The famous homeland of the Lusterians. A vast, glistening expanse of desert sand. With its mysterious pyramids, stunning architecture and fascinating cultural history.

Cities

The capital city of Gildensand. Sometimes called the Gilded City due to its vast amounts of gold detailing. It is famous for its talented goldsmiths and quality wines.

---Riverside---
A popular retreat for its tours of the Stardust river. This small city is surrounded by farmland. Its remote location and access to the Stardust river however has made it a center of activity for more unscrupulous civilians. It even acts as a hub for the infamous Thieves Guild.

---Goldenheart---
Offering tours of the famous Buried City. This city is also known for housing the largest museum in the nation.

---Heart of Sand---
The archaeological hotspot of the nation. This is a modest city in terms of its size but its historical significance is strong as its the site of the Palace of Pharaohs and was the heart of the old Gildensand Kingdom. It is also located near the Great Tombs. These vast pyramids draw onlookers from far and wide to see them.

---Spirit"s Oasis---
Once a small town its proximity to the Spirit"s Oasis has provided it with the resources it needed to prosper. Now its a thriving trade town full of exzotic products and famous for its resterounts. Unfortunately it is also a hub for criminal activity. Some say it might even be the location of the infamous Thieves Guild. But there is no evidence to support this claim.

---Port Silverglyph---
This bustling trade port has become a hotspot for all sorts of individuals. Even pirates show up here and the city welcomes them as long as they don"t cause trouble.

Towns

Towns are a bit like guilds. But they are settlements you can have people live in. They can either be legitimate settlements operating under the country"s laws or hidden from the governing country and abiding by their own (if any). Illegal towns can be lawless criminal towns, cultist settlements or what ever else you can think of.

Towns can not be themed around anything relating too the real world directly or other media properties like Pokemon or Dragon Ball Z.
They can be themed around mythical creatures and genres like wild west, steampunk and medieval but can"t be ultra sci-fi. Steampunk and modern are the most technologically advanced they can be.

Feel free to change up the subcategories in the Laws section however you like. You can even add new ones or remove the existing ones.

People can ask to have their characters move into your town. Any characters with profiles that are a part of the town should have their name listed in the Town Residents section with the name linked to their profile. If the character doesn"t have a profile they are considered an NPC. They don"t need to be listed in the profile but can still be considered residents.

Feel free rename the existing Town Resident classes and add new categories.
