Teljose

Teljose was a city unlike any other. It was built on an active volcano that towered over the vast Teljose Great Plains. The volcano was a majestic sight, with its peak piercing the clouds and its base stretching for miles. The city was a testament to the ingenuity and courage of its inhabitants, who had learned to harness the power of the volcano for their benefit.

The city was protected by a massive wall of grey granite, which encircled the entire volcano. The wall was several meters high and thick, and it had gates and towers at regular intervals.

The buildings of the city were densely packed on the slopes of the volcano, forming a spiral pattern that ascended to the summit. The buildings were made of stone, wood, and metal, and they had various shapes and sizes.

The Magi controlled the Teljose Volcano's eruption. They transported and evenly distributed the volcanic ash across the plains and fertilized the land. As for resources such as geothermal energy, the Magi would collect them and convert them into a source of power for Teljose. Hence, the alternate name for Teljose - Nightless City.

Teljose, reputed for being a Nightless City, on one hand, was the accumulation of the Light Magi's hard work, and on the other hand, was supported by the Dark Magi. The Dark Magi directly contributed to more than 50% of the trade in the city.

The Dark Magi from all over the continent disguised themselves to enter the Nightless City each day. They aimed to trade items, amongst other activities. The guards of the city turned a blind eye to their actions. It could be said that the Nightless City's prosperity was largely dependent on the Dark Magi.

Within the city, as long as the Dark Magi did not intentionally reveal their identity, the Light Magi would not bother with them.

The city was also known as the trade center of the South Coast and the Teljose Volcano City, where the night was as bright as the day.

## Entrance

Only those Magi who had a pass given by the Teljose Administration could enter the city. For the Magi who entered for the first time, there was a simple procedure. They could either pay 200 magic crystals and obtain permanent residence, or spend 10 magic crystals and stay in the Nightless City for a month.

## City Division

The Nightless City had five zones, and the outermost zone was meant for regular people and acolytes to live in. Its organization was the most chaotic, and as long as one had a token, he or she could enter and leave the city at will.

The second zone was reserved for those who had done the paperwork to stay in the city permanently. Though official Magi could stay there, most of them didn’t prefer the living conditions in the second zone.

The third and fourth zones were where the residences of the official Magi were located. There was also a trade area specially catered to the official Magi erected within the zone.

The third zone of the Nightless City was very different from the first two zones, especially the Magi's quarters. All of the villas were widely spread, and they were adorned with eye-catching symbols. Besides the third zone's city walls were constructed using meteorites. The meteorites were not visually attractive but were also capable of absorbing loose energy and radiation.

The fourth zone was the trading zone set up for the official Magi and except Magi, no one could be found there.

Lastly, the fifth zone, where various powers had established their branches. Usually, they were not open to the public and if one was not a member, they were not allowed to enter.

## Communal Center

What was known as the communal center was situated in the middle of the second zone. It was a humongous building that, based on its outward appearance, looked like a person's inverted palm pressed to the ground. Each of those fingers was a wide entrance.

This was where the Nightless City's internal affairs were managed. These included the renting of lodgings, the application for store licenses, the issuing of missions, and so on.
