A relic of the Human Kingdom’s first and only attempt at expansion into the lands and waters beyond the Haguriku Mountains, Hikame was once a bustling small city on Agrarian Archipelago’s coast and the edge of Hizaru Magakt.

Founded originally as a settlement for watching and guarding the capital’s northern border, years of inactivity combined with a newfound interest in the seas developed a dangerous complacency within the city, rendering it vulnerable to a large Beastkin ambush long after they believed the area was safe, leaving the city in ruin and few survivors in its wake. The few reclamation efforts following the siege proved unsuccessful, met with swift and brutal defeat, leading to the abandonment of Hikame and what it accomplished.

In its current form, Hikame remains a desolate and overgrown remnant of the city it once was, retaken by nature and overrun with various tribes of Beastkin. Although a few reckless scavengers dare to try their hand at exploring the area, official attempts at recovering the area or the lost research and resources that were in it have not resumed since their defeats in the past.
