The massive iceberg city of Illuliaq is hewn out of the living ice. Tunnels and caverns form homes, great halls, streets, and even major thoroughfares. A cavern in the center acts as the city center. The lower levels are flooded, while the upper levels remain dry. There are docks and landing bays both above and below water. Imbued with ancient magic, the ice never melts even in the height of summer. Ancient magic also anchors the city in place against the powerful arctic currents. It is said that, in times of emergency, the city may be moved. But the last reported incident was several generations ago. The secret of this magic is now lost. - Nika: The massive iceberg city of Illuliaq is hewn out of the living ice. Tunnels and caverns form homes, great halls, streets, and even major thoroughfares.

Underwater, extensive oyster beds cling to the craggy rock face.
