Gemline
Gemline, City of Gods
Introduction
Gilded gates and platinum plates dazzle the eye, sparkling brightly enough to rival the sun. Spiralling towers accent the castles and mansions that line the streets, criss-crossed by fountains and quaint parks. Orchards of exotic fruit and crops are tended to by an array of Immortal and Demigod ergates and dinergates, who service the city and ensure its upkeep.
This is the City of Gods - hidden away from the view of mortals, dripping in decadence and luxury. Its status as a gilded cage is no secret - with the gods forbidden to convene with mortals, per ex-leader Narke's decree. They are kept hidden by the Quarantine Line, an enormous leyline of magic that shields the isle from prying boats or swimming Ants.
Turmoil reigns, though, with the unpopular Cogito deposing the previous leaders.
Main Members
Leader: Cogito
Gemline is not a true colony, and thus does not obey typical colony structure. Its populace generally align with their caste's job - ergate gods feel drawn to ergate work - but this is not from social expectations.
They have no allies or enemies, their location a secret. Once upon a time, Gemline collected offerings and sacrifices from the colonies, using these artifacts and gifts to accent the island's natural beauty. But with the advent of the gods' isolation, no one is allowed to leave.
Leadership is not easily transferred; Narke stepped down from the position, and Ihalas was voted out, replaced by Cogito. No one has moved against him yet, but their distaste is clear.

Gemline rests on a large island, pulled from the sea by magic eons ago. Several smaller islands dot the waters around it, though they are less civilized. Beyond that, ocean spreads for miles, stopped only by the Quarantine Line.
The main city bustles and glows, a glorious and beautiful symbol of godhood. Its riches are second to none, and all of a gods' wants are easily seen to by a small army of servants.
A shimmering, almost-transparent pink wall makes up the Quarantine Line, Sime's life work. It disorients mortals who approach it, finding themselves turned around and missing memories.
