The heart of Kaaru‘s civilization is the mountain-city called “The Silver Giant.” Carved into and built upon a massive, silver-hued mountain, the city is an architectural marvel that blends seamlessly with the natural landscape. The city is structured in tiers, with each level ascending toward the peak, where the royal palace and the most prominent institutions are located. The intricate network of walkways, bridges, and elevators connects the different levels, creating a bustling, vertical metropolis.
