Welcome to Gaia! ::

Dorin looks like a Hidden city peeking among the mountains. It is one of the most technologically advanced Cities in the world second only to Balduvia. Dorin forms the largest mass of citizens in all of Glasica and is visited by People from all over the World.

The city is surrounded by busy Motorways that lead between districts and large skyscrapers that reach up among the mountains. Al bhed created heater devices ensure that the city is ever heated in the cold Glasica nights ensuring that the city can keep attracting people even into the night. The Nightlife is in fact what attracts the majority of people as the latest bands frequent its Bars and clubs. Anyone who is anyone in the music business will have played here at some stage.

By day there are a number of tourist stores and supply shops that await the eager traveller along with a large arena where fights are often staged, where a warrior can test his strength in battle.

Since the years that have passed the Tiebak resort has been rebuilt alongside Dorin bringing in much more tourists to a single location and making it easier for travellers to visit both places. Tiebak is a small leisure resort community in the snowy plains on glasica. Its main attraction are the fields of ice where one can freely skate without fear of falling through as the ice forms on solid ground here. Tiebak has many leisure hunting tourists but very rarely anything else. There is also a ski run that leads to several large ice caves at the base.

Main areas of Dorin: Arena, Bars and Clubs, back alley stores, Market, skyscrapers, Motor way.

main areas of Tiebak: Ice rink, Leisure camp, Ice caverns

NPC
Rulae the pop star singer of the dorin dome, she is a master songstress and can perform magic though dance and singing. Happy care free lover of all colourful talent.

"A place for the wealthy to divulge and be pampered i can see how you would fit in here"

Risa grinned knowing hed take it in good conscience. she looked up at the city as its bright lights lit up the shy in the centre of the cliffs. truth be told she would rather not go the such a place where all manner of retched people went, greed bringing them and there own selfish ideals, but if it was where andreas wished to go she would follow. it no longer mattered to her.

Risa didn’t pay much attention to the man ether and just followed andreas into the dome. it was an impressive site and seemed a very entertaining place. she followed andreas down the busy street looking around at the lit up buildings and following the man to their hotel.

the looks they got from people were very annoying. all shocked to see the count and the strange woman he was with. she sneered wanting to get out of the busy streets, she didn’t like people that much.

as they arrived at the hotel the man showed them in and it seemed very pose, the bell boy rushed of to get there luggage.

"Will you be sharing room."

risa looked at him with contempt then stared at andreas who seemed to be amused by it. the man looked worried and shocked as she stared back.

After a rest in her room still annoyed by tat stupid employee, risa lifted her self out of bed. she didn’t really feel like going anywhere here but would accompany andreas if that was what he wanted. she strapped a few things to her body like she normally did for emergency such as knives and dagger. one never knew when they might come in handy.

moving over to the dressing table she sat down and put her makeup on, her usual black lip stick and white powder then walked over to the closet to see what had ben placed there for her. she looked through all the elegant dresses and picked one she liked fastening it on then made her way down to the reception area to wait for andreas.

Andreas sat back as a female waitress in a skimpy suit brought over his usual drink. she smiled down to him and placed it on the table grinning back at her as she left then turned to the performance taking place on stage. a magician making magic tricks but it wasn’t real magic and he soon got bored of that. sipping his martini he looked over at the slots thinking he might try his luck.

Andreas grinned to himself then turned to risa who seemed to be bored he wondered why, as he thought this a group of old acquaintances approached the table.

"Ahh, well if isnt count greed."

"How have you been old bean"

they were proper snobs with top hats and canes looking very prim and proper.

"Not bad. good to see you two again."

"And this must be the lovely risa."

one offered his hand to kiss hers and then sat down at the table.

"mind if we divulge in a game of cards."

andreas smiled this was what he had been waiting for.

"by all means"

he turned to risa seeing she was bored of the company.

"why don’t you perform for us a bit risa."

Andreas began his game with the two men and shuffled the deck placing his chips on the table then watched as risa began her performance. it was electrifying and many of the audience including his new companions at the table couldn’t take there eyes of her. he smiled, he had to agree there was something exciting about risa when she became this involved in her art, she seemed to lose all sense of reality and enjoy what she did so much. he had often wondered weather it was the thrill of danger or having something you were an expert at that made her so thrilled. he found out what it was thou, he didn’t understand it but he knew.

"Shall we continue?"

the two men looked back slightly embarrassed and nodded.

Andreas placed more chips on the table he was on a winning streak and it seemed his luck was up. Perhaps it was risas performance that was helping; it certainly was keeping the others distracted. He smiled at his hand and the chips that lay before him.

He loved this, especially when he was winning so badly.

"So my good friends shall we up the wager."

The two looked at each other worried but nodded in agreement.
