Aeternus' Chain

Over time all the industrious creations of House Fornax left their toll on Maja.

The planet, riddled with mines, factories and shipyards, began to break apart even further. As the population grew and the space to live shrank, Cordifex Fornax Aeternus Fabros brought up the idea of moving the nobility off the planet's surface.

A habitational ring was built, spanning around the angry planet. Outfitted with everything a noble could want, it elevated the Senators and their families to a life of luxury, looking down on their home planet. Enormous halls turned into gardens and parks, artificial rivers and lakes to soothe the mind. Recreational areas full of luxuries, housing areas mimicking the most beautiful sceneries of other planets.

Meanwhile the planet undergoes further changes. The living space of humans shrinks further to the ever growing industrial complexes, factories large as small moons spring up, mines dug up ever deeper.

While the families of those who work closely under nobility are moved up into the more confined habitational areas of what was now named Aeternus' Chain, most of the common people remain on Maja.

A handful enormous cities remain on the planet, huddled around the giant pillars that connect the noble's ring with the planet, the so called Chain Links. These few cities harbor millions of people each, houses stacked above houses, little space for green, secured under artificial atmospheres, confined in barriers that keep the lethal temperatures at bay, built on shock absorbent pads that are able to withstand even the worst earthquakes, making city buildings swing heavily, but never collapse. Outside of the cities lie the mines and factories that most of Maja's populace works in, safe but still affected by the thick atmosphere and the burning temperatures, that make movement outside impossible without safety suits.
