Nexus

Nexus, is an underground area in Alphonse underneath Noble's Castle. Home of an ancient 20000 year old civilization far more advanced than the current one on the surface. Once a place for millions of people far exceeding the current population of Tolaine and largest civilization in tolaine.

They used runes and a different language (latin) to communicate and lived on what the ocean provided. It has only been partially archaeologically explored. They believed in gods and goddesses that could be incarnated into flesh for everyday parts of life and saw those with yoki as "dreamers". Nexus was ruled by an avatar of Messire while it flourished but he left it to die, sealing up the exits to the surface, killing them from starvation. Messire gave them their religion and they recorded it, particularly their apocalypse scriptures, the eternal dream. See gods/goddesses.

Nowadays a dump for Corrupted Beings created by the three princesses and a place for exiling Awakened Beings to by the Royal Family of Alphonse. Near completely corrupted, Nexus developed an ecosystem of Corrupted Beings, plants and corpses. Close to everything is included, making it a dreadful place. Also the place where the Fruits Of Labor are cultivated since they can’t survive on the surface.
