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 non-stop rainfall. During this flooded period, powerful monsters populate the flooded waters.<ref>[[Chapter 5.03]]</ref>

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 house even more inhabitants inside its boundaries - and the population has dramatically increased after the dungeons around the city were discovered.

The [[Liscorian Army]] was commanded by General [[Sserys]] and was 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 besieged 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 a longer time, and Sserys died at the end of the war.<ref name=":3" />

In early summer, the housing situation of Liscor had deteriorated so much that the population demanded to elect a new council who would sort out the problems by expanding the city walls. This led 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]])''

No longer as isolated from other Drake settlements thanks to the road bypassing the Bloodfields, Liscor established contact with the city of [[Hectval]]. However, those talks broke down due to Hectval's treatment of Gnolls. In retaliation for the perceived insult, Hectval sent a group to attack Liscor which resulted in the 'death' of Erin Solstice. This prompted Liscor to declare war on Hectval and raise a new army to wage it. ''(see: [[Liscor-Hectval War]])''
