'''Tizca''' was the capital city of the world [[Prospero]].
==Overview==
[[Image:Tizca.jpg|thumb|right|Tizca before its destruction{{Fn|4b}}]]
Described as one of the greatest cities of mankind{{Fn|1}}, Tizca (also known as the '''City of Light''') was a center for knowledge and beauty. Dominated by massive pyramid shaped structures, Tizca was designed in a radial pattern from the center to maximize order and asthetic beauty. All buildings, even industrial structures, were designed to be functional as well as pleasing to the eye. The pyramids of Tizca were reflective, designed to mirror the sky to enhance the beauty of the city's skyline. Located on the coast, Tizca also had a large port for ocean vessels.{{Fn|2a}}

The part of the city closest to the coast was known as Old Tizca, an irregular layout of streets and buildings that existed before Magnus designed the rest of the city in a more orderly pattern. Old Tizca was built on a gentle slope that led down to the sea and was where many of the city's diversions were found.{{Fn|2e}}
