The Chancel of Kobe


Imperator Lord Drake rose the Chancel from the ruins of Kobe. Kobe was destroyed in a terrible volcanic eruption, possible brought on by a magical device. Now that Kobe has become a realm of the Nobilis, no-one else remembers that Kobe even existed.

All of Kobe is now flattened in to plains, which stretches out and touches each major city across the globe. From the centre to any city is approximately one day. In the centre of Kobe is an impressively tall Escher-style tower where all the inhabitants of Kobe leave. The whole tower contains hundreds of levels with a massive garden on top where Lord Drake appears and his sword is embedded in the ground. Strange technology and magic is used to build extensions and pathways on the outside of the tower that defy modern logic. Because of the weird nature of the tower, outside technology and magic cannot be imported to the tower. It is balanced on the consistency of it’s own internal logic.

But due to the improbable existence of the tower it presents a weak chancel and so two miracle points are swallowed per session to support and maintain it’s unique nature.

The inhabitants were the original Kobe people but since the transformation, now believe they have always lived in the great tower built by Lord Drake and ruled by his Nobilis. Among the people is a powerful but secret order of Mages.
