The '''Fondent region''' is a small coastal country in the [[The World]], dominated by mega-corporations, called Pillars. Of these, the most prominent and powerful is the news and entertainment media monopoly Omnichannel. It is the location of two proposed plots:
The '''Fondent region''' is a small coastal country in the [[world]], dominated by five mega-corporations, called Pillars. Of these, the most prominent and powerful is the news and entertainment media monopoly Omnichannel. It is the location of two proposed plots:


* [[The Spyder in the Cathedral]], where five Pillars are scheming together to take full control of the region.
* [[The Spyder in the Cathedral]]
* [[Qiangong2's plot]], where Omnichannel has total control and the other Pillars do not exist.
* [[Qiangong2's plot]]


== Name ==
== Cities and towns ==


The region is named after "fondant", the icing on wedding cake, and the "fundament" (the Heavens, referring to the Cathedral). The towns and cities in the region are named after [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wedding_anniversary#Traditional_and_modern_anniversary_gifts wedding anniversaries].
== Other locations ==


Other names proposed by Apollonius:
== Pillars ==


: Ancient names of the Nile: Fiaro, Iteru, Neilo, Shihor
Each Pillar sells a [[:Category:Badge]] which, when given to a monster, causes it to morph. The effect ends when the monster is treated at a Centre.
: Chinese-inspired: Jingdi, Jingsho, Jangjo, Tiensha (I can explain the meanings, if you like)
: Anagrams of “libre”: Lerbi, Lirbe, Berli, Birle

The original map was spread out.

== Town features ==
Ignibus morphs into Eruptibus (Shaft badge) or Embazook (Nimrod badge).


=== Scoop Stores ===
Dollfin morphs into Bigfin (Scoop badge) or Sharpfin (Nimrod badge).


These combination fast food and retail stores sell items, and will also heal your tuxemon - for a fee, or if you sit through an ad from one of their sponsors.
Botbot morphs into mRmOswitch (Greenwash badge), PiCC (Scoop badge), B-ver.1 (Shaft badge) or K9 (Omnichannel badge).


They offer other services that are slowly made redundant by Team Bazaar:
=== Greenwash (pillar) ===


* Banking
=== Omnichannel ===
* Renaming

* Contacts
* [[:Category:Badge|Badges]]
* Healing


=== Team Hideouts ===
[[Omnichannel HQ]] is in [[Cotton Town]].


In each city, [[Team Bazaar]], the hackers and free spirits, find hideouts where they can avoid the Pillars' scrutiny. They're a place for battle and healing, as well as scoring new open source apps that Team Bazaar programmers have developed.

Examples include:
=== Shaft (pillar) ===

* An abandoned [[Mansion]] they're squatting in
[[Shaft HQ]] is in [[Leather Town]].
* Cafes


'''Challenge Circles'''
[[Shaft Boss]]


Before each city or town's hideout will accept you and give you free healing, you have to defeat a bunch of them in battle.

'''Apps'''
[[Nimrod HQ]] is in [[Flower City]].

Healing in the Fondent region comes at a cost - initially we were thinking the player would have to sit through an in-game advertisement (for Greenwash Graze-X or Miaownolith Milk or something, not a real product). But another option would be to actually charge the player each time.  
[[Greenwash HQ]] is in ....  


The fee might be $1 per HP - or double that if there's a "call out fee" - i.e. if the player blacked out.
[[Greenwash Boss]]


Players could also buy private health insurance which might save them money - but it would come with a hefty cost both in terms of the fee and the excess. It would also have a long list of terms and conditions which the player could read - but which would take a while, and they'd keep getting prompted to quit reading.  
In [[The Spyder in the Cathedral]], Greenwash invented the [[Fusion Report]] which allows [[Fusions]].


=== Centre dialogue ===
== Other organisations ==
 
Would you like to heal your monsters?
 
All done. That will be $x dollars. [Or: Plus a $x call-out fee since we had to send the ambulance to collect you.]
 
Oh, you can't afford to pay? No problem. We'll add it to your bill, plus 10% interest. [Interest charged on all money owing not just new debt.]
 
When you win money, we'll take a share [50%] until you've paid us back. Easy peasy!
 
=== AMBEARANCE COVER - PRIVATE HEALTH INSURANCE OFFERING ===
 
After every few lines, the dialogue prompts: "There's X more pages. Keep reading? Y/N"
 
Private health insurance offering for one (1) person (hereafter, the "licence holder"), applying to up to fifty (50) monsters captured, traded, bought, won or otherwise possessed by the licence holder.

Ambearance Cover is available for all persons between 15 and 65 years of age. It pays medical costs for a licence holder's monsters at all approved hospitals, approved allied health facilities and approved vetinerarians and specialists (whether administered in their office or on-site).
 
For the avoidance of doubt, Ambearance Cover does not apply to:
 
* Treatment of a licence holder's own injuries, sickness, disease, disability, etc. or any other medical or health procedure relating to any human.

Licence holders may not capture, trade, buy, win or otherwise possess other humans for the purpose of them qualifying as "monsters" Humanoid "monsters" are eligible for healing only at Ambearance Cover's discretion.
 
Ambearance Cover is a progressive scheme that is charged in proportion to a licence holder's ability to pay. Ambearance Cover Ltd will receive the first 5% of all the licence holder's earnings from any source ("licence fee"). Ambearance Cover Ltd reserves the right to unilaterally modify this rate without notice if its deems that the policy has been "abused".
 
"Abuse" of the policy includes but is not limited to:
 
* Trading or otherwise receiving monsters for the exclusive, part or potential purpose of bringing them under the insurance policy of a licence holder.
* Waiting until multiple monsters need treatment before seeking healing in order to only pay the excess once.
 
A licence holder that fails to report, fails to accurately report, fails to pay or otherwise withholds any part of Ambearance Cover's licence fee will be liable for three times the amount withheld, plus 10% per month compounding weekly.
 
Excess is $100 in all cases. The excess can be modified at any time without consultation or the licence holder being informed ante facto or post facto.
