Tsuirakushiti

From The Heretic Knowledge Vault

Tsuirakushiti (lit. "City of Tsuiraku") is a magical floaty place probably created by half-elves thousands of years ago. Then it disappeared because of a mysterious cloaking device, and then it reappeared and here it is today. Its economy is mostly based on tentacle porn.

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

History

Construction of Tsuirakushiti started two thousand years ago, just before the fall of Malacia, as the first true half-elven city. Loosly based on Malacia's design, this city used the same concepts but taken to another level. Instead of a giant artificial building, they took the entire top off a mountain, inverted it, hollowed it out for flight systems, and built Tsuirakushiti on the top of it. About a year after the fall of Malacia and after the first major stage of contruction 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 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.
