Introducing Taumaturgio, an important location in Crystals of Ulstra

Taumaturgio is a self-governing state encompassing much of Ulstra‘s southern reaches. It’s covered almost entirely by a sprawling eucalpyt forest called Arbardio’s Grove, protected home of the world’s most magical creatures and endangered animals.

Perched atop a mountain with countless cascades tumbling down it to the rivers below sits the magical city that lends the region its namesake. The city hosts the seat of Ulstra’s magical government, where the Konsilio of Mago meets regularly to debate and vote on the laws binding the world’s magic users. The Magiakademio is a storied academy where Mago from all over Ulstra train and hone their emotion-based magic.

Several main characters in Crystals of Ulstra hail from Taumaturgio or the surrounding areas of Arbardio’s Grove, including Koralo, Rubena, and Delfen.
