Recorder City

Recorder City was the capital of the Woodwind Kingdom before the founding of Clarinet City, and has quite recently been reinstated as the new capital of the Woodwind State, following the Brass Kingdom's annexation of the Woodwind Kingdom's land, including Clarinet City. Ever since Lord Saxx became ruler, the city has been shut off by anyone not loyal to the Saxophone Dynasty.

## Geography

The city is located near Crumhorn Crossing, and features much more verticality when compared to other cities. The city has buildings built into the large recorder trees found around the Woodwind Kingdom, with rope bridges and large leafy walkways connecting trees to one another. While there are no streets, large groups of trees are called a "Grove", which serves as a plaza of sorts for specific buildings. For example, one Grove might house shops, while another is more focused on residential areas.

## History

The city was founded in 1S 0 by King Piccolo l, and served as the capital of the kingdom until Clarinet City was founded in 2S 182. The city was revered for its natural defenses, being high off the ground to prevent intruders, and its harmony with nature. After the Brass Kingdom annexed the kingdom, Clarinet City became a city owned by the brass, and Recorder City returned to being the capital of the now very-small Woodwind State.

In the events of Tuba Warriors, Recorder City is blocked off to outsiders, as Lord Saxx will only let in people loyal to the Saxophone Dynasty. However, the player can gain access to Recorder City via getting first place in the annual Orchestral Tournament, hosted at Clash n' Smash Arena. Should the player get first prize, they will be rewarded special access to the city in order to claim their prize at the castle, where they will then be able to confront Lord Saxx.
