What Is Magnolia?

Magnolia: City of Marvels - Setting of Art, Punk, and Rebellion is a system-agnostic micro setting set in a fantasy world city. A revolution in art is going on in the city where art takes central place. A government in which the nobles are the ones who set the laws and control the guards means conservatism in art remains in power. But the arrival of the Purple Dragons, a new punk gang looking to liberate the meaning of art with new modern fashion styles, graffiti art, and more, might change all forever.

In the Art section we will provide an explenation of how important Art is in this world and how it affects everyone in the city and contienent you decide to place Magnolia in. Why has it become such an important thing for the city? How much power does art really have, and how dangerous can it become?

Factions describes the groups that play a vital role in the actual state of Magnolia. Nobles are divided into houses looking for power. Guilds act looking out for business and themselves, but are tied within the threads of the nobles. As for the gangs, their hierarchy is quite loose and are composed of multiple groups, the Purple Dragons being the most predominant at the moment. They all have different objectives and viewpoints, and clash or form alliances constantly.

The City of Magnolia is rich in things to do, mysteries, adventures, and above all things, art. However, within the numerous districts and landpoints lie a plethora of secrets, diverse and unique personalities, opression, and a hunger for wealth and power. Will you be the one to make sure no disaster arises, or the one to bring chaos and rebellion?

Magnolia has several Important Characters within its houses and streets. Incredibly diverse due to the touristic nature of the city and their way of thinking. Every faction has their own standouts, with mannerisms, beliefs and objectives. In addition to that, the past of these characters may be intertwined, meaning you may share a common ally, or enemy.

In a world that is beginning to find ways to intersect magic and technology, several Important Items that once were thought to be impossible now exist. Some have magical qualities, while others have small compartments and cogs that allow for wondrous effects to occur. Some that stand out at the moment are the graffitti paint cans and a skateboard-like device.
