Motgal

**Motgal** (モードガル, *Mōdogaru*?) is located in Walluchia, but its exact location is not known.

## Overview

Motgal is the **Death Capital** (死の都, *Shi no miyako*?). It is known as the **Phantom Death Capital** (幽幻の死都, *Yūgen no shi-to*?), the city of the dead, ruled by the evil god of death. Motgal is Zalxis' capital and he controls the land. The land is favourable for Zalxis.

The Elios Pantheon tried to find its location several times, but apparently they could not find it. The location of the Phantom Death Capital Motgal is uncertain and it is difficult to tell where it is. It is difficult for even the Divine Child of Death to determine its position. If Zalxis doesn't call, they wouldn't know the location. Only Zalxis and part of the divine child of death know the exact location. It was hidden until now, but it seemed to be finally resurrected. It is currently located south of Karnstein Castle.

## Layout

The land is dangerous as it is full of miasma. The land is probably filled with the freezing power of Zalxis.
