiny lights glowing softly from within, flickering like earthbound stars against the dusk. Smoke curls faintly from a few chimneys, tinged with the subtle aroma of incense and firewood.

Beneath the Temple of the Wandering Monks, embedded into the sheer cliff wall, a set of sleek, dark doors gleam faintly in the shadow: Demon Shadow Fine Dining. There’s an alluring energy here—a faint bass hum, like distant music vibrating beneath the stone, accompanied by the faintest trace of savory spice on the air. The kind of place that whispers promises rather than advertising itself.

To the right, atop the cliff plateau, the elegant Observatory stands poised toward the heavens. Its domed roof glistens faintly under the sun, while the telescopes peer skyward like sentinels. A soft, mechanical whir can be heard intermittently as they adjust themselves, scanning distant constellations.

Beneath the Observatory, embedded deeper in the stone, lies the Eldritch Medical Research and Treatment Center. Though unseen from the outside, you can sense its quiet hum of energy: subtle vibrations in the cliff, faint glowing seams, a low resonance felt more than heard.

Behind the various Sentari Guardens floating islands, stretching into the distance, is the vast, shimmering expanse of Jormungandr’s ocean. Half a mile beyond, yet fully present, its waves glistening under the sunlight like liquid sapphires. You can smell the clean, faintly salty breeze as it drifts through the canyon, carrying a soothing, endless rhythm.

All around, the cliffs embrace the constellation of floating islands, while far below, the canyon floor meanders like a living river of stone, winding beneath the arching pathways above. Each island, each cliffside sanctuary, each hidden door holds its story. Every space visible yet distinct, every corner waiting to be discovered.
