Zirkus Circus

Zirkus is a traveling city filled with the performers. All kinds of different trolls in the hemospectrum find a special kind of welcome if they go here. This is a place mostly of the outcast, those who lusus died or whose hives were destroyed or even those who run from certain death at the hands of… well, very few of them will say. But they do run.

All the trolls here have some kind of talent they have developed, whether one they were born with or one that they taught themselves. They travel from place to place, living on the backs of hoofbeasts and camping out during the day in thick, dark tents, using sopor slime sleeping bags and portable tubs to sleep peacefully.

When in a town, village or city, they set up large tents and perform inside them, charging other trolls fees to get in. Sometimes they’ll barter. But not always.

The leadership of Zirkus is always changing, with the most talented trolls taking charge of where they go until another group upstages them. These trolls are sometimes older than one would expect to be living on Alternia still and several lowbloods have managed to stay hidden until their deaths, although no midblood or highblood has ever stayed that long.

It is a strange place to live, unlike almost any other place on Alternia. But to those that call Zirkus home, there’s no other home like it.

(The current leader is Acrota Trepaz, a brownblood with a talent for swinging on a high-flying roped-tied stick and her matesprit and performing partner, Tsitra Phlyng.)
