The rest of the memories

The rest of the memories were less important information, but still useful to know. The kingdoms were similar to the continents on earth, except that there was only one ruler who is the imperial family.

The current year on Blue Star was the year 5,000 more precisely on November 05 when Luna's memories stop. The year 0 begins at the end of an emperor who conquered all the kingdoms and established the common date. It makes people's lives easier and not mixed by communicating with the different troops during the war. Since then, it has been kept while showing its importance in all areas.

On Blue Star gender equality is a normality, with the increase in the human body the disparity between the two was minimal. There are as many female soldiers as male soldiers, but men are more brutal than women. There have also been empires where the woman is the ruler. The heir has this position is the firstborn, if he is able to lead, otherwise it is the second born who comes into play. If none of them is able to lead or has not had children, it is the person who has the closest relationship to the current leader.

On the street, there is very little crime. No one is weak, even if there are differences in level, like a citizen and a soldier. There are still gangs, but unless you are well organized and have mages, warriors or magus it does not last long.

Arranged marriages are also present on Blue Star, as on earth, it is impossible not to have them in high society. Marriage is the surest way to form alliances, it exists for both women and men. Even in the rest of the population, marriages are mostly decided by parents. Families with no great means do not have a huge choice, no parent wants to see their children live in misery.

The economy is mainly based on war, agriculture, hunting and construction. The currency is called orbs, an average family earns about 100 every month. It is a decent salary to be able to eat meat 3 times a week and be able to build a small house, saving in line for years. It is also necessary to pay a certain percentage of annual tax according to the kingdom, that of the North it is 15% for example. Orbs have only integers to facilitate access and understanding to the greatest number. The most common units are 1, 2, 5, 10, 20 as well as the rarest are 50, 100, 200, 500 and reserves for the greatest powers unique units of 1,000, 2,000 and 5,000.

They are differentiated according to their markings, sizes, colors and materials.

The common units are 5 centimeters in diameter, red thanks to copper and bronze alloys as well as other base metals, and they have a number according to one of the values on them.

Rare units have the same marking system as common units, but they have a diameter of 7 centimeters, an alloy of copper and nickel which gives a silver color.

Unique units have the same marking system as other units, they have a different size and shape depending on their value, the material that composes it is gold. For a value of 1,000, it is a piece of 5 centimeters in diameter. A value of 2,000, it is also a piece, but with a diameter of 7 centimeters. And for a value of 5,000 and more, it is an ingot more or less large in proportion to the value of it. Knowing that a piece of 1,000 has a weight of 3 g, one of 2,000 is equal to 6 g and that of 5,000 is 10 g.

The rest is about Luna's private life, such as where she lives with her family and her personal relationships.

She lives right in the center of the capital Nord City, in a kind of mix between a castle and an imperial palace. It resembles the castle of Chambord as well as the palace of Compiègne, its size was a dozen football stadiums, counting only the building. In addition to the imperial palace, there were gardens all around the palace of a size 2 to 3 times larger than the palace itself. Around the gardens, a wall was erected without leaving a single hole. The wall also has towers scattered at all angles and in the center of each straight line. There was only one main entrance that was in the middle of the wall, which was facing the main gate of the palace, but spaced by the gardens that formed a road connecting the 2 gates.

The imperial palace is so large, that it is impossible to live in all the rooms. Only the very important rooms were inhabited daily by Luna's family, the rest is for storage or for the servants who take care of the palace and the imperial family.

The living rooms were furnished with the same objects as normal families, but with things that cost a fortune as well as a huge amount of priceless decoration. The dining room contained a table made with marble and was of an unreasonable size, the fireplaces that serve to heat the room were also made of pure marble with above portraits of the imperial family in gigantic size.

The living room was in the same style, but instead of the table, there were armchairs and sofas made with the finest materials to ensure the prestige and comfort of the impressive.

The bedrooms also have their lots of marble fireplaces to ensure constant warmth, just like the other rooms. She was equipping everything with supplies of the highest quality, and with inconceivable sizes, the beds can accommodate a dozen people easily. Each bedroom had a bathroom and a room that serves as a dressing room, while being the same size as the bedroom.

When Luna compares with the apartment of her 'dream', it was so small that even the bed couldn't fit in.
