Bassis

Bassis (Bah-sees) is a town on N'Teri Prime, nearest to the schools of magic Bolaghis and Padathos. It is heavily influenced by magic allowing it to thrive on the planet, somewhat equating it to Hogsmeade. The village was created as a sanctuary for those who are not part of the schools of magic, sitting a comfortable distance between both magic schools, as well as the shared Chaosium, nicknamed 'Bolathos'. It was settled in Galactic Year 1674, by those migrating from Ixon in an effort to learn and practice magic.

Population

Bassis has a population of approximately 500 permanent and 2000 seasonal residents. Much like the other towns of N'Teri Prime, the economy is based around the continued development of the different academies. There exists small hotels, as well as restaurants, shopping, and different magical artifacts and totems used for beginning spellcasting. Located almost directly in the center of the schools, Bassis is the second most populous town on N'Teri Prime, after Feio, located outside of the academy of N'Teri Min.

When the Universities leave for holidays, Bassis becomes a smaller, but still important trade hub between the different settlements of N'Teri Prime.

Security

Like all settlements on N'Teri Prime, magic is not only allowed, but also encouraged. However, any destructive or suspicious magic will be met by Exhumers. Because of its location and demographics, Bassis has an additional concentration of two subgroups of Exhumers, the Thoughtbenders and the Chronomats. A serious violation of the magical safeguards in Bassis will be met with groups of Exhumers to the location, each of them ready to permanently remove the threat to safety.

The Exhumers only traverse the city limits, only venturing outside the town in order to deal with threats to the town itself. They make sharp decisions about magical combat outside of the town limits, usually preferring to leave those alone unless the town is involved.
