Twilight Kingdom

Yet To Be Roleplayed: Future Plans, will be referenced in RP To Come

The Twilight Islands, named so because of the islands' unique state of day and night at all times, was originally the homeland of both of Belladonna Andreanna's parents, who would later turn out to be slaves by a visiting World Noble within the Grand Line. Originally considered a completely anarchistic community which maintained economic viability and stability due to their production  of unique and extremely valuable food stuff, as well as their unique industries on a grand scale, something that would be usually be outlawed or illegal in most other countries. Recently, the Twilight Islands have  fallen under the command of the Regal Pirates, after getting a lead as to where Andreanna may have come from the lips of a member of a lesser pirate crew, though remnants of it's former existence still exist there. Actually an archipelago, the Twilight Islands are known to be quite progressive under the rule of the current Queen, whilst still managing to combine this with the cultural background.

Overview
In the past, prior to the rule of the Regal Pirates, the Twilight Islands were a place without any form of rules or restrictions, due to not having an established leader. As a result, when the World Noble visited, they subconsciously took solace in the fact that the persons he was about to enslave were savages to begin with, capturing many individuals and taking them away from their homes. Formerly, before the intervening of the Regal Pirates, the Twilight Islands were known to seemingly have a tribal based society, where individuals of the different tribes would war and rebel against each other, with what would be considered crime being apparent in the Twilight Islands. However, these activities would blend seamlessly into other activities that would occur on these islands.

Known for their incredibly beautiful women, many of the current buildings and establishments within the Twilight Islands were formerly brothels and institutions of prostitution, though even outside of such buildings, the rampancy of this industry could still be seen, a vile sight for those of the faint of heart, but a more common for those experienced with the sea. For the most part, these activities were the choices of the women, but it was known that women had little, to no rights on the island, seemingly existing and were only worth their sensuality and ability to relieve stress (or provide pleasure). In addition to this, children themselves were seen as goods that could be used in barter and trading, where the buyer of these children could do whatever he wished with them, from child labour, to slavery, to yet still even less distasteful activities. Like the Kuja Tribe, most individuals seemed capable of using Haki however, but none capable of using Haoshoku Haki.

However, running completely in contrary to everything else,  the Islands, atleast the solar portion, were capable of producing extensive amounts of agricultural produce to feed every mouth in both the Day and Night Territories, as well as produce a competitive surplus. The one saving grace of the island in a land on unlawfulness, the Regal Pirates would step in and stop the active exploitation of women and children, as well as kill the main channel between the island the World Government. Within a few months of the Regal Pirates' arrival, and the display of the power known as Haoshoku Haki by Akihiko, the island began to turn itself around, even being controlled by the very same woman that the captain used his Haki to protect. Under their combined rule, the Island has seen economic growth and scientific developments, being taught methods of agriculture that have seemingly existed only outside of their habitat, as well as special devices known as "bulbs", which provide light due to having gas inside it's tubing heated by Akihiko's Devil Fruit powers. Tribes began to intermingle, but instead of a forced manner, in a form of peace. Through these processes and the education of the natives, the Twilight Islands are known to have become quite a profitable society.

Slavery, as well as all other forms of influence considered to be those of "Marine Territories" were outlawed. In fact, the individuals of the Twilight Island are known to be quite hostile to most, if not all individuals that even mutter the name of the World Government, due to being taught to be distrustful of them, especially since Andreanna was one of their own. Seeing the pirates as heroes, the Twilight Islands are a home for the Regal Pirates in particular, a home that proved itself to be sustainable, and capable of defending itself. Perhaps one day an islander will join the crew, or form their own? While remnants of the past society exist, the newly revitalized population of the Twilight Islands, consisting of those who wished to coexist are actively giving others a lesson in human decency.

Architecture
The islands are known to be a strange mixture between modern day architecture and that of the ancient tribal people of the real world continent Africa, with communities being built as elaborate, nigh-interconnected structures with a designated market region
