Mal'qurel

The Nation of Mal'Qurel

The Nation of Mal'qurel is the largest trading nation of Alvaia and controls the shipment of shine. It lies right in the middle of The Threaded Walkway between Azzura and Zaun. Because of the small amount of land, it relies on floating constructions on the surrounding water to carry its citizens. It was in constant conflict between Azzura and Zaun but quickly became the most powerful nation on Gametia after its steady supply of shine to both nations.

It used to be a small outpost under oppressive control from Azzura and attacks from Zaun, until Alavus Aurrelia and Melandra, the founders of shine and inventors of the Gateways, grew tired of the delipidated state of Mal'qurel and chose it to be the nation that controls both. Years later, Mal'qurel rapidly grew to the nation it is now.

Infrastructure

Circular roads intertwine and connect like a web, for citizens to travel to and fro. The Threaded Walkway acts as a major road, but only for people, because of it's small width.

Points of interest

Docks surround the outer edge of the citadel towards the open sea for travelers and traders to rest or do business. The center of the citadel is a large lighthouse, that serves as both a working lighthouse for passing ships, as well as meeting place for The Counsel of Gametia.

Geography

Mal'qurel sits on the middle of The Threaded Walkway. Only a thin strip of land, no longer than 4 meters wide, stretches between Azzura and Zaun. To the West lies the open sea, while the East lies the rest of Gametia, and it's dangerous beasts and lands.
