Cove City Wiki

Cove City is nestled into the calm waters of Coral Cap Cove at the end of the Luna River. It is the only true city on the small isles as most residents are unlikely to permanently settle in one location due to the more nomadic nature of those who live in Mycorzha. The creation of the city happened both naturally and haphazardly due to it's convenient location making it accessible both for traders and those who harvested from the fertile Luna Valley area for goods to exchange. Boat homes are built along it's expansive docks with many residents enjoying the access to the ocean and the constant movement that comes with the busy trading areas. Towers are built throughout the city, some having toppled over through the years and repurposed into new homes on the ground. The streets curve in unexpected ways that can make it hard to navigate if you aren't a local, causing many of those who do not live there to stay away from the city all together. For all that it is disorganized in it's city planning much effort has been made to make navigating the city as easy as possible regardless of where you are from. Cove City has official pictograph tiles they use to describe things like street names, goods, and processes throughout rather than using a distinct written language. This makes the city the ideal location for those not from Mycorzha who don't speak the local language. Versions of these pictographs are found at the other trade ports, but unlike Cove City lack any sort of official designation, making the other ports a little more haphazard.

Cove City due to it's many different types of residents boasts a robust nightlife to accommodate the many nocturnal creatures that reside there. The markets never really close, the ports are always running, and even the parks feature many wonderful plants and insects that only come out in the night.

Unique to Cove City is the Mycorzha University. For the most part those of the Mycorzha Isles do not have a strong academic focus - opting instead to learn how to tend to the land and spend their time with their communities. Many never learn to formally read or write as it is never a needed skill, and with stories passed along orally there is always a warm fire and a night of tall tales to be found nearby. However for some with different brains or bodies they find themselves naturally fascinated with all the wonderful opportunities and enjoyment these skills can bring. These individuals are celebrated on the island for their unique perspectives, and many chose to leave their communities in favor of living at the university to be surrounded by others who enjoy these same pursuits. The University is expansive and known well beyond the Isles for it's amazing research. As a default it is built to support those of all different backgrounds due to the predominant academic population being differently abled - expansive walkways, raised text, food and residential halls designed to support those who are perhaps to busy with a good book to always remember that they must also eat on occasion.

While many in the city are a bit more disconnected from the land than most, seeing the holidays as nothing more than a time for ridiculously over the top decorations, the Cove City residents wanted to ensure those who grew up there still understood the Isle. As such 7 large parks were built through out the city to represent each of the 7 known biomes the island has and the various ways to care for the plants that grow there (Fern Leaf Forest - taiga forest, Hazelmoss Woods - temperate forest, Greater Mycorzha Plains and Hills - temperate grasslands, Morel Marsh -temperate wetlands, Crescent Mountains - alpine tundra, Luna Valley - open woodland, and the surrounding Oceans - marine aquatic). While there isn't enough food grown in these to feed all the residents of Cove City those who had a bad trade month or are down on their luck are welcome to forage here to get them through tough times. For those truly unable to make it in the trades Luna Valley is nearby and always has room for more creatures.
