About

In this world, there is no land. Land is but a dream. There are five massive living creatures called Trixsto in this world. Each Trixsto hosts humans, and upon them, nations exist. The open sea, away from the Trixsto, is dangerous. It is home to perilous marine life. However, Trixsto are not creatures tamed by humans. They are not beings that have made contracts with humans, nor are they protectors of humanity. It is simply that a long time ago, they once felt gratitude toward the tiny lives living on their backs and released abstract concepts like time and emotion into the world. Since then, humans have continued to build cities and live on the backs of the Trixsto. The Trixsto do not pay them any particular mind. Because Trixsto provide bravery, sensation, and touch, humans maintain them. They remove parasites, clean them, feed them, and so on. Attacking a Trixsto is taboo in every nation. Trixsto have strong kinship; if one recklessly attacks another nation's Trixsto, their own Trixsto will dive underwater as a sign to flee, and the victim's Trixsto will also submerge. Then, everyone dies. Size of a Trixsto Length: 5,000km Width: 2,000km Height above sea level: 10–30km Total height: 50–100km Trixsto resemble whales. They are flat on top and convex on the bottom. Movement between Trixsto does not occur except during war, and travel within a single nation on a Trixsto is done via Wortis. Wortis is a public transport made using the abundant water. Its speed is so fast it is practically teleportation. Each sea has its own climate. North Sea — A cold sea with much ice and many storms. South Sea — Warm, with frequent massive rainstorms. East Sea — A sea with much fog and calm currents. West Sea — Characterized by rough waves and strong tides. Great Sea — The endless central waters connecting the five seas, and the most dangerous. Trixsto move continuously in a clockwise direction, which creates the 'seasons.' However, no Trixsto moves into the Great Sea. Sitel Trixsto: The back is very flat, so large cities have developed. Royre Trixsto: The spine is high, resulting in many mountainous nations. Pikro Trixsto: There are many skin fissures, leading to developed canyons and rivers. Tenada Trixsto: Warm steam rises from the body, creating a tropical climate. Gren Trixsto: The body is the hardest and rich in minerals. (The nations are Sitel, Royre, Pikro, Tenada, and Gren) Traveling to two or more Trixsto is nearly impossible. Currently, the only way to go from one Trixsto to another is through war. Therefore, Trixsto maps in each nation only show their own Trixsto.
