DND Campaign: Core 2 (Agricore)
Agricultural Core:
Core 2: The Agricultural Core – Laconia’s Verdant Sanctuary
"The harvest sustains the sword."
The Agricultural Core, known as Laconia’s Verdant Sanctuary, is the lifeblood of the ship, ensuring food security, resource sustainability, and environmental stability. It is vast beyond comprehension, appearing as a massive cylindrical world where rolling fields, cultivated farmland, and livestock roam beneath an artificial sun.
Unlike other cores, it does not wage war—but without its provisions, no soldier fights, no leader governs, and no civilization thrives.
Structure & Environment
✔ Cylindrical Design – Centripetal force produces gravity across miles of agricultural land, with rivers, forests, and cascading waterfalls shaping the terrain. ✔ Artificial Sun – A traveling light source mimics natural sunlight, ensuring consistent growth cycles. ✔ Pocket Dimensional Farming – Hidden expansions increase agricultural output, defying spatial limitations. ✔ Natural Worship – Some inhabitants revere the artificial sun, believing it grants divine favor over the harvest.
The Core is larger than it appears, possibly utilizing dimensional expansion technology, making it the most physically abundant zone in Laconia.
Culture & Ideology – The Harvester Ethos
Farmers, ranchers, and cultivators live by the Harvester Ethos, guiding their daily lives: ✔ Cultivation – Mastery over the land and its gifts. ✔ Community – Cooperation ensures abundance. ✔ Stewardship – Protection of soil, crops, and livestock is sacred. ✔ Growth – Innovation in agricultural techniques drives prosperity. ✔ Harmony – The needs of civilization and nature must remain balanced.
Their belief: Without food, Laconia starves. Without balance, it burns.
The People
✔ Farmers & Ranchers – Masters of cultivation and animal husbandry. ✔ Botanists & Geneticists – Innovators modifying crops for resilience. ✔ Terraformers – Environmental specialists ensuring climate stability. ✔ Resource Distributors – Overseers of food rationing and shipment logistics.
Their work determines Laconia’s survival—one failed harvest can doom an entire military campaign.
