place:nightclaw

This is an old revision of the document!


The largest city on Sehto by far, Nightclaw is a coastal city that truly deserves calling itself 'city'. Having everything in common with cities as we understand it out of character, the only thing of note is the lack of skyscrapers - Nightclaw has always grown like a moss across the landscape, and the only building towering across the rest is their 'lighthouse', the Helix tower, at which's base is the pokémon gym of the city. Approximately eighty thousand people live here.

Descriptions from Sessios

Collected from Arsaga:

Nightclaw is like a strange, multi-facetted gem sat into Sehto's landscape, at least during the nighttime that gave it its name. From the highest platform of the seashore tower, it pulsates quietly below, like a melody of light, subtle, in waves, like the iridescence of sea shells.

It had been day when they got here, the sun casting its light onto a landscape of glass and steel that initially looked uninspiring and uninspired. But as dusk crept in noticably from Vereheq - or so our traveller's new theory, or rather, superstition - the city came to life with a light that seemed almost mesmerising from below already. And this tower, functioning as so many things at once, has proven an excellent place for looking down at the artwork below.

Nikki'd been quick to ask Naomi about wildlife in the area - but apparently, the beach is bleak at best and devoid of life at worst. Still, the prospect of potential pokémon made for at least something of an allure… and the beach with its black, jagged rocks and thinnest strips of white sand had its own allure, so perhaps Nikki was going to head there today.

The rocks are huge, nothing like one would expect boulders worn by the endless gnawing of the sea to look like, like massive shards of some godly, black vase, scattered across the white sand, nearly completely obscuring it. It's awkward to walk along these slopes, their expanse mindbogglingly unusual, though not grotesque. The wind tugs at their clothes, but it's merely a stiff breeze, and while the sun's not out on this cloudy day, the temperature is certainly bearable.
