Click Here for a map of Asriath.
Map keys:

• Each square of the grid is equal to 1 square kilometre.
• The whole of Asriath is roughly 928 square km.
• Asriath is broken up into sectors; The north sector is focused mostly on businesses, companies and likewise, it also has several schools which are all practically neatly lined up next to one another. The East sector is the entertainment section, focusing on any and all recreational activities, from movies to shopping malls. Some of the movie theatres are a few kilometres across emphisizing just how big they are, likewise with the shopping Malls. The south sector is the restricted sector, most of the areas in the South cannot be accessed by the general public. This is the Government and engineering section, where the engines that keep the city afloat are worked on and the people who manufacture the parts for the city work, also where most of the 'unseemly' work is taken care of. The huge forest to the back of the south section is a real forest, not a small vid-forest (a forest manufactured in a laboratory) like the ones located in the north and east sections- the South forest is off-limits to civilians. The west section is devoted mainly to housing and apartments.
• The circle highway runs around all of the sectors and branches off every few kilometres.
• Free track-cars are provided at almost every major stop-over, since the cars are programed to come back anyway, it makes little difference to costs since they never run out of power.

SHIMMERING CHARACTER INFORMATION: (restrictions, details, explanations )

• All shimmering characters are limited to two power-balls. Each power-ball does two things for the holder- e.g; A single power-ball is able the give the shimmering wings and materialize a sword. This means, in laymen terms that each character has four magic powers.
• The power-balls only work on shimmering characters: e.g; power-balls cannot give wings to a normal person. Exceptions are: e.g; The shimmering character is able to breathe fire - this still effects the shimmering characcter, but it is an offensive ability.
• Shimmering characters do not look any different to normal people.
• The power-balls are all green in color, they are, therefore, indistiguishable from each other.
• (Even though this is not a statistic-based RPG I think the easiest way to explain this point is to use numbers). Power-balls are strenous to use, when you run a kilometre, you become tired/puffed. When you use a power-ball, you become tired/puffed as well. The power-balls take A LOT out of the shimmering and over-use has been known to make the holder collapse. E.g; Sally has 10 magic points, it costs 5 to use a single power-ball for ten minutes. She uses both of her power-balls (5+5=10) and no longer has any magic points, her adrenaline keeps her going for ten minutes or so, and then she collapses, barely awake. Note!!! The game is NOT statistic based, this example was just to get it through any thick-skulls.
• Shimmering powers usually unlock around puberty, although in dire situations the holders have been able to bring out their power-balls' ability earlier on. These circumstances would have to be REALLY dire though. Most power-balls unlock when the shimmering use voice commands; the on-switch is also the off-switch, so whatever the word was to start the ability up will be the same word to shut the ability down.

• Shadows are usually four-legged goers. They can walk on two legs, but are faster on all-fours. Shadows' physical appearances are mostly animalistic, and very varied, although there are some that appear human for the most part and could walk down a street without being stopped by the pound. Some shadows may be able to talk, if they were made with voice-chords. Most of the physical traits are left to individual Shadows.
• Shadows are VERY powerful physically. Most of them can stop a moving bus if they stand in front of it, and they don't feel stinging or slapping pain, so fists/feet/nails/falling won't make them back off. They have problems with stabbing pains e.g; being stabbed with a sword in the arm will make a shadow panic.
  Shadows that aren't a walking tank are usually even scarrier. Shadows were designed to BE shimmering, so they have certain impants or oddities that make them able to do things mortals shouldn't be able to do. E.g; some Shadows may be able to manipulate their eyes in certain patterns that the person looking at them becomes hypnotised without realizing it. Other Shadows might have certain chemicals in their sweat that when they expose their hands to oxygen it becomes a ball of fire.
• Shadows have a VERY unpredictable mental state, ones that look fine are probably even worse under their layer of control.
• Shadows communicate almost telepathically with one another, the body language, eyes, and scent of each other is like a blackboard with interpretations available to every other Shadow making talking almost rhetorical.
• Weaknesses of individual shadows are left up to the players.
