HeliconHelicon Helicon is a sparsely populated and remarkably flat land that, like Midya, acts as a breadbasket for the lands around it; Heliconians are not against industry per se, they simply do not want much of it in order to preserve their land's fertility. Crystal power is generally shunned in favor of windmills. The land's chief export other than topato and grains are Heliconian Twisters; the wide-open spaces and constant winds, as well as the general propensity to not use crytals, have allowed an interesting martial art to evolve - wing capes with collapsible poles can be used by expert practitioners to jump for tens of meters against the wind and hundreds of meters with it, often with terminal results for anyone in their path. Land Helicon is traversed by a "monorail" (actually a pair of giant wood handrails) at right angle to the prevailing wind that kite-pulled carts and wagons can hitch themselves to. Heliconians are also known for being good mathematicians and Heliconian expats usually take well to psionics. Heliconian moonshine can be used as booster fuel, but only because they are a bit more conscentious about it than Midyans are. (Stereotype: Rockies / US Coasts.) |
