Faithful Perseverance

Faithful Perseverance is a moon in the Zeturoka system of the Sunlit Worlds, and member of the Tiar-Sii Belt.

Physical characteristics
Faithful Perseverance is an ocean-moon of the gas giant Dokra-Mavi. Although a majority of the moon is deep ocean, some regions had sparse island chains and extremely shallow littoral zones both of which allow for construction. Thus cities find themselves sometimes in the middle of vast horizons of water. A handful of cities were built in the polar regions, trading views of the water for views of ice flows.

With the advent of more advanced anti-gravity technologies, certain deep water regions have become home to sprawling undersea urban areas.

History
Originally, the colony was founded as a Nilatite exporting outpost by the Tiar-Shi Sphere almost three millennia prior to the Great Schism. At that time, Faithful Perseverance's atmosphere was minimal as it was just beginning to form naturally.

Despite instability and conflict involving the Tiar-Shi during the War of Many Banners and War of Beginnings, the moon would avoid death and destruction and accumulate wealth. The Tiar-Shi would collapse soon after the War of Beginnings, leaving Faithful Perseverance in a splinter of the once great civilization; the Tiar-Sii Belt.

Over time and using its wealth, the moon was terraformed to have a proper atmosphere and slowly transformed from its industrial origins into a popular vacation destination, a research center for anti-gravity technologies, and the home to impressive displays of architecture and aqua-features.

Governance and military
Part of the Tiar-Shi Sphere at the time of its settlement, Faithful Perseverance continues to serve under its successor the Commonality of the Tiar-Sii Belt. Local decisions are made under a Lord council. While each council-member clan maintains its own independent guard corps. A council-run "wet navy" also exists. This is made up of five fleets of Selkies, with a Kelpie acting as a flagship for each.

Living on the moon is a highly sought-after venture, which has led to a property-buying waitlist being put in place. Even after factoring in the exorbitant prices.

Culture
The architectural style on Faithful Perseverance is a unique blend of older Tiar-Shi styles while making generous use of integrated landscaping and aqua-features.

Despite its Tiar-Shi origins, Faithful Perseverance uses Qerenoka as its primary language due to some neighboring systems joining the Crimson League.
