Caldera of the Rainbow Shells

The Caldera of the Rainbow shells was a feat brought together by a foreigner that truly embraced the Alvadas way of life. It all began when a Charoda man named Harael and arrived in Alvadas. He quickly fell in love with the town and lifestyle of its people. He lived underwater in the harbor for a time, but wanted a place he could call home. He found a sunken caldera near the harbor, and using Coral Manipulation, he built himself a domed house, using a coral he had found that was unique to the area. The coral was constantly changing colors, for no perceptible reason. He assumed it was a gift from Ionu, and took it as a blessing to continue his work.

As more water dwellers arrived in the city of Illusion, more housing was needed. Harael built several more of these domed houses. He quickly discovered that the gift of the city had touched the Caldera as well, the homes shuffling about like Ionu's own personal Shell Game. It wasn't an overly large neighborhood, but it belonged to those that lived by Laviku's grace. Charoda, Konti, and several others made this place their home. Harael now serves as manager of the Caldera, and helps construct any new homes within.

This neighborhood doesn't only serve as housing. It is, after all a community with in a city. The denizens may occasionally open up small little shops, selling things only found beneath the waves. The bartering system is popular here, but currencies are accepted as well. The people here follow all of the laws of Alvadas, and it is one of the most peaceful areas of the city.

Back in Charbosi, Harael was an up and coming architect and engineer of coral. He was building beautiful homes, and mastering the techniques, and even inventing a few of his own of manipulating the life giving coral. He was married to a beautiful Charoda woman named Yilaena. They were planning on having their first round of eggs, when Yilaena fell ill to the Growth. The Growth is a fungal infection that is a grisly and painful death for the Charodae. Yilaena was forced into quarantine, and died slowly and alone.

Yilaena's death sent Harael into a spiraling chaos. His architecture began to reflect his state of mind, looking more like death than life. He couldn't stand it anymore, and he left Charbosi, leaving all memories of Yilaena behind. He traveled for many years, never really knowing where he was, or where he was going. His world no longer made sense to him. He was always seeing things that weren't there, hearing whispers from his dead wife, and he was a footstep away from total madness.

Then he stumbled upon a city in the Suvan, a city called Alvadas. He quickly learned of the cities own illusions and mind games, and found his own self inflicted ones disappearing. His insanity was replaced by the personality of Alvadas, and he found himself calm once more. This calm led him to once again take up building. And with that, the Caldera of the Rainbow Shells was born.
