Dei'Cercatori

As large aboveground as it is below, Dei'Cercatori is a fortress, the capital of Al'Zarzi, built to withstand heat and earthquakes moreso than any attack by creatures. Connected through reinforced tunnels to the immense cavern system below the continent, it is a point where two worlds meet - that of the world above and the world below, that of the sun and moon and that of hidden luminescence. As such, despite being relatively isolated from other surface settlements, it is a center of trade and cultural exchange where one can encounter wholly unexpected perspectives and products accessible nowhere else. It's said that the cavern system extends across the entire world if one delves deep enough, but no tales yet told in Dei'Cercatori have reported such a thing as true.
