Alabaster

"Welcome to the Alabaster road between worlds."

Alabaster is an island city in the center of the [middle ocean]. It is built on a volcanic hotspot that produces a unique white rock as its lava. With ninety thousand Urach alone, it is the largest land-based Urach settlement on Lucus. It is the largest trading hub in the world, levying considerable fees on any trade crossing between continents, due to the difficulty in crossing the [middle ocean] anywhere but the Alabaster Strait due to intense winds and currents and insufficent sailing technology.

Alabaster is known for its vicious underworld and black market. It is home base to the insidious Trench Cult and is often under fire from the House of Rauma and other local underworld groups. Its wealth and strategic value has also seen it under invasion from time to time, but its powerful navy and networks of passages make it difficult to siege.
