Magiasacra
Magiasacra is a very high magic domain, with a whopping Realm Magic Rating of 6, and is very technologically advanced to boot as it is CuL 9. This domain practically breathes magic and spellcasters seem to be in heaven here. It is a good sized island with a big city of 75,000 inhabitants in it. It is populated by a mixture of elevs, humans and half-elves mainly. It is very cosmopolitan and race based OR for common races such as elves, dwarves, and gnomes are ignored. Uncommon races have theirs reduced by 2. The city itself is very rich and the prices here are 2.5 x normal. The wealth is shown in the attire and housing of the inhabitants. Even the poorest wear clothes of average quality and it goes up from there. The poorest inns have the accommodations of middle class inns and it goes up from there as well.
The city guard is made up of mid- to high-level fighters in chain mail to full plate with battle axes carrying shields ranging from small to tower and four throwing axes.Their weapons, armor and shields are always magical. They also all have belts of strength and amulets of health. Nearly all of them are former members of King Armaud’s pillaging army. Due to their well-earned incorruptible reputation, they can count on the other citizens for back up if need be when arresting someone.
The city also has lots of temples dedicated to the various gods of magic and psionics throughout the multiverse - pretty much everyone from Mystra to Vecna. If the god or goddess is of magic, chances are he or she has a temple here. The temples themselves are huge as they all have research libraries and laboratories. Mystic Theurges are very common here as almost all mid or high level priests and priestesses are such. You can't advance far in the church hierarchy without know at least some arcane magic.
There are a number of medium-sized libraries, which cost 1 gp per day to visit, and specialize in every type of knowledge except spells themselves. The huge central library, which is about the size of the New York City Central Library, has books on every knowledge and craft skill in any of the books. You can have the books copied for you at the cost of the bonus to the skill squared x400 GP. Even the central library doesn’t have information on actual spells themselves. Spellcraft certainly, but not particulars of individual spells, as they aren’t allowed to cut into the magic selling business. As such they are clearly the best educated inhabitants of The Mists.
There are a number of magic shops that specialize in various types of magic selling at twice the normal cost and there is also Barnaby’s which is a sort of centralized super magic shop that sells at 2.25x normal price but has everything. It is the size of a typical block in downtown Chicago and four stories high. It has every item in any of the books barring artifacts, relics, and other unique items. They are also willing to make custom items at 3x normal cost.
Non-spellcasters are looked down upon, since almost all of the natives are spellcasters, blessed by the gods of magic and have a +6 to intelligence and a +4 to Charisma and Wisdom.They see non-spellcasters as barbarous cretins.They are likely to be treated as dim-witted children more than anything else.
Of the spellcasters, druids have the least prestige; they are considered rustic hicks that know nothing about scholarship. The only way for a druid to get a decent amount of respect is to set up an outdoor research center of some sort.
