Crescentia

"'This isn't Hylion, punk. It's not even Oridono. Tonight, you're in my city. Like what I've done with the place? Welcome to purgatory, kid.' -Cynthia"

Crescentia is one of the cities in Hylion. One of the smallest cities in Hylions, Crescentia is located near the tundra region and is probably one of the harshest places in Hylion. Crescentia is governed by Cynthia Artemis and her shadow organization known as, Church of Blood with an iron grip.

History
The birth of Crescentia is one shrouded in both mystery and mysticism. The city was built roughly two centuries before the present day. Some say an advanced "foreign" technology was used to built it but the locals believe that an evil witch was buried alive beneath what would one day become the very foundation on which the city was built on, by her followers. It is alleged that while the witch laid in a state of narcosis, her evil essence seeped into the soil, poisoning the ground with her dark, corrupt touch. Magic was used to shield the city from rest of the world by establishing a barrier around it and certain warriors were chosen by the followers of the very same which. These warriors have only one goal, to protect the witch's grave; later these guardians would come to be known as, "Ice Giants". Several years later, the very first sign of life appeared within the city and it has been populated ever since.

Races
Crescentia is home to various races, most of which have specifically evolved to adapt to such temperature. Crescentia is a home to the rare Ice-Kawari as well as humans. However, it is also populated by dire wolves, snow leopards, bald eagles, gray falcons, pikas and Ice Giants.
