	~~== Technology ==~~
	~~+This is really mayordomogoliat ‘s area of expertise, so I’m just compiling what I know! You may want to read (this) and (this) before continuing onto this section.~~

	+ According to asianpankake, the technology industry of CA is located all over the state but is centered around the Bay Area (Silicon Valley) or LA, aka disaster zones. This means that most tech-tech has gone underwater, even the most experimental of magic-tech melds, such as the possibility of binding magic to metals.

	+So MagiOrb/Magiorb/Magicore (I like capitalizing things): Basically, from word of god (mayordomogoliat), it is a “new school of magic more readily available to the general populace based on a sphere covered in geometric shapes that mimicked the Earth’s leylines and worked by programming spells into the machine via computer and powering it with some magical type of battery.”

	+The MagiOrb 1.0 was opensource so tons of people have it/have knowledge on how to make it, so probably the MagiOrb 1.0 becomes the new, better way to do magic-tech when you don’t necessarily have access to all the ritualistic ingredients that the analogue way requires.

	+Basically the MagiOrb 1.0 becomes super insanely popular across the islands, even if it is a bit bulky and non-mobile. In fact, the development of the MagiOrb is a bit different for each of the islands, taking into consideration different population demographics/dynamics and access to resources.

	+ESPECIALLY as people figure out how to run laptops on magical energy. It kind of screws with the monitor and shows funny colors, but if you’re just trying to power a MagiOrb through the laptop, then what does color matter?

	~~+However, the creator of the MagiOrb (Mercury/Iris) dies in the disaster, and with them a lot of awesome plans and everything.~~

	+But here’s the thing: somebody survived, some kid with a fascination with the MagiOrb and MagiTech, some curious old geezer with a bit too much time on his hands and a streak of luck to boot, several somebodies on different islands, and their innovative minds managed to pull something out of the MagiOrb 1.0s and create something great with it.

	+Now there were already MagiOrb 2.0 prototypes floating around, which was meant to be more portable version, more streamlined: the commercial version, so to speak. More power, easily configured, probably more memory, easy to replace magical battery, etc. Primarily, they were a means to earn the creator a bit of cash money.

	+Very few of these existed in the first place, so they’re less than rare after the disaster. But the islands that have them? They’re leaps and bounds ahead of the rest for a while, especially if they have one of those innovative souls buggering with them.

	+Within decades, the MagiOrb 2.0 prototypes have been altered and improved, and their tinkerers left with a greater understanding of the MagiTech behind them. This information was applied to other projects, and the MagiTech line was widened in scope.

	+Also, magical batteries: during the disaster, they’re pretty much recharged beyond anything anybody could have thought them to withstand, and some that are close enough are bound together and supercharged, collectively forming a giant energy core of magical energy, forming the center of a civilization for at least one of the islands.

	+They never really get back to mundane tech. Maybe some, sure (esp. on college campuses), but it’s not as big a thing. More and more the way these islands are going is a fusion of magic and technology.

	~~+Centuries later, even just decades later, the LA and San Francisco areas become the grounds for the next Gold Rush.~~

	+Explorers and Thrill-seekers cause an increase in scuba-diving and deep-sea-diving classes and certificates, and they risk their lives to come back with some underwater relic, which may be completely mundane or perhaps might be charged with supernatural energies.

	+San Fran especially is the forbidden jewel of treasure hunters; being in one of the worst, most dangerous areas of the region, it’s a place not only for study but also for thrill-seekers to find their thrill, and also possibly more artifacts.

	+These artifacts tend to be more…haunted, so to speak, or demonically charged than others. And more dangerous: for example, some items that have natural holes in them or had holes during the disaster that are charged with this demonic energy have the possibility of allowing a person to see the mindscape through that hole? Or to see the supernatural, if the mindscape is too much of a stretch.

	~~+The US might try to salvage tech off its shores and~~ in ~~the~~ California ~~region, but once the islands get some kind of political pull that’s stopping real fast, especially if they’re autonomous~~. They might continue to pull stuff off the New California shoreline, but beyond that their hands are tied, and who wants to piss off a bunch of tiny nations that have more magical power and knowledge than your entire continent?

	Supernatural Aid and the Red Cross assisted Californian residents directly after the event with donations of food, clothing, clean water, and temporary shelter. The closest and most accessible islands received help, and the farther islands were deemed unsafe and not breached.

	Some citizens made it back to the US mainland, where they were granted financial leniency on housing, hotel stays, and job ~~oppurtunities~~. Other groups remained on the islands, and eventually formed the [[Californian Island Federation]].

	Many foreign celebrities, businessmen, tourists, and diplomats were killed in the disaster. Because of California's position as a hub of international travel and multi-cultural communities, April 29th was a globally observed day of ~~rememberance~~. A memorial is built in a surviving California city. <ref>gawain_in_green. "124,583,217" (2020).

	In response to the demons themselves, international governments attempted to make contact with both of them. Milchiresa's summons went unanswered, and Alcor refused to appear but made his presence known by ripping apart their binding circles within seconds and destroying the surrounding area. Many governments blacklisted information on both, hoping to prevent more summonings, despite the evidence pointing to Milchiresa being destroyed.

	The islands left over from the disaster were declared a non-state by the USA, and the remaining ~~coasline~~ was redefined as the border for [[New California]]. East Asian countries interested in new territory, New Zealand, and Australia attempted make contact with the islands but failed due to the magically-concentrated waters.

	Decades later, LA, San Francisco, and the surrounding areas became a ~~hotspot~~ for thrill-seekers. People went diving in the wreckage to bring back artifacts or just see the ruins. Some of the artifacts brought back were completely mundane objects, but others were found to be infused with leftover magic. Some of them were even dangerous; objects with holes in them tended to allow viewers to see the Mindscape, or see [[Aura\|auras]] that they wouldn't otherwise be able to see.

	The geography resulting from the fight was widely varied. Floating islands, debris islands, and underwater cities became a part of the area. Underwater cities are not inhabited by humans and sometimes not inhabited at all (due to the lingering negative emotions of the deceased), but are home to both mundane and magical plants and animals. Over time, many islands worked together to create a system of levees to increase accessible land.		The geography resulting from the fight was widely varied.

	The waters around the California area were infused with magic and demonic energy for generations. The magic concentration lead to some areas with strange weather, gravitational anomalies like those seen in Gravity Falls, and warped laws of physics.

	+Culture is, after all, dependent on people and their traditional values, their upbringing, and people of different nationalities are going to have different upbringings.

	+Also to be taken into consideration is the cultures of supernatural beings, also stranded on these islands. Selkies, Dryads, Satyrs, Crab People, Gnomes, etc. Some islands will get along with these beings better than others, and that will also influence/be influenced by the underlying political thoughts of the majority of the people on that particular island.		+Also to be taken into consideration is the cultures of supernatural beings, also stranded on these islands.

	+Political views change from island to island, but many closer to the new coastline are pro-nats (the fact that a demon caused all this destruction is kind of a supporting argument they use), whereas those further away tend to be more liberal.		+Political views change from island to island, but many closer to the new coastline are [[Pro-nat\|pro-nats]] (the fact that a demon caused all this destruction is kind of a supporting argument they use), whereas those further away tend to be more liberal.

	+Remember that the islands get smaller as you get further from the coast: As asianpankake said, “The Bay Area is probably the most wrecked, and a huge percentage of the liberal, supernatural-friendly population is lost.”		+Remember that the islands get smaller as you get further from the coast: As asianpankake said, “The Bay Area is probably the most wrecked, and a huge percentage of the liberal, supernatural-friendly population is lost.”
