Larracos

The Beautiful City

The central ninth-floor city outside which Faction Wars bloodbaths normally attract divine intervention.

Story so far

Priestly describes Larracos as a beautiful, dreamlike city he dreads seeing destroyed during the final Faction Wars battle. His entry implies the city is central to the conflict and emotionally overwhelming when ruined.

The new quest states that mass divine and infernal attention usually appears only on battlefields outside Larracos, where Semeru Dwarves built a castle among the roots of the All Tree to seek disdainful gods. Cuba's eighth-floor event reproduces that late-stage pressure much too early.

Appearance

A magnificent fantasy city beyond vast battlefields, backed by the roots of an impossible world tree.

Role

Larracos is the expected focal point of ninth-floor war, divine attention, and psychological collapse.

Relationships

PriestlyBk 4 — The thought of the city's destruction contributes to his final breakdown.
Semeru Dwarves — They build a castle outside it at the All Tree's roots.
Divine Battlefield Attention — The surrounding battles normally trigger this mechanic.
Faction Wars — The city is central to the ninth-floor endgame.
