Travellers' Information
Currency: Nephelonean Cloud.
*Exchange rate to Crons: 1.332 Clouds = 1 Cron
Is the police force able to assist tourists? Yes. Help may also be requested of Civilian Intelligence and Surveillance agents (they carry brass mirror masks and a variety of writing utensils; do not impede their work).
How does a police force member look like? While the uniform varies depending on the District, Commonwealth Safety officers must carry the Law Enforcement and Community Service Identification. All of them must also carry their identification seal number visible at all times.
In case of emergency, what is/are the emergency calling number/s? Telephones have not yet been invented, but Word Seals are in place in most District capitals and large cities; these Seals will allow a citizen or visitor calling the words a rapid transit to a safe location (usually, a local Commissariat). Visitors are encouraged to remain completely still while pronouncing the Words for safety reasons.
Are any laws that threatens or being odd to travellers? Weapons must be deposited at city entrances and / or border tolls. Criminals may be expelled temporarily or permanently. Expelled individuals may be arrested on entry and expelled again. Trafficking of illegal items is grounds for arrest and immediate deportation or local incarceration.
Any other information you like to share? This country is evidently magical. Large swathes of countryside, rural areas and most of the wild provinces away from the largest centers of population are teeming with monsters and horrible freaks of esoteric nature, and are thus areas of restricted travel. Also, since the entire nation is essentially a bunch of floating islands of varying size, expect horrid consequences if you leave town for the closest Edge. That's right. The words Edge and Fall are capitalized in Nephelon. Have a nice day.
