Genesisprotech:

'''Liscor''' is a city-state located in [[Izril]], and is inhabited by [[Drakes]], [[Gnolls]] and [[Antiniums|Antinium]]. As of volume 7 it has a growing population of [[humans]]. The city has around 85'000 inhabitants.<ref name="1.44">[https://wanderinginn.com/2017/03/01/1-44/ Chapter 1.44]</ref>

== Geography ==
[[File:LiscorArea_Map.png|thumb|300px|right|Detail map of Liscor's surroundings (Artist's rendition)]]
[[File:BloodfieldArea_Map.png|thumb|300px|right|Overview map of the area south of Liscor (Artist's rendition)]]
Liscor is located 88 miles south of [[Celum]], over 30 miles south of [[Esthelm]], 116 miles away from [[Remendia]] and 118 miles away from [[Ocre]]. Furthermore, Liscor is located 435 miles south of [[Invrisil]].<ref name="timeline">[https://www.patreon.com/posts/some-stuff-14315666 Timeline.txt]</ref> It is about 380 miles north of [[Pallass]].

The city sits on the [[Floodplains]] that divide Southern [[Izril]] from the human-colonized northern half of the continent. It has a lot of natural defenses; the only way to reach it is from the north and the south. The mountains make it impassable, and the southern border is guarded by the highly dangerous [[Blood Fields]].<ref name="ch.1.23" /> Furthermore, it is always flooded for the first two months of Spring every year, due to its natural geography and nonstop rainfall. During this flooded period, powerful monsters populate the flooded waters.<ref>[[Chapter 5.03]]</ref>

=== Natural dangers ===
About a quarter of all traveler's deaths around Liscor are due to goblins.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2016/09/25/1-17/ Chapter 1.17]</ref> It was also said that rain, undead and war are the worst dangers to Liscor.<ref name="ch.1.23" /> Both of these statements were made before the [[Liscor's Dungeon|Dungeon beneath Liscor]] was discovered.

== Demographics ==
Liscor had about 80'000 civilian inhabitants at the end of book 1, not counting the 4'000 members of the watch<ref name="1.44" /> and the 2'000 members of the [[Liscorian Army]] fighting abroad. Whether adventurers were already included into either civilian or military numbers, is unknown. However, the city was unprepared to fit even more inhabitants inside its boundaries - and the population has dramatically increased after the dungeons around the city were discovered.

The Antinium in their hive below the city (according to estimates by Olesm and Zevara) number 9'000 soldiers and 24'000 workers. In case of a war, they are contractually obliged to mobilize in the defense of the city.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2019/10/15/6-49/ Chapter 6.49]</ref>

== History ==
A millenium ago, there was already a city near the place where today's Liscor stands. That city fell to curruption from within. They built terrible weapons, loosed monsters in their walls, and the city turned into a [[Liscor's Dungeon|dungeon]] deep underground, only to be forgotten afterwards.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2017/04/22/2-15/ Chapter 2.16]</ref>

:''Note: So far, nothing more has been revealed about the pre-history of Liscor before the latest decades. Since the humans invaded Izril more than 3000 years ago and slowly expanded their influence southwards, the city-turned-dungeon might have been the way of the [[Drakes]] to close the single remaining bottleneck that allowed easy entrance to the South. This likely means that "modern" Liscor was founded just a few centuries ago, long after the Human invasion of Izril and also after the ruin of the old city described above. Nobody in the city could tell much about the even more ancient dungeons/ruins below Liscor.''

=== 1st Antinium War ===
The First Antinium War is dated about 24 years before Erin's arrival near Liscor.

The [[Liscorian Army]] was commanded by General [[Sserys]] and regarded one of the strongest forces on the continent. They were available for hire as a mercenary force and thus away from Liscor fighting in the defense of the [[Walled Cities]] when the Antinium made a push towards the northern part of the continent.

Liscor was sieged by the Antinium who couldn't scale its walls. Sserys arrived from the south to relieve the siege but was stopped short before the city. A coalition army of Humans under [[Magnolia Reinhart]] could drive off the Antinium however. The rest of the war didn't touch the city of Liscor much afterwards, although the Army fought for longer time; and Sserys died at the end of the war.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2017/05/31/s02-the-antinium-wars-pt-2/ S02 - Antinium Wars pt.2]</ref>

=== 2nd Antinium War ===
Ten years ago, the city was almost destroyed when [[Az’kerash|The Necromancer]] unleashed his armies of the undead on the [[Issrysil|continent]]. With the help of the [General] [[Zel Shivertail]], the inhabitants of Liscor were able to hold off the undead by themselves for months. ''(See: [[Necromancer's Siege of Liscor]])''

After the Antinium War, the city entered the contract with the [[Free Antinium]] Hive, who offered military assistance for the permission of staying in the city, which greatly increased the strength of Liscor. Moreover, they are to provide services and goods to the city.<ref name="ch.1.23">[https://wanderinginn.wordpress.com/2016/10/23/1-23/ Chapter 1.23]</ref><ref>[https://wanderinginn.wordpress.com/2017/01/29/1-39/ Chapter 1.39]</ref>

=== Book 1 ===
In the autumn when [[Erin Solstice|Erin]] arrived near Liscor and started her business at the first [[The Wandering Inn|Wandering Inn]], a drake shepherd had discovered ancient ruins ten miles to the southwest of the city. This attracted many adventurers towards the city. Many adventurers and merchants arrived from the human north half of the continent, among them five silver-rank teams that chose to explore these ruins. ''(see: [[Ruins of Liscor]])''

As the expedition of these five teams failed, they triggered [[Skinner's Attack on Liscor]]. The undead guardian of the ruins invaded the city and killed many inhabitants, but were driven off towards the Wandering Inn, where [[Skinner]] was slain.<ref name="1.44" /> Afterwards, the ruins were checked and found mostly empty. However, another entrance to a seemingly separate dungeon was discovered, but treated with much more respect than the ruins. Even more entrances were found in the months afterwards. ''(see: [[Dungeon of Liscor]])''

=== Books 2 to 4 ===
In the following time, the noble thief [[Lyonette du Marquin|Lyonette]], who had been present in the city ever since the humans arrival, caused her second fire in Liscor's marketplace. She was caught and banned from the city, but found shelter in the Wandering Inn, which had been rebuilt closer to the city after an explosion. In that same winter, Erin installed a [[Magical Door]] in her inn, first only leading to [[Celum]]. Also, a [Necromancer] [[Reiss|Goblin Lord]] bypassed Liscor on his way into the human north.

=== Book 5 ===
At the onset of spring, adventurers in Liscor's dungeon triggered the [[Moth's Attack on Liscor]], which led nearly to the destruction of the city, but was fended off with help from gold-rank adventuring teams, Antinium, Celum's city watch, and adventurers arriving from [[Pallass]]. This event was broadcasted by magical spells and orbs all over [[Innworld]] and made Liscor's dungeon famous as an adventuring place. It was declared to be a gold-rank dungeon.

Some time later, [[Raskghar]] inhabitants of the dungeon started another attack on Liscor and abducted Gnoll citizens to gain strength from a blood ritual. Their plan was prevented, and their leader [[Calruz]] was imprisoned.

The Goblin Lord [[Reiss]] was then returning into the south, hounded by the human forces of Lord [[Tyrion Veltras]] who intended to lay claim to Liscor using the pretense of a goblin invasion to claim the city without killing a single drake (5.52). This plan almost succeeded even when the forces of Liscor's goblins and their allies were able to kill most of Reiss' host. Only the intervention of [[Magnolia Reinhart]] saved the city from destruction, as she extorted Veltras' retreat with threats on the life of his children. ''(see: [[Goblin-Human Siege of Liscor]])''

=== Book 6 ===
In early summer, the housing situation of Liscor had deteriorated so far that the population demanded to elect a new council who would sort out the problems by expanding the city walls. This lead to a fierce campaign between the parties of [[Lism]] and [[Krshia]], who offered different solutions on how to manage this. ''(see: [[First Elections of Liscor]])''

== Layout ==
[[File:Liscor Wall by Enuryn.png|thumb|220x220px|Liscor Walls by [[Fanworks/Enuryn|Enuryn]]|alt=]]
Liscor is enclosed on all four sides by massive walls (40 feet high<ref name="1.12" />) with above-average magical defenses,<ref>[https://wanderinginn.wordpress.com/2017/05/31/s02-the-antinium-wars-pt-2/ S02 – The Antinium Wars (Pt.2)]</ref> second only to the famous [[Walled Cities]]. Citizenry is only allowed on the walls when accompanied by an officer.<ref name="2.41">[https://wanderinginn.wordpress.com/2017/07/04/2-34/ Chapter 2.41]</ref> The city can be entered through gates from the south,<ref name=":3.23 L">[https://wanderinginn.com/2017/10/14/3-23-l/ Chapter 3.23 L]</ref> north,<ref name=":5.28">[https://wanderinginn.com/2018/10/13/5-28/ Chapter 5.28]</ref> east,<ref name=":6.17 S L">[https://wanderinginn.com/2019/05/18/6-17-s/ Chapter 6.17 S]</ref> and west.<ref name=":4.40 L">[https://wanderinginn.com/2018/05/29/4-40-l/ Chapter 4.40 L]</ref>

The stone-and-wood architecture of Liscor has lots of gently sloping roofs and open rooftops, the streets are either made of dirt or paved with cobblestones<ref name="1.13" />

=== Park & Playground: ===
In the midst of the city there is a park with a playground occupying a part of it. The playground is like a jungle gym; long tunnels of smooth, polished wood connect towers that spiral upwards like a miniature castle. Monkey bars are set twenty feet in the air, above a floor that you have to climb up a long rope just to get to and a slide that curves downwards over thirty feet. The towering construction of wood and stone goes up four stories high. It has separate rooms with glass windows for children to occupy and play in walls with grips and even a huge rope bridge which sways and wobbles.

There are magical spells on the playing area, cast by a Wistram mage and checked upon each year. One of the spells freezes the air around the falling and slows them down to a crawl, until they softly land on the ground.<ref name="2.41" />

==Government==
Liscor is originally ruled by a civilian council made up of the 8 foremost important Drakes in the city. They decide what must be done from time to time<ref name=":2">[https://wanderinginn.wordpress.com/2017/12/16/3-38/ Chapter 3.38]</ref> and take care of bureaucratic measures.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2018/04/07/4-26-m/ Chapter 4.26 M]</ref> Liscor has no nobility.<ref>[[Chapter 5.18 S]]</ref>

#[[Krshia Silverfang]]
#[[Raekea Silversmith]]
#[[Elirr Fultpar]]
#[[Lism Swifttail]]
#[[Jeiss Sielmark]]
#[[Alonna Swiftwing]]

==Military==
Liscor's walls are about 40 feet high<ref name="1.12">[https://wanderinginn.com/2016/09/07/1-12/ Chapter 1.12]</ref> and so fortified that they allowed the Drakes to repel the Antinium host in the First Antinium War for months and later the hosts of the Necromancer. (''Note: Apparently, the Antinium didn't have siege weaponry, while Az'kerash tried to use gigantic Bone Constructs to scale/approach the walls but failed''.) The siege weapons of [[Laken Godart]] were able to damage them, however.

[[City Watch|Liscor's City Watch]] can take care of any monsters that appear, as they are known to have highly skilled and strong members who could be considered Silver-rank or even Gold-rank [[Adventurer|adventurers]], like [[Relc Grasstongue|Relc]]. The City Watch consists of 4000 members, but has been reduced by recent attacks on the city.<ref name="1.44" />

There are several mages in the city but none are particularly strong. Magic isn't much practiced in the area in the first place, making it likely that generally few mages come from Liscor compared to other places.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.wordpress.com/2017/01/08/1-35/ Chapter 1.35]</ref>

If it is being attacked by a foreign army, Liscor can recall its own army, the [[Liscorian Army]], who act as mercenaries for other nations, for appropriate payment. They can field two thousand Drakes and a few hundred Gnolls at any given moment.<ref name="ch.1.23" /> Unless the walls could be breached in a week or less, the army would come running right back and smash them. They are currently located east, fighting near a [[Walled City]].

Lastly, in time of war or during a crises, the Antinium will defend the city and help out with construction and other jobs.

*Deceiver|name = Erin Solstice|image = Erin by Victor Koroedov.png}}'''Erin Solstice '''is the main protagonist of ''The Wandering Inn.'' She is an [Innkeeper] and master-class chess player. She first wandered in to this world on her way to the bathroom and has been stuck ever since.

== Appearance ==
Erin has fair skin, hazel eyes and light brown hair with the slightest orange tint.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2017/03/12/2-01/ Chapter 2.00]</ref> While initially she had short hair, it grew longer, to the point where she can tie it at the back of her head.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2018/10/06/5-26-l/ Chapter 5.26 L]</ref> She would eventually get her hair cut,<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2019/10/26/6-52-k/ Chapter 6.52 K]</ref> but it would still be longer than the start.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2020/01/01/6-68/ Chapter 6.68]</ref> She wears a custom-ordered variation of a t-shirt and pants.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2016/10/16/1-21/ Chapter 1.21]</ref>

== Personality ==
She is quite social, and tends to speak a lot. She is not very deceptive and is bad at keeping secrets from others. She is very politically correct, and goes to great pains to enforce equal rights within the territory of her inn.

If she is threatened, she does not hesitate to fight back, however she is unlikely to throw the first punch.

She loves playing chess, but is unwilling to view it as anything more than a game, thus preventing her from gaining levels for being skilled in it.

== Background ==
After having arrived in this new harsh world, she found an empty inn. With no place to go, she took it as her own and decided to reopen it under the name ''[[The Wandering Inn]], ''hoping it would make it easier for her to survive. With no prior experience of handling an inn, she is often met with hardships and slowly has to accustom herself to a live as an innkeeper.

== Chronology ==

=== '''Volume 1:''' ===
When Erin was going around a corner in her home in Michigan intending to enter the bathroom, she suddenly found herself face to face with a [[Teriarch|Dragon]] in a cave.

After running from the Dragon and some [[Goblins]] who chased her, Erin found [[First Wandering Inn|an abandoned Inn]] and became an [Innkeeper]. She spent the next few days surviving monster attacks and fending off Goblins, before getting her first customers.

For a while, Erin only got the same three customers — [[Relc Grasstongue|Relc]], [[Klbkch]], and [[Pisces Jealnet|Pisces]] — the former two being Senior Guardsman from the local city of [[Liscor]], and the latter being a wandering Necromancer.

At one point, Erin killed a [[Goblin Chieftain]] that nearly raped and killed her. She then befriended and served some Goblins and [[Antinium]], teaching them chess in the process.

In [[Liscor]], the city closest to the Wandering Inn, as Erin called her inn by now, she met several people who also began to help her, prominently among them the [[Drakes]] [[Olesm]] and [[Selys]] as well as the [[Gnolls|Gnoll]] merchant [[Krshia]].

Erin was nearly killed again when Goblins attacked her Inn, and was saved by [[Rags]] — one of her Goblin customers whom she named — and Klbkch, the latter of whom died protecting her. Because of Klbkch’s death, Erin lost the protection of Liscor’s watch, and Relc as a customer.

After Klbkch’s death, Erin met an Antinium Worker whom she helped become the individual [[Pawn]]. She played chess against him and around hundred other Workers that accompanied him in an Immortal Game, gaining the skill [Immortal Moment] as a result. At some point, Erin met the Named Adventurer, [[Gazi Pathseeker]], when she was destroying a [[Shield Spiders|Shield Spider]]’s Nest. Because of that and her [Immortal Moment] Skill, Gazi took an immediate interest in Erin.

After finding her Inn ransacked by a [[Lyonette du Marquin|mysterious robber]], Erin searched for some bodyguards to protect her and her Inn. Unable to afford guards, Pisces, who hasn’t paid for most of his meals, then gave Erin a [[Toren|skeleton]] to be her bodyguard as a form of payment. The skeleton, who was later named Toren, became Erin’s first employee and helped her gather and serve food and drinks to Goblins and Antinium.

After the discovery of a [[Ruins of Liscor|crypt]] a few miles away from Liscor, Adventurers began flocking to the city. Erin, who had only had a skeleton, Goblins, and Antinium, in her Inn for a while, needed to protect herself and her guests from the visiting Human Adventurers.

Eventually, an adventuring group called the [[Horns of Hammerad]] stopped by her Inn and became the first customers to rent a room. When Klbkch’s successor, [[Ksmvr]], maimed Pawn, Erin used [Immortal Moment] to sing and make her songs come to life.

The leader of the Silver Ranked team, the [[Minotaurs|Minotaur]] named [[Calruz]], tought Erin and Toren how to fight after seeing Erin fail to protect Pawn. Erin learned [Power Strike] in a day, and is told that she is talented.

When the expedition by the Horns and several other Silver Ranked teams failed and unleashed [[Skinner]] and thousands of Undead, Erin’s Inn was attacked by the Undead. The Antinium Chess Club, led by [[Knight]], rushed to Erin’s Inn to help protect her.

Erin, Toren, and the individuals managed to fend off the Undead for a while, but were eventually overwhelmed when Skinner himself comes. Erin, who fell under the effects of Skinner’s [Terror] spell, was unable to fight, and Knight died.

After Knight’s death Erin used [Immortal Moment] and played chess against herself for an eternity. She played for what felt like years, until living became fear, and fear became living. When Erin stopped playing, she still felt fear from Skinner’s spell, but she was used to the fear and thus able to fight back.

Using up all of her acid jars, Erin was eventually forced out of her Inn in a desperate charge against Skinner. Erin, Toren, and the remaining Individuals, managed to badly wound Skinner, forcing it to shed its protective shell of dead skin. However, this gave Skinner the speed and mobility it didn’t have before, and almost killed Erin.

Erin was saved by Klbkch, who was revived by the [[Rite of Anastases]] and saved Erin just in time, forcing Skinner to realize it was outmatched and retreat. Rags and her tribe chased the monster down and finished it off, causing all the Undead to leave, ending the attack on Liscor.

The next day, Erin wept for the dead.

=== '''Volume 2:''' ===
Afterwards, Erin met [[Ryoka]], a fellow [[Earthworlders|Earthworlder]], as Ryoka stopped by in her inn. The two girls befriended each other, and rushed to the [[Ruins of Liscor|crypt ruin]] where the [[Horns of Hammerad]] had failed, because they wanted to rescue [[Ceria Springwalker|Ceria]], who was together with [[Olesm]] the only remaining survivors of the expedition.

Exiting the ruins, Erin and Ryoka were greeted by [[Gazi]] who tried to kidnap and bring them to [[Flos]], her [King]. Despite help from many high-leveled natives of [[Liscor]], they could barely prevent Gazi from succeeding; Erin poked out Gazi's main eye and caused her to flee the scene.

After a long brainstorming session, Ryoka left Erin to take care of her own things, while Erin had to face the arriving winter. Her skeleton [[Toren]] blew up the [[First Wandering Inn|old inn]], and Erin's friends helped her reconstruct [[The Wandering Inn|a new inn]] much closer to Liscor. Erin also had her first successes as a salesperson for hamburgers short after.
