Pronunciation: kor-TOOR
Kor-Tur is a flying city, held aloft by powerful magics, the knowledge of which has long been lost. However, the city still remains strongly magic-focused; most citizens have some basic knowledge of simple magic, though more powerful arcane knowledge is guarded. Many wizards are from here, or have at one time come here for education. The city itself is very cosmopolitan; few people here care what you look like or where you’re from—what matters is what you know.
The city itself is connected to the land via a portal located in the town of Rash-Tur, which is populated in part by applicants hopeful to gain entrance into the city's university, as well as those who “overflowed” out of the limited space in the main city of Kor-Tur.
Ruled by a magocracy of eight wizards, one from each school of magic. The role of "speaker" rotates among the Conclave of Eight, each taking on the role for a one-year period. The speaker is able to cast the deciding vote to break ties, and also runs the conclave sessions.
Many people (of any ancestry) who grew up here are named after important mages from history, like Farooq, Khaira, Evira, Usidelis.
