Luxe (lyks)

Luxe, the City of Light, was the shining gem of the now-vanished continent of Sange. Situated on seven hills overlooking the sea, this dazzling metropolis was once the heart of Clarati power and culture. The Clarati, a race of tall, pale-skinned people obsessed with Magic and illumination, built Luxe as a testament to their greatness and their mastery of the arcane.

The city was a marvel of architecture and Magic, with its shining white marble buildings, glittering fountains, and pristine gardens. Its streets were lined with elegant mansions, fine boutiques, and luxurious palaces, all of which were designed to showcase the Clarati's wealth and sophistication.

At the heart of Luxe stood the Palatium Lucis, a massive structure that served as the residence of her most Sanguine Majesty, the Empress Illuminata. This magnificent palace was a wonder to behold, with its soaring towers, gleaming walls, and intricate mosaics. Within its walls, the Clarati held court and conducted their arcane experiments and rituals, surrounded by the finest luxuries and the most advanced magical technologies.

But Luxe was not invulnerable. A great catastrophe befell Sange nearly a thousand years ago, destroying the continent and its people. The nature of this disaster remains a mystery, but its effects were catastrophic. The few Clarati who were not present on Sange at the time of the catastrophe then turned on one another in battles lasting centuries, for reasons that are a mystery to all.

Today, Luxe is gone from the physical world, its shining glory faded into memory. But the memory of the city lives on in The Dream realm, accessible only to those who can find a way to walk the world of dreams, thoughts and memories. In this realm, the ruins of Luxe still stand tall, a testament to the glory and power of the Clarati civilization. The Dream realm version of Luxe is much like the real-world city, with its shining white marble buildings, glittering fountains, and pristine gardens. But in The Dream realm, the city is bathed in an ethereal glow, and the light and Magic of the Clarati civilization is still very much alive.

Exploring The Dream realm Luxe is not without its dangers, however. The city is said to be haunted by the ghosts of the Clarati, who still cling to their former home and mourn their lost civilization. These ghosts can be powerful and dangerous, and those who enter The Dream realm Luxe should be prepared to defend themselves against them. Furthermore, the O le Feagaiga is an organization dedicated to keeping the secrets of Luxe hidden from all, for the protection of everyone.
