Vyssus Mar

"Quote about Vyssus Mar." - Person Quoted

Vyssus Mar is an ancient port city and international landmark in southern Ausaris, home to the amphibious Otaru. Housed inside an enormous coiled seashell, Vyssus Mar is widely regarded as the most beautiful city in Aarn (its name roughly translates as "jewel of the sea"). It is also one of the busiest trading ports in the world, with hundreds of ships coming and going daily. During low tide, the city holds numerous festivals which draw in huge crowds from all across the world.

The colossal seashell containing the city stands over three thousand feet tall, and originally belonged to an ancient Uthulian creature known as the Arboranth. Inside the shell, the city is lit by a spread of colourful bioluminescent mosses, which grow directly from the ocean floor. In addition, the shell's interior lining is decorated with elaborate murals carved by generations of Otaru, which depict their evolutionary history from sea to land - starting at the entrance, and spiraling up through the shell's interior to the top.

When The Quake struck, Vyssus Mar was one of the few structures to withstand the brunt of the shockwave, suffering only minor external damage and being tilted slightly from the force of the blast. Among the many festivals that take place there, the 'Unbroken' festival is held in celebration of this resilience.
