Orth
The town of explorers on the edge of the Abyss.
Orth is the large town built around the edge of the Abyss on an island in the southern sea of Beoluska, grown from the many explorers drawn there. It is home to most of the story's humans, including the Belchero Orphanage where Riko lives, and is divided into five districts: Central, North, West, South and East.
Background
Its modern history begins with the discovery of the Abyss 1,900 years before the story. Long before that, an Abyss tribe lived on the island and built a culture around the pit, taking up its glyphs and tattoos modelled on the mythical people of a Golden City said to lie at the bottom. Orth's people write with Nether Glyphs that map onto Japanese kana.
