The Greatest Heist -Sign up-

Adillant!

Cities thrive and grow off the advancements made by its inhabitants; they need it as sustenance in order to survive in the ever changing world. However, there is a city that requires no such thing. A single city that has survived solely on the gifts of Mother Nature and maximized them to their fullest potential. A city far beyond the eastern mountain range of Sora Metro hidden deep in dangerous and misty crooked mountains. A city left behind in time and surviving without technology advancements, The Forgotten City. Adillant.

Magic lives all around us and within us

When the world was beginning to dabble in technology, some people chose to ignore the enticement of it and stick to their ways. Those people were felt pressured to advance with everyone else so rather than stay surrounded by it, they left. They traveled to the far east, picking their way across dangerous mountain passes until they came upon a valley filled with glowing waterfalls and cherry blossom trees. Here, they made Adillant, a city of magic and wonder. The people became immersed in the mystical quality of nature, observing how it works and how they can better it without corrupting it's basic structure. As the centuries went by, more people flooded to the city "left in time" in order to experience something the other cities have lost. Whether it is the majestic swirling view of cherry blossom petals through the rising mist of the crystal clear waters or the tremulous sounds of the many falls thundering in your ears, there is undeniably something otherworldly about Adillant.

The mountains hold all the secrets

Adillant has plenty of beautiful views but that is not what makes it truly known for. While it is no longer the thriving city it once was, packed to the peak with tourists, it still has treasures within secret vaults leading into the mountain. Only when you have reached the pitch black caverns does nature come to life; bio-luminescent flora and fauna alike shine brightly in neon hues, dangling elegantly from the cave ceilings and spiraling up the walls. All of it can only be found in Adillant thanks to the glowing water from the many waterfalls the cover the steep mountains and flow deep into the ground. This is what many of the traditional medicines used today are made from in this city. No one else can compete with the special quality of there remedies made from the bio-luminescent flora and it can be months or years before more is made. Unlike the corruption and chaos that runs amok in cities like Kabukichou or Magnolia City, Adillant has remained blessedly peaceful and for the few that dare try to disturb it, they take a walk to the peak of the mountain and never return. Adillantian people are very traditional and very few stray from customs; a crescent moon symbol is often tattooed onto their body somewhere when they reach a certain age to signify where they are from, where they belong and where they shall stay.

Our everlasting customs

Most valuable good/building: There are exactly nine large mountain vaults that harbor the rarest and most valuable bio-luminescent flora and fauna known on the continent and while many can be found int he medicine they export, nothing is better than the sources. The keys to these vaults are not what they may seem. Most -if not all- of the currency comes from the exporting of medicines but they also place high value on The Moon Mirror Bridge (pictured above). As the story goes, a group of engineers attempted to travel to Adillant in order to teach the "country bumpkins" about technology in hopes of improving their city and gaining access to their secret vaults. However, what they failed to calculate was how Adillantian people would respond when they received word from guards posted at the mountains entrance to warn of incoming outsiders. On the night of the crescent moon, the engineers were crossing a stone bridge when a cloud passed over the moon and the Adillantian people had used bio-luminescent paint to create intricate designs on their face and body, braiding in vines through there hair and layering feathers in order to frighten the technology prone people. It did more than frighten them; it created the rumor that spread through the cities of how "magical glowing druids" live in the mountains and scare away intruders thus the bridge holds a special place in the hearts of Adillant people.

Only the moon sees all...
