Othein

Many residents of Othein originated from Old/New Rozae and decided to depart from the chaotic city life to pursue a calmer lifestyle. Most known for their libraries- known as Research Gates, their archives are some of the most dense and diverse in all of Xalterra. A city truly like no other, regions of Othein are magically kept afloat above the surrounding town.

Many who established the town had fled from the Rozae Civil War, were of Order Novikand/Noivec and disagreed with their motives, or sought knowledge of the arcane. It's rather common to meet archmages and arcanists, and experienced wizards and artificers, especially in the Elevated Sector. Despite this, magic is seen across

Elevated Sector
The region of town that levitates ~300ft above the Ground Level by arcane means. A majority of the Research Gates and arcane academies are located on this level, as well as residence for political figures, archmages, and skilled arcanists. Mithral is commonly used as a building material throughout the Elevated Sector with adamantine accents used as a keynote Othein design.

Ground Level
A more simplistic though in no way impoverished, the Ground Level is where commonfolk reside. Most

Balance Chamber
Location of the Mythallar that keeps the Elevated Sector levitating above the Ground Level. It's heavily secured and partly underground.

The Hag of Othein
An annis by the name of Mynra (mine-ra) Tanta inhabits the surrounding ruins of Othein. She bears no hostility nor threat to the town, and the commonfolk pay little mind to her and her devices. Mynra’s motives are unknown to all but herself, and she lures her prey with the promise of fortune and favor.

Those who’ve encountered Mynra return altered in some way, whether with knowledge they sought, awakened abilities, or overcoming madness, this varies on the individual's wish.

Visitors are greeted with the Otheinein Ruins of Praevoricor, the ancient earthquakes and tearing and separation of landmass completely demolishing the original civilizations that once inhabited Olbound. The remains of these once civilizations litter and compose these ruins, and the annis Mynra Tanta has fabricated her abode amongst the rubble.
