Added 2024-01-29 19:01:56 +0000 UTC

Al' Runica is the capital of Durashonia, and this great structure here would be the Palace Where the King of Durashonia, Kin Itzaes.

Al'Runica is a very old city if not the oldest of the whole continent, and that cultural legacy is something Durashonians are very proud of, although many of them might be adopting Exicom's ways of living. Durashonia was already its own empire when Exicom decided to conquer them, a reign that lasted until 20 years ago when Durashonia started the fight for their independence, a war which they won.

At first, it was easy for Exicom to take control of the kingdom due to their technological advances and war weaponry with magh implementation, but when Durashonias started the war of independence they knew that they could not beat Exicom with technology so they trained their forces to become strong sorcerers, Magic was something Durashonia had always aced at, their Fire users where so powerful and reliant that Exicom's machinery wasn't enough to win the fight this time.

That is how the Itzaes lineage won back the throne for the people of Durashonia and started their reign.

While the Mayan influence in the aesthetics of the Palace is pretty noticeable, there are also some colonial aspects to it, and you can even notice some Spanish church-like structures inside the pyramids, something representing that Exicom has found a way inside the forces that control the kingdom and might be manipulating behind the scenes. (if you have read Kin's concept info, you already know what's about)
