ALAST 00

The very first Maincity.
Located on the center of every map, ALAST is the first event everyone can agree upon, which is the Humane found a high hill and were able to build up defenses against the Anz and Dust, and survive.
The group of Humane had just been chased out their previous shelter, and only lost the attacking Anz as it got into a fight with another of its kind. The human travelled for three hours before a luck find of a hill that had a radiating Crystal Vein. As it was soon to be nearing Night's Set, after a short discussion, camped at the site. They put up shelter behind the crystal and another boulder, and just as they were counting lookouts, a blackout swept over the dust, their torches went out, the little light from the foggy sky shut out instantly. They were instead luminated by the yellow glow of the crystal, for once the Blackout had a match; this crystal was something the Humane needed to harness.
Now they are the oldest Maincity standing. Newer maincities have been built and fallen, and while ALAST resides in the more dangerous side of the Key Territory, they remain tall.
Historically known for harnessing the low flying Bonecasted Taerwarry.
Their exports include products from their aviary, captured Anz and their blood leathers, Stogrow Plaster, and teas.

"The crystal vein kept them safe through all darkness, and they kept it safe, eventually harnessing the power of its core, raising themselves atop, and built atop its upper platform. And there, they just kept building up, and up."
