What is Cidri?

This isn't quite true. "Fragments of super-science" is right there in sentence two of the ItL Introduction.

Science and Super-Science are identical cousins...

For my own version of Cidri, I tried to embrace the dichotomy of the default 'sci-fi meets fantasy' premise found in ITL. In my game, there is a clear difference between Mnoren super-science (waning) and magic (waxing) at a meta-plot level, though admittedly, the average inhabitant of Cidri and most player characters will never see it.

As I have posted previously in this forum, I wanted to give Cidri itself a clear purpose beyond simply being the place where the characters live. This purpose, then, will drive key aspects of the campaign's narrative. The diversity of lifeforms, the nature of magic, the threat of demons and the undead, and the legacy of the Mnoren are all tied up in the 'intelligent design' of the artificial planetary construct known as Cidri.
