Name: Exodus.

Name Meaning: Promised Land schtick from the Bible.

Location: On an island south of Sanus named Eclipse. It is not part of any Kingdom.

Layout: A small city. The outside is surrounded by 70 feet high electric walls.

History: During the height of Faunus discrimination, Hundreds of Faunus abandoned their respective kingdoms of Mistral and Atlas. For months, they traveled by sea, hopping from island to island, before finally being marooned on the island of Eclipse after being swept in a particularly nasty sea storm. It was certainly hard for them, having to deal with the near-frequent sunshowers, the poisonous plants and wildlife, volcanic activity, and the dangerous Grimm unique to the island, but they thrived and prospered into the town now called Exodus.

One day, colonists from Vale came to the island, with the goal to mine the overflowing amounts of Dust beneath the surface. At first, the Faunus of Exodus welcomed them with open arms, but things soon turned ugly as the Vale soldiers raided the town, and killed many Faunus civilians. Soon, invading forces from Mistral and Mantle came to Eclipse, also hearing about the abundance in Dust. The three Kingdoms waged war on their island, but it was ultimately Mistral and Mantle who won.

For years, the town of Exodus was under Mistral’s control. The Faunus were kept as slaves, the land was industrialized and polluted as Dust was mined from the earth. Fortunately, however, a horse Faunus named Perseus led a rebellion against the interloping Mistralians. It was long and hard, but after a seemingly endless struggle, Mantle and Mistral finally withdrew from the island, knowing they could not crush the spirits of the Exodus people. Perseus was elected as the town’s mayor, and he decreed that from this day, no human shall ever set foot on Eclipse.

And so, the town flourished into a city. The pollutants left behind by the occupying Kingdoms were torn down, and Exodus is now run by a monarchy directly descended from the hero Perseus.

Community: Despite all their hardships, the Eclipsian Faunus had always banded together and thrived despite it. They are very harmonious with eachother. Unfortunately, they are very unwelcoming to humans, and will use deadly force to keep them out of the city.

The White Fang has constantly tried to get supporters from Exodus, but received very little, since they want nothing to do with humans.

Government: Exodus is run by a monarchy descended from Perseus, the Faunus hero who led the rebellion against Mistral and Mantle. The monarchs are usually benevolent, but there have been a few...oppressive rulers.

Inspiration: Partially inspired from Hawaii.
