New Octavia Was founded by players Cybersquid04 and Nothingatalll on May 26 of 2022. Located in the New Teschen province of Viadoxia, Octavia was formed after both players we forced out of the Kingdom of Dande after their integration with the Horde. After the founders short stay in Maxstadt of Northern Esienland they moved to the location that would later been New Octavia after being tasked with building an Exp Farm for the Kaiser.

Architecture
New Octavia has two major sections each with it's own building style, Referred to as Up town and under town by the locals both sections are connected by a massive spiral staircase that goes from the surface to a large underground cave system. Undertown mainly consists of Victorian brick style buildings with deepslate instead of red bricks due to the Octavians cultural attachment to deepslate. Up Town on the other hand is a modern city build complete with skyscrapers, roads and sidewalks purposely made to break Stonework's role play and to piss of the admins of the server.

The Octavian People
The Race of people that live in the Undertown of New Octavia are known as the Octavians. Octavians are a precursor race of Humans and elfs that originated from deep caves that went under bedrock Known as the Undervoid. Due to their past environments Octavians are not well suited to life above ground as they are extremely susceptible to skin cancer or as it is called by the Octavians "Sun Sickness". Octavians are can be told apart from other races by their distinct pale gray skin and tall heights. Octavians are separated into 2 sub races, Prime Octavians and Omega Octavians. Prime Octavians are usually taller, slimmer and more intelligent than their Omega cousins, usually being six feet 5 inches tall for males and six feet 3 inches for females. Omega Octavians on the other hand are shorter, more muscular, and less intelligent ranging at about six foot one for both males and females. Interbreeding among both sub races is uncommon yet possible. Omega Octavians unlike most races in Rathnir are not sexual dimorphites meaning both males and females look the same at a first glance. It is not uncommon to mistake female Omega Octavians for males as they share all the same features and even are treated the same as all Omega Octavians regardless of gender are expected to do hard labor for their colony.

Non Octavain Refugees
The Up town section of New Octavia is home to refugees of other nations that have no where else to go. Some defectors of nations like The Great White Isles stay in New Octavia for safety.

Resonator Crystals
New Octavia's Under town is the only place on rathnir to get Resonator Crystals as they are specially grown in the labs by Prime Octavians. Resonator Crystals are the heart of all Octavian technology as they can turn sound into electrical energy as well as having a number of other effects. Octavians use Resonator Crystals in swords, crossbows, brews, power stations, radio amplifiers for their news show (Last Week On Rathnir). and even mechanized guards known as Life Mechs

Life Mechs
Life mechs are humanoid mechanical machines powered by Resonator Crystals that act as a new body for deceased Octavians. Life Mechs are mainly used to allow Omega Octavians to continue to provide labor after death to the colony in times of need.

The 8 Energies Of Octavia
In the Octavian Faith the world consists of 8 Energies 4 of those being positive (Heat, Light, Sound, and Life) and 4 negative (Cold, Dark, Silence, and Death). Octavians are known to add charms consisting of materials related to different elements to their swords, armor, and hair to help imbue it with a certain element.
