| Neo Mukai is a Mundania-class realm that first connected to the Dreaming in its previous guise as Mukai during the late Dreamwalker Empire era. The cataclysmic event that caused the realm to begin collapsing was the expansion of the realm's sun as caused by a feedback loop created between the presence of [[Orion]], [[Primordial]] Spirit of Plasma in the realm and preexisting sun worship practiced there. As all attempts to prevent the sun from cooking and then consuming the planet failed, old order Dreamwalkers worked with leaders of the realm to create a domed world-city known as Mukai City (or the City of Light) in an attempt to instead protect a specific area and its inhabitants from the deadly radiation and other ill effects of the sun. Their efforts would have failed, and the realm would have died, if Orion had not sacrificed himself to reverse the sun's expansion. | Neo Mukai is a Mundania-class realm that first connected to the Dreaming in its previous guise as Mukai during the late Dreamwalker Empire era.

| Unfortunately, as the presence of the four [[Mantlemourne]] Primordials was not public knowledge at the time, it was assumed that the dome plan had worked and that the outside was rendered permanently and perpetually uninhabitable. The bulk of the residents of Mukai City would remain inside of the dome for the next 487 years operating under this assumption, while survivors outside of the dome rebuilt their own society under the auspices of [[Atlas]], Primordial Spirit of Solid. The other two Primordials residing in the realm, [[Rusalka]] and [[Nimbus]], would both eventually abandon the people of the outside in favor of their own agendas: Nimbus wished to rid the realm of one of the [[Architect]]'s machines, where Rusalka wished to destroy the dome-dwelling Mukaijin in their entirety. Rusalka's campaign against the dome-dwellers in her guise as [[Vector Prime]] during the [[Centennial Scourge]] would result in the death of almost all of the realm's Dreamwalkers who had remained in Neo Mukai, along with the extinction of almost all non-human or fungal-based life inside of the dome. It would also cement the power held by a series of mega-corporations who conspired to hide the existence of the outside world from the dome's inhabitants, and who would ultimately gain control of every aspect of life in the dome. | Unfortunately, as the presence of the four [[Mantlemourne Primordials]] was not public knowledge at the time, it was assumed that the dome plan had worked and that the outside was rendered permanently and perpetually uninhabitable.

| Presently, the societies inside and outside of the dome are on the verge of war, both civil and otherwise. Decisions made by the Mukaijin Dreamwalkers in an attempt to prevent their death at the hands of a now-corrupted Rusalka massively destabilized the elemental balance outside the dome, and were seen as an act of war by Atlas in his position as God-King of the Anikami. This was arguably merely the straw that broke the camel's back, as X-999 had been exploiting the natural resources outside the dome for centuries at this point, and the understanding of the Anikami regarding the dome and its inhabitants were that they were fully aware of the outside world, and that the dome-dwellers chose to stay inside out of malice towards the Anikami. Inside the dome, civil unrest is coming to a fever pitch, and moves being made by the corporations, the Mora, and the Dreamwalkers threaten to turn that unrest into all-out mayhem. | Presently, the societies inside and outside of the dome are on the verge of war, both civil and otherwise.

| A note on the above map: the grey, central-ish area north of Recyk-All and north-west of Triple 9 is what is known as the AAZ, the Autonomous Anarchic Zone, which is generally considered to be the bane of everyone’s corporate existence, and the Mora’s primary stronghold. There was a Dynasol raid there a month or two ago, which failed super hard, because of course it did. Trying to get into and gain control of the AAZ as an organized military group is a clown activity, and apparently everyone knows it except for whoever runs Dynasol these days. -Kage0nna | A note on the above map: the grey, central-ish area north of Recyk-All and north-west of Triple 9 is what is known as the Corporate Commons, which is where anyone who isn't outright part of a megacorp is working. Many of these companies are either subsidiaries of the main 5 or are doomed to being bought out, but it is nonetheless where anyone who is not explicitly engaging in criminal activities but is also not a full maga-corporate citizen will be located. |

| Additional note on the larger map: I have been told by no less than every Mundanian I have spoken to that the archipelago depicted here is directly analogous to a location on "Earth" called "Japan," with some superficial differences. This is one of the primary pieces of evidence supporting Neo Mukai's classification as a Mundania itself, albeit one whose history is far divorced from its more classically-Mundanian counterparts. | {{:neo-mukai-map.webp|}} |
