| − | ==Spirit Courts & Broods== | + | ==Ubiquitous Spirits of Portland's Shadow== |
| − | There are a few spirit courts located in the City of Roses. These are inevitably made up of the kinds of spirits possessed of urbane tendencies, whether because of their own innate nature or by ingesting the city-resonances through the Essence they consume.
| + | * '''Temperate Rainforest Spirits:''' ''Naturals''. The native environment of Portland is that of a temperate rainforest, a fairly rare biome in the world's ecology. The heavy rain it receives makes it a lush home for plantlife of a broad variety, and even in Portland's man-infested Shadow, those tree, fern and various animal spirits still make their homes. |
| − | ===Feudal Domains===
| + | ** ''Rank 1 Spirits:'' eye eater (Rank 1 raven spirits), malkin (Rank 1 cat spirits), sweet-thorn (Rank 1 blackberry spirits), vermin (Rank 1 rat spirits), workers (Rank 1 ant spirits) |
| − | * '''The Court of Portlandia:''' ''Northwest Portland'' The Court of Portlandia is a spirit court gathered around the spirit called ''Portlandia'' (Essence 5 • Location Spirit) and her four Directors: the Director of Roads, ''Cobblestone''; the Director of Rails, ''Steamwhistle''; the Director of Flight, ''ATC''; and the Director of Docks, ''Paddlewheel''. The Directors are all Essence 4 Conceptuals who embody the modes of travel that make the commerce of Portland possible. Additionally, the Directors also have elemental associations, with Roads associated with Earth, Rails associated with Fire, Flight associated with Air and Docks associated with Water. The Court of Portlandia is easily the largest spirit court in Portland's Shadow, and hosts a variety of travel and elemental spirits in their retinues. The Court is based out of the Thirteenth Floor, a floor of the Portland Building that exists only in Shadow. | + | ** ''Rank 2 Spirits:'' cunning mask (Rank 2 raccoon spirits), flameleaf (Rank 2 maple spirit), omen bird (Rank 2 death/owl spirits), |
| − | * '''X:''' ''Southwest Portland'' X | + | ** ''Rank 3 Spirits:'' mongrel (Rank 3 dog spirits), trapweavers (Rank 3 orb spider spirits) |
| − | * '''X:''' ''Tualatin'' X | + | * '''Rain Spirits:''' ''Elementals''. Spirits of rain and drizzle predominate the skies of Portland's Shadow. Though they tend to be individually weak (Portland almost never sees the kind of stormy weather that leads to the birth of storm elementals, for instance), they are quite numerous and powerful as a group. These spirits frequently war with the solar spirits who frequent the Willamette Valley for dominance of the skies. |
| − | ===Mob Rule Domains===
| + | * '''Counterculture Spirits:''' ''Conceptuals''. "Keep Portland Weird" goes the saying, and that's just the way these spirits like it. Myriad spirits of countercultural and sub-cultural expressions make Portland their home: liberal politics, civil rights, queer activism, environmentalism and all manner of similar conceptuals find themselves quite at home here. |
| − | * '''X:''' ''North Portland'' X | + | * '''Solar Spirits:''' ''Celestials''. Strangely in a place that sees so much rain, Portland's Shadow has a powerful contingent of solar spirits who routinely wage war with the spirits of the rain for dominance of the skies. It is said that there is a reclusive court of solar spirits far in the skies above Portland, but it is so difficult to reach that no one really knows anything about them. |

| − | * '''X:''' ''Northeast Portland'' X
| |
| − | * '''The Silicon Web:''' ''Beaverton/Hillsboro'' An already large and expanding spirit brood based out of the so-called Silicon Forest area of Shadow between Beaverton and Hillsboro, the Silicon Web is made up of a host of technological spirits. The exact lords of this court are unknown - it is hostile to those who enter its domain, and even those who approach it respectfully speak only to emissary spirits. Based on the name of the court, though, most assume it is an arachnoid technology spirit of some kind. | |

| − | * '''The Silicon Forest:''' A massive portion of the Beaverton and Hillsboro Shadow is home to what is called the Silicon Forest, an eerie area thick with technological spirits of all kind, draped in filaments of spun silicon which pulse ominously like light through optic cabling. The spirits of this area are all part of the Shadow Web court (see above), a body of technological spirits. Most of the area's loci are found within the Silicon Forest, as well.
| |
| − | ** ''The Server Citadel (Catalyst):'' A perpetually black-skied area whose stars blink and pulse in binary code, accessed through strictly-controlled tunnels of woven silicon filaments, the Server Farm is located over one of the largest of the Intel campuses in the area. This is the seat of the Silicon Forest, and it is thick with spidery technological spirits. This area is also a Catalyst, transforming those spirits who come here (or, far more frequently, dragged here by Silicon Web spirits) into technological servitors of the Web. The potent technological Resonance of the area is strong enough to bleed through, affecting the humans who work on this campus, investing them with a near-obsessive interest in technology (or perhaps simply driving away those without such an interest already).
