Alephia

A mystical city out in the middle of a plane where the rules of gravity don’t apply. No one knows exactly how old the giant disk around which the city is built is. It’s fair to say it is as old as recorded history itself. Just as mysterious as the gravitational anomaly, are the strange symbols that spontaneously appear on the surface of the disk.

For as long as the Abjadis can remember,a brotherhood of monks has turned this giant artifact into the training ground for their order. The few non initiated that have allowed to interact with them have pretty  much all said the same thing. The monks are a peaceful order, who have decided to shift focus, from the outward to the inward, and have through the mastery of humming into their ribcage been able to levitate by tuning into the giant disc’s resonant frequency.

Only a handful of non-initiates have ever managed to do the same, albeit not as elegantly as the monks.

Recently has fallen pray to a group of merciless horde, the Mawajidoon, organized as an army and have been one by one killing off the monks. It has been reported that in protest, in an effort to raise awareness of the city states to intervene in their sad fate, the monks who have escaped the cruelty of the Mawajidoon, are publicly taking their lives.
