Shades of red and orange, as well as black, are the main colors of Ikazkan's palette. Steam rises from cracks in the ground, and sometimes magma bursts forth – it would be hot and stuffy here for someone unaccustomed to underground life, but for the people of Tezot, who have spent a significant part of their lives here, it is already commonplace. However, large distances cannot be easily overcome simply through habit and the body's adaptation – the flying Ivalai place their structures not very compactly, and stairs and bridges alone cannot solve the problem. Ironically, the Infernal Throne, the construction of which was initiated by the people themselves, is the most cruel structure towards them. It is a tall, ominous-looking tower made of black stone and metal, decorated with various patterns, statues, and other decorative elements – 1666 altins in height. To reach the top, the heroes of the upcoming expedition had to climb 6666 steps along a wide spiral, carefully watching their step, as a fall would have dire consequences. This architectural marvel, against which everyone looked like a tiny person, was the result of human fanaticism, the skill of the Sord, the aesthetics of the Ivalai, and the rich resources of Ikazkan. The locals themselves would never have come up with such a thing.
At the very top, on a luxurious throne (the construction of which Usa, the organizer of the entire project, insisted on), sat Óna – with Gekizo in her hand, surrounded by bowls in which fire burned. From this height, a beautiful view of the entire city opened up; lava rivers, the homes of the inhabitants, and volcanoes were clearly visible. Meeting her gaze, one could see the depth of feeling in the sparks of her eyes, but what exactly was hidden in them remained a mystery.
– Our people are not interested in the past, and the generosity of the wonderful Ikazkan will be enough for everyone, but if the human soul yearns for its origins, then a daring expedition must take place, for the sake of spiritual satisfaction and curiosity. Create your own destiny as your hearts desire, dear friends, and know that there are no definitive answers to life's questions. The predetermined course of the universe, along which the world flows chaotically but without a doubt, will not change from the actions of mortals, so one must live without regrets.
– The little people won't have the nerves for that, – added the talking sword, completing his mistress's enigmatic phrase, – in their thoughts, "yesterday" and "tomorrow" are always more important than "today." Regrets about the past and expectations for the future outweigh the true moment. Go, wingless ones, the power of Ikazkan is in your hands. Choose a leader if you cannot otherwise
and seek clues about the path to the surface.
Furafura
An attitude towards life that involves living "in the moment" and having no regrets.
+3 to activity, +5 to stamina.
Any character present in this scene can adopt this belief.
Support
In exchange for activity, you can ask Óna to summon a randomly generated character to help the expedition. The number of NPCs is limited by the total size of the group.
Ikazkan
Infernal Throne -> this location.
House of Svar and Rizz -> this place is used as a dining hall, and people sometimes come here to complain about minor conflicts.
Bulletin Board -> another trace of human culture; here, you can find tasks that need to be completed.
Óna's Lackeys -> something like a temple, where the most ardent followers of the community gather.

Dungeon Wizards -> a place for exchanging magical knowledge.
House of Trance -> here lives a wonderful Mindar.
Hot Springs -> a popular place for all races of Ikazkan to relax.
In Ikazkan, there are no familiar streets and shop signs! If a character needs, for example, to acquire new equipment, they need to think about finding a suitable craftsman; want to find the home of a familiar character? The same applies.
Exits from Ikazkan
Path of Crimson Tongues - a wide and long stone bridge located above the fiery river.
Mirror of the Soul - an abyss located directly under the Infernal Throne, which makes it not only high but also very deep.
Mineral Rivers - a network of caves and tunnels rich in ore and minerals.
