Urrakia,the island of Walldryx
Urrakia is an isolated island that is known for its picturesque and unique biodiversity. There we discover original creatures called “Walldryx”. Walldryx are a type of bipedal or quadrupedal dragon with two large ears and a plumed tail. This varies between certain species which may have wings or feathers. The capital of this island is the main city of Tauraldo which has retained much of its traditional architecture! There is nightlife in some areas of Urrakia such as Kastel, Tauraldo, Fongba and Vidalos-Valley. Some locations and events only take place at night. In particular the appearance of Walldryx Nocturnes.
Urrakia is divided into 6 Regions and several isolated islands. And in the six regions, there is a great Guardian Walldryx who rules and protects its populations.
Kastell to the west with its castles, its dungeons, its medieval and troglodyte villages without forgetting its Ancient Theater!
Fongba with its temple and the sphinx.
Réos in the northeast with its volcanic landscapes, granites and sandstones.
Tauraldo in the southeast, the capital with its amphitheater, its historic center and its culture.
Vidalos-Valley, the green lung of Urrakia and its waterfalls, its forests, its mountain ranges and its large ranch.
Tamao and its mangroves.
The other isolated islands (accessible by boat)
The lost island and its little paradise island, its palm trees, its beach, the emerald blue lagoon.
Dragoules Island (Martyr Island) and its martyr village.
Jura Island: with its Jurassic landscapes and there are multiple species of Dinosaur-like Walldryx.
Carbonic Island: And its coals as far as the eye can see
Haunted Island: North of Kastell lies an isolated island with a Haunted Castle.
Erable Island (The Red Forest): Known for its large vermilion red forest.
Despite the island's overwhelming charm and beauty, Urrakia is today a highly endangered island. The sometimes extreme climate "hurricane, torrential rain, heatwave etc", theDragoons and theWalldryx Charcoal-Ardent.
Tauraldo*
The most urbanized region of the island. It is a young, dynamic region, rich especially in the heart of the city and very modern and accessible by public transport (Train, Bus, Tram, Car, Bike, Metro). Tauraldo has two town centers.
One has historic architecture with half-timbered and stone houses and its amphitheater which dates back thousands of years. This part of this city center is more isolated and close to Vidalos of the current new city center.
The second city center is theheart of the city and in total contrast. A center focused on modernity and new technologies. Nearby is a large beach and locals come in numbers to swim. This is the region of the Human Walldryx. But we can discover many Walldryx from other regions. Its historical monument is the large statue of a Human Walldryx.
But, in the suburbs of Tauraldo there are abandoned neighborhoods and many delinquent Walldryx Humans are rampant in these neighborhoods.
There is a so-called "suburb" town called Crackers-Ville. There are many sensitive places.
This town is less touristy than Tauraldo but it is very urbanized. It is the second largest suburb in the Tauraldo region.
At night, numerous nightclubs, concerts and other nocturnal activities enliven the Tauraldo region. The Amphitheater organizes tournaments or shows. On the program, fights, challenges and challenges for the most seasoned opponents.
Crackers-Ville*
Nicknamed "the poor suburb of Tauraldo" which is located west of Tauraldo. And it is the second most populated city in Urrakia. It is considered a very poor area of the capital. The only tourist attraction is a large marquee. Here, there are concerts, shows hosted by Pils.
The city has many public housing projects, poorly maintained streets and buildings with tags and many delinquent Crackerois causing trouble for residents. They say that the Crackerois are brainless people, tough, arrogant and cold.
But many citizens live here because they have no other choice. It's twice cheaper than in Tauraldo. Fortunately, there are numerous public transport options to reach Tauraldo by bus, train, roads, etc. But, it’s often a hassle!
However, Crackers-Ville has an advantage. The city is very close to nature. Indeed, further west is the countryside. We are approaching Vidalos-Valley. During weekends and holidays, many Crackerois go to the countryside to spend some time. But some people don't like it because they will have to put up with the noise of the countryside!
In short, it’s work to sleep! And for those who are lucky, they can spend a weekend in the countryside after a long drive!
*The name Crackers-Ville as well as Tauraldo were already present in my first Crackers universe from 2011.
