Āloka (Planet)

THE PETAL KINGDOMS

The Failing World Beyond Reisa

The world of Loka is arranged around the Sacred Sea in five great continental regions known as the Petal Kingdoms. Once bound together by divine presence and warm currents, the Petals now persist through trade, inertia, and fear of collapse.

Reisa is one Petal among five.
It is not the richest.
It is the most structurally necessary.

The other four Petals do not share mandalas, relic law, or Church doctrine. They interact with Reisa materially rather than spiritually. Their people pass through Reisa, work in it, and die in it, but they are never fully claimed by it.

REISA

The Mandala Kingdom

Reisa survives through ritual infrastructure, bureaucratic continuity, and extraction.

Exports

  • Iron and worked steel

  • Lead and reliquary casings

  • Soapstone, carved ritual goods

  • Furs, walrus ivory, amber rework

  • Timber and finished wood goods

Imports

  • Salt

  • Copper, tin, silver

  • Glassware

  • Fine textiles and spices

  • Limited preserved food

Reisa does not export abundance.
It exports stability, certification, and enforcement.

KETH MIRAL

The Agrarian Petal

A land of cold plains, worked valleys, and declining yields.

Exports to Reisa

  • Millstones and grindstones

  • Copper and tin ores

  • Wool, coarse textiles

  • Small quantities of wine and fermented drink

Keth Miral feeds Reisa only just enough to prevent collapse. Famine here is common. Migration outward is constant.

VELKARIS

The Transit Petal

A chain of cities, caravan routes, and coastal ports controlling movement rather than land.

Exports to Reisa

  • Salt (rock and evaporated)

  • Glassware, lenses, ritual vessels

  • Spices from southern routes

  • Caravan animals, tack, navigational goods

Velkaris does not grow strong. It stays relevant.

ZATH KORUM

The Authority Petal

A hierarchical realm of wealth concentration, formal power, and controlled luxury.

Exports to Reisa

  • Silver (coinage and ritual use)

  • Jewelry and prestige goods

  • Fine textiles and ceremonial cloth

  • Lead and rare metal alloys

Zath Korum sells legitimacy, not survival.

NASHTAH RIDAYAM

The Dead Petal

Destroyed during the Divine War. No longer sovereign.

Recovered Goods

  • Amber and fossil resins

  • Incense and aromatic compounds

  • Pre-Collapse wine and sealed goods

  • Obsolete jewelry and art objects

People from Nashtah Ridayam still exist. Their homeland does not.
