History
The city itself, however, would not even exist were it not for the Kafra Corporation. Indeed, it was 1000 years ago that Kafra Corp. relocated its headquarters to the area, in such a way that it purposely rests on the borders of the Schwarzwald Republic, Glastheim, and Rune-Midgarts. Over the next one thousand years, the current city was built in gradual phases, reaching completion recently. Since that time, it has remained as an oasis amongst the rugged landscape... a god-send to all those too poor to travel otherwise...
