Located in southwestern Chandrar, it takes three days of near-constant flight via magical carpet to reach A'ctelios from Germina. 

The denizens of A'ctelios harvest the flesh of their home for consumption, once they are of age to willingly choose to eat it. Currently, all five of its eyes, brain and parts of its upper body have been hollowed out and are inhabited by its citizens. There are multiple districts with distinct communities within the great corpse.<ref name=":2">[https://wanderinginn.com/2023/06/04/interlude-trade-and-travel/ Interlude - Trade and Travel]</ref> The flesh never rots, as it is "made of magic and time",<ref name=":1">[[Chapter 7.09 K]]</ref> and is compared to Dragonflesh, which has some similar qualities.

The residents undergo physical changes from eating the flesh of their home, such as extended lifespans, pointed teeth, or claws. They may also gain the [Fleshchosen] suffix to their class. However, they need to regularly consume A'ctelios's flesh; otherwise their hunger can grow to the point of insanity and start to consume any flesh, living or dead.<ref>[[Chapter 9.23 GGGGGGGGG]]</ref> Inhabitants may reach a second stage of transformation, called a true awakening, and such events are considered cause for great joy and alarm. Those transformed citizens are sometimes sent deeper into the city, and the other Shield Kingdoms are quietly informed. Many true awakenings is a very bad sign.<ref name=":2" />
