-Centralia island exists in the center of a large grouping of islands called the Rhine Archipelago. The Archipelago is large and has mostly been explored at one time or another. The people of Centralia, however, were not great cartographers and anything not immediately of value or entertainment was unfortunately overlooked and forgotten. Thus, many islands and locales may be hidden in the waters, places of untold adventure...+[[settings:jaern:therhine:centralia|Centralia Island]] exists in the center of the Rhine, and exerts political control over much of the archipelago - though some islands and cities remain independent states.

-The predominant language of Rhine seems to be Ferric. In most cities Ferric may be the only language spoken. On Centralia island, it is becoming increasingly likely to run into someone who speaks Paroli, caused by the influence of southern trading companies and the influx of refugees after the Seige of Karfelon. Other islands have a mix of different languages depending on their populace. There are many lizard settlements that speak a mix of Sel'ict and Paroli, especially in the reefs and atolls of the Rhine.+The predominant language of Rhine is Ferric.

-The Knights of Neptune was founded by Akvo’ka, the Ekvilibri of Helmrest's Natatorium, and a couple of their crew in the 10050's. It began as a small regiment of 3 ships, but quickly became known as folk heroes after saving a colony ship from a group of ruthless pirates. For the next 20 years, they’ve gained more in repute around the southwestern Rhine but are still limited to a handful of ships, crewed by firm believers in helping the common sailor and protecting the seas of Neptune. Recently, the movement has been gathering followers and equipment, and now has about 2 maraujos, 2 metioujos, and 4 kurujos, as well as a small number of patrolling attack ships. Their main focus is on protecting those who cannot protect themselves, or afford to hire the expensive services of the Stormfin Sharks.+The Knights of Neptune was founded by Akvo’ka, the Ekvilibri of Helmrest's Natatorium, and a couple of their crew in the 2520's.
