Fontaine[]
Due to an abundance of nutrition, or perhaps human interference, Contaminated Bacterial Mats will sometimes appear.
Due to their power sources being reliant on Fontaine's environment, despite the relative convenience different clockwork meka provide for work, life, adventuring, and less savory activities, they are rare in Fontaine's countryside.
Energy blocks providing power via controlled pneuma-ousia annihilation reactions are naturally unstable. When producing large amounts of power, they may exhibit the characteristics of pneuma or ousia. At this time, external inputs can cause the energy block to overload.
Ever since Alain Guillotin invented energy blocks over 400 years ago, the operations of most of Fontaine's clockwork meka have been powered via controlled pneuma-ousia annihilation reactions provided by those energy blocks.
Fontaine's law enforcement service is known as the Maison Gardiennage, and they are responsible for public order and safety in Fontaine. They have a special branch known as the Special Security and Surveillance Patrol.
From a geographical perspective, the great lake lying atop Fontaine's terrestrial landmass is a "lake." However, Fontainians themselves often refer to it as a "sea."

In research later to be abandoned, some once tried to power large machines using receiver nodes made from Condessence Crystal. In their current state, in which their energy supply has lost effect, only the Ball Octopuses can power them.
Most of the sunken ships present in Fontaine were once of the famous White Armada. Most of them were destroyed in the battle against the monstrous beasts several centuries ago. Even so, some of these ships possess automated cannonry that still works.
Ordinary civilians often purchase combat meka for various purposes. Of course, such purchases are normally registered and recorded. Normally, at least.
