Kazdel

Location from Arknights by Hypergryph

Homeland of the unwanted — a small Sarkaz city-state on the borders of three empires, rebuilt after every destruction because the scattered people of Terra's most persecuted race need somewhere to call home.

Kazdel feels like a place that has been burned down and rebuilt so many times that resilience itself has become its culture. The city moves to avoid Catastrophes, but the Sarkaz joke that the real catastrophes follow them regardless. The atmosphere shifts between districts: Theresa's institutional buildings carry a quiet dignity, while the Military Commission zones pulse with martial discipline. The air carries Originium particles heavier than most cities because the Sarkaz have higher natural tolerance. It's home for a diaspora race, which means it's simultaneously sacred and insufficient — the last Sarkaz city, beloved and blamed in equal measure.

Appearance

A nomadic city-state surrounded by wasteland and Originium clusters, positioned at the intersection of Siracusa, Ursus, and Yan's spheres of influence. The architecture is a layered history of destruction and reconstruction — Sarkaz traditional design merged with military fortification merged with modern institutional buildings that Theresa ordered built. Factories, farmland, hospitals, and schools share space with the Military Commission's barracks. The landscape outside is forests and Originium-scarred terrain.
