Norcaste (In the Void)

Introduction

Norcaste is a massive port city on the western coast of the Fractured Lands. Norcaste is somewhat famous, having made a name for itself after the Fracturing by reinventing itself as a city of scholarship and learning. The city hosts any number of academies of art, science, and magic. The gates to the city on both sea and land sides are flanked by massive statues of the four scholars that held the city together through the Fracturing.

Norcaste is known for surviving the Fracturing almost unscathed, due to the supposed strength of the Norcaste Diamond. In the anomalous iteration, it exhibited powerful time magic, and seemed to interact very (VERY) poorly with a pocked dimension created by Mr. Bondergan to store it.

Norcaste was utterly destroyed as a part of that "poor interaction".

Using Al's device, you were able to re-open the rift and enter the void, the in-between, in order to search for the lost city of Norcaste. In finding the city, you learned about the void and solidified your control over certain small aspects of the city. First, you gained control over the city gate and it's barracks, which will eventually allow you to safely bring in people that do not have the protection of your Dominion Bonds in the void. Second, you gained control over the ruined cemetery where Mr. Bondergan destroyed the city and the breach between the void and your iteration. This will eventually allow you uncontested entry and exit from the void, allowing you to explore and command additional sections of the city.
