{{{Title}}}

Tsuirakushiti (lit. "City of Tsuiraku") is a magical floaty place created 2,000 years ago. Then it disappeared behind a cloaking device, it reappeared 200 years ago, when Veracia failed at trying to take the elven territories, accidently damaging the cloaking device. Its economy is mostly based on tentacle porn.

Tsuirakushiti is the capital city of Tsuiraku. This is where Meji is from.

Magic

One cannot discuss Tsuiraku without also discussing magic, since it is an integral part of Tsuirakuan civilization and is even used to keep Tsuirakushiti levitated above its lake. Tsuirakuans have, at least three levels of mage that we know of. Undoubtedly, there are yet more. The top of the pyramid is the Archmage, of which we suspect Meji's grandfather to be an example. Somewhere in the middle are Battlemages, of which Bani Igaaru is an example. There are also Portalmages and others.

It has recently been a minor plot point that, unlike many other magical devices, the Levitation Devices that keep Tsuirakushiti afloat cannot be easily taken out by magical attack, due to double-redundancy in the Levitation Devices. Specifically, a second device in the lake that is equally capable of keeping the city afloat should the one in the city fail or become damaged, as the one in Malacia was. This sort of redundancy has yet to be seen in any other magical device so far.

History

Construction of Tsuirakushiti started two thousand years ago, just before the fall of Malacia, as the first true half-elven city. Loosely based on Malacia's design, this city used the same concepts but taken to another level. Instead of a giant building, like Malacia, they took the entire top off a mountain (in northern Veracia, far from the current location), inverted it, hollowed it out for Levitation Devices, and built Tsuirakushiti on the top of it. About a year after the fall of Malacia and after the first major stage of construction was completed, it disappeared, triggering the Errant War.

Eighteen hundred years later Tsuirakushiti was forced from its long period of cloaked isolation by Veracia's ill-advised and abortive attempt, using Luminosita, to topple the barrier the elves had erected between their remaining territory and the outside world. The resulting magical blast (which Sarine has implied should be called an "Energy pulse") damaged Tsuirakushiti's cloaking mechanisms beyond rapid repair, revealing the 1800 year old city to the world. This happened two hundred years before the present story.

The Tsuirakushiti leadership then made a deal with the Farrelians, the then owners of the island chain, which was a former Rinkai Erufu territory. While the nature of the deal is not exactly known, Tsuirakushiti acquired the entire island chain and formed the Nation of Tsuiraku. Seemingly in exchange, they began to upgrade Farrel's technology base and economy for them, including the installation of Warp gates in various Farrelian cities. Other technological innovations, such as airships and their ports, and materials technology improved Farrelian lifestyles and the standard of living. A fact not lost upon the Veracian Church is that Tsuiraku effectively supplanted Veracia's influence in Farrel, to the joy of the Farrelians since they no longer have the bleak prospect of being absorbed by Veracia to look forward to.

The Dispelling of Luminosita also caused an energy pulse of much power, reminding Sarine of what happened with Luminosita a few hundred years earlier. Tsuirakuans hadn't counted on external discharges like those caused by gods exploding and the external magical blast briefly disturbed both the Levitation Devices that were keeping the city afloat. This resulted in the entire city tilting, and many people not feeling very well at all.
