Indefinite Color

The Season of Indefinite Color

Also known under the titles: the Chromafey Season, the Season of the Unbound Rainbow, the Color Season, or simply Indefinite Color. It is a magical, mystical, and fantastical place, primarily inhabited by the Switterlind, a species of butterfly-like fey. It is a realm of fantasy and wonder, with spectacular lands and scenery. A wonderful array of creatures and plants can be found within.

Twisted Geometry

It is impossible to create a map of the land of the Chromafey Season, as the geometry is unorthodox, and the environment is constantly shifting. The geography can loop and twist in seemingly impossible ways. The land may even shift over time. It is therefore very easy to get lost within the Chromafey Season.

Rainbow Corridor

Rainbow Corridors are large magical gateways that connect the land of Indefinite Color. Their entrances can come in all possible forms: a giant archway, a deep well, a ray of sparkling light. Often special conditions need to be met to enter the Rainbow Corridor. Many widely known Corridors are monitored and require a payment of some kind to traverse.

Government

The Chromafey Season is ruled by an oligarchy called the Court of Indefinite Color. Also known under the titles: the Chromafey Court, the Court of the Unbound Rainbow, or the Color Court. It is an elitist institution, mostly consisting of individuals of the highest of classes. It is led by Raigen, the Origin of Rainbow, a powerful Archfey with enormous rainbow-colored wings.

Domains

The Chromafey Season is divided into a collection of Domains, each ruled by a so-called Dominant, which can both be a sole individual or a group. The Dominant answers to the Color Court, but generally has great liberty to do with their domain as they please. The borders of a Domain may shift over time, or even occasionally overlap with a different Domain.

Provinces

The Chromafey Season is divided into a collection of Provinces, generally smaller than Domains, each ruled by a Provost, which can both be a sole individual or a group. The Provost answers to the Color Court, and often also to the Domain they are a part of. While Domains are more fluent, Provinces are often more clearly defined. Because of the shifting nature of Domains, their rule over a Province sometimes changes hands, and some Provinces might be part of multiple Domains.

Classes

The denizens of the Chromafey Season, called Chromafey, are heavily divided into classes of wealth. They or often broadly classified into 5 categories.

Peasantry

4 out of 5 Chromafey are Peasents. They are often servants or even slaves, being treated as more of a resource than an individual. Their living conditions are harsh. They do not hold positions of power.

Civility

1 out of 5 Chromafey is a Civilian. They are what in other nations might be called the middle class. They generally possess agency and ownership over their own lives, able to afford modest amounts of luxury. They often earn their living through independent work or under contract from a noble. It is still rather rare for a Civilian to hold any grand position of power.

Nobility

1 out of 100 Chromafey is a Noble. They are the rich upper class of Indefinite Color. They are often owners of businesses employing Civilians or Peasants. Their status often gives them access to privileged options. This can be places of residence, membership in clubs, positions of political power, and generally more agency within the system.

Royalty

1 out of 10’000 Chromafey is a Royal. They are the ones pulling the major strings of the system, often having an array of subordinate nobles to help do so. Roles of Provosts or Dominants are often taken by Royals.

Divinity

Only a select few Chromafey can be classified as a Divine. They are powerful beings able to shape the world. A Divine is often a Dominant or takes in some other position of great significance.
