Kuu-Allaa was a Goblin city which flourished in the Barrier Range during the late First Chaotic Period of the Mage Wars. According to legend, Kuu-Allaa was a prosperous, thriving city that stood for a thousand years, before being destroyed in "a single night and a day of misfortune". Modern excavations of the site indicate it was "more like half an hour, tops."

City

Kuu-Allaa is estimated to have housed, at it's height, more than eight million goblins, and is said to have produced goblin culture's finest artists and poets(sadly, no goblin poetry has yet been found, though many hope some will be discovered in the Library of Arindell). The city was the center of a vast trading hub, and sat atop extensive Carenocarbide mines. The mines were the source of all of Kuu-Allaa's wealth, and the preffered building material for the goblins. The substance, when ground into a powder and mixed with water, would set hard as stone and could easily be shaped in forms.

The goblins constructed three massive ziggurats, with various accounts given of their names. The tallest was seven stories and may have been as much as four hundred feet high. The ziggurats were connected by a series of causeways that linked to the road system, all made of hardened Carenocarbide
