The capital of the state of
Magnapolis is a sprawling city on the Gulf of Mirages, between tributaries of the Grinding River. The city is known for its many academies, which have earned it the nickname of "The Grand Academy".
Like in the rest of the state, much of the population of the city consists of
gnomes. The acclaimed academies have brought in young people from all over the states. This has turned the city into a melting pot of varied cultures and fashions. The city is divided into five main districts, with the wealthier populus gathered to south around Timerius Hill, and the poorer people north around Veneficia Bay.
