Algra (Algra Hook)

Located at the extreme western edge of Kitchlande, the Algra Hook is a scorched wasteland of craters, fulgurite, and barren fields. Violent storms are swept up along the coast, and then trapped between the land and the Amrigane Mountains to the east. Except on the very tip of the Hook, none of the land was cultivated for kilometers in any direction. Few travellers were capable of crossing that treacherous stretch, apart from the one mage clan that made the Hook its home — the Weathermongers.

History

The only Metamorian to travel across the Hook by foot and survive is Zhypar Habakkuk, the man responsible for a very important prophecy.

In more modern times, Agemnos recognized the value of a barren, blighted wasteland that nobody wanted. He made a deal with the Weathermongers and set up Algra as a corporate state allied with Majestic Industries.

Today

Algra is a gold mine for renewable energy, with solar, wind and wave power all present in abundance. Agemnos uses this ample energy supply to power MI's research and development facilities, including the secretive Tanaatha Complex.

There is only one large city in the Hook, also called Algra, and it has become a hotbed for international finance and free enterprise, much like Singapore or Dubai. Some would say that Algra is nearly lawless, an example of capitalism run amok. Agemnos would say that those who are too timid to swim with the sharks should stay out of the water.
