Ri

Return to Main · Ea

The World of Ri [璃 · 리] is a complex, multi-layered, post-apocalyptic world consisting of three components:

 * 1) "Pinnacle of Man-Kings" [万国巅 · 만국전]
 * 2) The Wild  [野 · 야]
 * 3) “Yemog”  [蕊牧 · 예목]

"Pinnacle of Man-Kings" [万国巅 · 만국전]
All of the visible population in Ri is concentrated here, often referred to simply as "The City". In a landmass less than 0.3% of its original size, roughly 300 nations with a sum of 10 billion human beings are condensed into mixed-use skyscrapers linked by high-speed rail in the skies. The average height of buildings is 314.7 stories high. "The City" was created by humanity in response to The Apocalypse, which gave rise to The Wild. The mastermind behind the architectural concentration is Elronde: Majesty, non-candidate.

The Wild [野 · 야]
"The Wild" is the vast region surrounding the core "City", extending all the way to what the inhabitants refer to as the edge of the world. The Wild is overrun by a form of CTVT that became the first dog-to-human case of transmission in history. Humanity's response was the condense themselves into an inner urban core by vertical architecture as opposed to fighting head-on with the CTVT that over years is presumed to have also cross the fauna-flora barrier to metastasize to plant organisms. In all, The Wild is an off-limits area that covers over 99.7% of the original landmass. Despite this, the Wild is home to one single individual: Healon, Candidate of X.

“Yemog” [蕊牧 · 예목]
“Yemog” is an unknown realm that purportedly exists on top of the entire human civilization. Those who have visited "Yemog" claim the realm is an untouched state of nature that is in stark contrast from both "Pinnacle of Man-Kings" and the cancerous "Wild". Purportedly inhabited by titanic beings who are able to "create entire worlds with their voices". Little else is known about "Yemog", and the strongest evidence of its existence is the trace powers that people unlock after visiting and returning to the human world. Colloquially, "Yemog" is also used to refer to specific individuals who have visited the mysterious region and returned with its powers. The first Yemog revealed is Nyeve.
