History
When Keskus was established, it was a place of the Mustekala. It became a fairly large town. Then, the Mustekala received the power of Pelatorem the Flying Goddess, the ability to manipulate spacetime. With their newfound power, they took their island into the sky. Then they began traveling the world through temporary portals. Shortly thereafter, they began to build more permanent portals to the places that they frequently traveled and explored. The town grew into a city, and continued to grow, becoming the largest city on the planet. However, at some point, Pelatorem's power ceased and there was no longer any way to create new portals. Some of the portals failed and fell into disrepair. Today, the portals and the economy are stable, albeit without the convenience of Pelatorem's power.
Tourism
Because of the nature of the city, tourists come from all over the world. Each district of the city, anchored to a portal, is reminiscent of it's attached city, so many people come to take in all of the different cultures. Depending on the area of town you are visiting, you may stay in a variety of different places. In some places there are quaint taverns and inns, in others, there are more impersonal large hotels. Every part of the city is slightly different.
Architecture
The architecture in Keskus is also very variable based on the area of the city that you are in. In some areas, there are basic wooden structures. In others, there are buildings made from stone. In others still, there are structures made of metal and glass. The city attached to the portal in that district is a huge factor in the architecture that you will find in that area of the city.
Geography
Keskus is located on a floating island. The island is anchored in place using the power of Pelatorem. Rivers pour off of the side of the island, creating beautiful waterfalls. The island is large, so there are quite a few different areas. There are lush forests, tropical and deciduous. There are large areas that have been cleared for farmland. There are even some smaller mountains, hills, and caves.
Natural Resources
The areas around Keskus have a variety of resources, including lumber, produce, gems, and ore. The city itself brings in everything it needs from other places around the world.
