The Conformist Capital
Evenhere City
The Here
Concrete towers scrape against a pale sky as the Here move with practiced silence. They wear uniforms of slate and consume rations of flavorless mush. Compliance represents safety. Explore the capital of order. Discover the heavy cost of a regulated life.
All the Here of Evenhere muddle through this city of complicit complacency. Where heremen are bored and wem intentionally disobey their husbands because the prison sentence is like a vacation. Herelings must work to pay bills and the elderhere have a twenty-five hour daily curfew all nine days of the week.
Order demands absolute submission. The Uncrowned King enforces this rigid mandate alongside his Big Aught Council. Big Aught Police officers patrol the streets. Mandated Heremen suppress the slightest hint of rebellion. The Gray Order thrives on fear and isolation. They burn the ancient libraries to control the narrative. Understand the mechanisms of this vast regime.
The Uncrowned King
Ruler of Evenhere who sits upon a granite throne, enforcing a realm of absolute suppression. Once a vibrant being, he has willingly drained himself of color and emotion, viewing passion as a fatal vulnerability. Now a monolith of gray with shockingly orange hair, he demands total silence and conformity from his citizens. He believes that peace can only be achieved through complete control, making him a formidable obstacle against any spark of rebellion or creativity that dares to rise within his kingdom.
The TriAught Council controls Evenhere through a demand for emotionless compliance. Together they maintain the Gray Order, stifling emotion and snuffing out vibrancy.
