Continents of Geba

Manalheim is an independent volcanic continent of steady warmth and regenerative abundance, where low-intensity eruptions enrich the soil rather than destroy it and constant rain feeds lush, fast-growing biomes. Its sparse, mobile settlements cluster around springs and terraces in harmony with the geothermal cycles, and many who come to Manalheim simply stay. Elective absorption, personnel who arrive on assignment and choose never to return, is common enough to have earned its own name.

Mapped by the Kazo Reyjuul and Huyasa Sers expedition during the Imperial Conquest, it was never truly settled because nature will not allow it. The land takes back infrastructure almost immediately, and nothing beyond small outposts can hold without a super-spine that cannot be built in the modern era. Manalheim Minor, the smaller island, is kept deliberately wild for the Hunting Games.

There is little doctrine here and less politics, only a handful of people living close to a generous land and preferring it to everything they left behind. Manalheim keeps no faith of its own and answers no centralization broadcast.

The abundance and the autonomy are the whole belief, and the continent's quiet argument is simply this: it is possible to walk away from the Energy Wars and the syndicates entirely, and to be happy having done it.
