New Dawn Island is an artificially created Island during the end of the power war. It served as the final battlefield to finally end the Power War. This fact alone is the reason there are tons of memorial parks and statues dedicated to remembering and honoring those who fell, and cultural remembrance. The island is split into five major cities with Domino City being the biggest.
New Dawn island is located in the between the East China Sea and the Philippine Sea, 330 miles( km) from the southernmost tip of Okinawa and 360 miles( Km) from the eastern most shore of Taiwan. It has a sub-tropical climate with gloriously long summers and mild winters.
The island also hosts an interesting topography with small mountain ranges, sheer cliffs on northern shores of the island and a patches of forests in some areas. The island doesn’t host any native wildlife, though it is visited by migratory birds, most animals on the island were those summoned via summoning magic. Because of this it’s not infrequent to see animals that do not belong in the island’s environment, like the Kodiak bear that has made the forest between Raven’s Crown City and Silver Shores it’s home.
GOVERNMENT
New Dawn Island was previously a Multinational Union and supported by the several countries of in the United Nations. Recently they’ve been fully recognized as their own sovereign nation and votes have passed to ratify New Dawn Island into its own country.
New Dawn Island has a democratic system, with a current interim prime minister and cabinet. New Dawn Island has several different trade relations with a few countries and host’s a lax immigration and border policy due to Trinity Academy’s status as an international school that allows student transfers from around the world.
Their biggest export are crystals of concentrated P.M.E. found in caves and underground all throughout the island. These crystals are used in hundreds of things including the civilian and government sectors.
New Dawn Island has no national standing army or defense force of their own. Previously they were given a defense stipend by the U.N. which the government used to buy defense contracts from Guild affiliated Private Military Companies. This arrangement still stands. Despite not having it’s own military, New Dawn Island does still have civil services such as police, emergency services, hospitals and other things in each of the cities. New Dawn Island’s police and emergency services are very similar in policy to Japanese and Korean police and emergency services.
LOCATIONS
Trinity Academy
Trinity Academy is the first and most prestigious powered learning school in the world. It hosts students from ages fourteen to nineteen and is dedicated to teaching enrollees how to master and hone their abilities to benefit society as a whole. The success of Trinity Academy’s first three years spawned the international program that lead to many more powered learning schools just like this one.
Trinity Academy though is still to this day, the school to try and attend as a powered youth.
Trinity Academy is located on an artificially created island that sits in the Domino city bay between the city borders of both Raven’s Crown City and Domino City. It has two large bridges that link it to both cities. The entire Campus is like it’s own personal city that has it’s own stores, entertainment, restaurants and dormitories along side the school facilities such as classrooms and physical education facilities. The entire Campus is set up to provide every need a student could have without them needing to leave the safety of the campus grounds.
Students are broken into five year groups, separated by age and distinguished by an enamel pin that is worn on the color of their uniform shirt. Year five is more an extended studies group with an age cap of 19, and meant to help those with unstable powers, or with job placement.
Year 1: Age 14 - 15
Year 2: Age 15 - 16
Year 3: Age 16 - 17
Year 4: Age 17 - 18
Year 5: Age 18 - 19
Domino City
is the biggest and busiest city on the island. Domino city is the only city on the island that’s labeled a super city. While it has a few parks and pedestrian areas the city itself doesn’t have much in the way of actual nature. Espers and Mundanes tend to populate this city much more than the other classifications. While there is a sizeable population of Akashics, the level of city development and lack of undeveloped land have had significant impacts on the amount of P.M.E. generated in the area and most Akashics tend to find this slightly unsettling.
Altered; especially Vanir, typically don’t live in this city due to the abundance of noise and pollution that wreaks havoc on their senses.
Despite the hard feelings towards the city when it comes to the opinions of a few classifications. They don’t tend to stay away from the city, and while most of the population is made of Espers and Mundanes, Domino City is a great place to visit for recreation and for work.

Raven’s Crown City
Raven’s Crown City is the fourth biggest city on the island. It was planned and designed in a way that is in harmony with nature and leylines on the island. Because of this the city has a lot of undeveloped land and natural parks. P.M.E. flows freely in this area and because of that it is a popular city for Akashics.
Altereds typically enjoy this city because it’s less cramped, busy, and loud than most of the other cities. Raven’s Crown City is often nicknamed Magic town because of the high population of Akashics who live and frequent the area, and the vast amounts of stores and shops geared towards Magic and Akashics.

Silver Shores
Marketed as the number one spot to visit for a beach vacation that will blow your mind, Silver Shores is a tourist city made up of several large barrier islands each with beaches and nature parks that are all connected via highways and trains. It is the ideal spot for spending some quality summer time fun. Every year the city also hosts festivals of all kinds and it’s a popular location for spring breakers who can afford it.

Rockport
The northern city of the island, Rockport isn’t your typical destination. They’re a large industrial city which serves as the import capitol of the island. That being said the City of Rockport boasts the biggest shipping yards along with numerous harbors and shipyards for repair and ship building. It’s a mostly quiet town surprisingly with enough to do to keep most visiting ship crews to do while they wait.

Ardent Peaks
Ardent peaks is the closest thing you’ll get to a normal, small mountain city. Located in the northeastern tip of the island there’s little super special about this place. Or at least it likes to try and appear that way. It hosts a sizeable population of Mundane individuals and has a good mix of residential, commercial, and business locations. During the day it’s a pleasant and relaxing city with parts and forest trails. At night is when it really comes alive and shows it’s true colors. It’s known by the younger residents of the Island as the party city. Having some of the best rated venues such as dance clubs, bars, karaoke, and all sorts of adult oriented entertainment venues and events. However, this is also where a lot of shady shit goes down with criminal organizations and gangs. The cops in the area turn a blind eye to it quiet often, it’s debated whether or not they’re paid off or if they’re simply trying to feign ignorance so the city doesn’t garner a poorer reputation.
Because of the danger of powered individuals often going missing or winding up dead in this city it’s not often visited by Powered Individuals. And if it is, usually they’re keeping their heads down and not outwardly displaying their powers so they can have a good time without having to constantly watch their backs.

SINGAPORE
Once a hub of free trade, arms trace, and easy recruitment of crews, Singapore had a vast history of piracy in the golden age of pirates. Since the founding of the International Mercenary Guild known as Outer Haven in 2005, Singapore has slowly over time embraced and fallen back into that history in a different way. When Outer Haven was first founded it stationed itself in Singapore and signed agreements and accords with the country in order to operate as the unified governing body for all things mercenary and mercenary adjacent. Over time the influence and relations between the Guild and Singapore itself are to such a degree that the two are unanimous with one another.
Singapore is the Mercenary Capitol of the world. All things mercenary or mercenary adjacent like hitmen, assassins, arms dealers, freelance mercenaries, liaisons between Guilds and companies, all of it is run out of Singapore. Because of this the country is heavily populated by foreigners now a days who are typically looking to get a foot into the door of the mercenary world, or are heavily entrenched in it. While this may look like a one sided deal, the government of Singapore makes massive amounts of money through their deals and accords with the Outer Haven Guild.
Like wise the economy of Singapore has boomed since this deal initially started due to the influx of mercenaries with extra cash to spend. The Guild also makes sure to enforce stringent laws and rules for it's members so that the national population of Singapore isn’t oppressed and are still able to maintain the same sovereignty and liberties as they had prior to the Guild making Singapore their base of operations.
