Planitia Poleis

"They are the foxes of the red desert, achieving their goals not by force but by unparalleled cunning"

A league of independent cities stands between the two most dominating powers of the Martian hemispheres. The Planitia Poleis are mediators between Olympus Mons and the Red Dragon yet at the same time profiteers of their smoldering feud.

Most visitors from other worlds will likely find themselves among the Planitia Poleis, as they are well known for their hospitality as compared to the isolationist culture of the Red Dragon and the mistrusting nature of Olympus Mons. These cities are crucibles of commerce and culture, sharing both with the red planet's most prominent nations as well as countless nomadic peoples and enclaves.

More than anything, they value their value their position of independence. Only in times of most dire need will the League truly bond for a united cause, defending their sovereignty against any and all.

Oases of the red desert
Each Polis is a metropolis of millions, a lone pillar of civilization in a vast desert only settled by the humankind since few centuries. Many still maintain strong ties to the void, especially to the Nexus Guilds and traders from off-world.

Whilst their roots reach deep into protective cave systems and lava tubes, many poleis have grown onto the surface, erecting shielded domes and great ziggurats, inhabiting ancient calderas and canyons of the scorched red world. Most wondrous structures and wonders were built by the architects of this new world and none can be compared easily to any other.
