Ilmoshtu

The Capital of Kragmoore, is located in the center of the main island. It is the oldest city of the land, built originally by the slaves of the gods.

The Council of Kragmoore who rules over the lands, resides in Nova Fort. Nova Fort was formerly the home of the Royal family Starrack.

The banner of Ilmoshtu is still the symbol of the Starracks; two knights with one body, holding a sword and a shield.

It is now known as the Crystal City, as the aftermath with the war against the gods riddled the city with crystals. The walls are made of old graying stone, dark and sturdy encompassing this gigantic city. Countless crystals of varying size and color, some the size of large trees, can be seen protruding from the ground, towering over some buildings while the newer structures are built around these crystals.

The crystals are highly volatile, and it is illegal to experiment on them without a signed permit from the Ilmoshtan Guard.

The oldest section of the town is the Temple District which was walled off and mostly left alone after the gods were banished.
