Nazcaä (also known as The Lost Continent) is a continent located in the west of the the Summerlands, in the south-westerly corner of the world. It is the main landmass of The Spring Realm. The kingdom of Nazcaä had three great cities: Nazcaä, Tak'al, and Itzos. All that remains of the civilization is the Ara Memoriae, in the former site of the city of Nazcaä. It is shrouded in fog before the Ash Cloud falls on the world, and even after the mists clear, the whole continent is protected from intruders.
Only Tengri may trespass on Nazcaä, and the dragon may only land on the dragon symbol etched in the ground. Oliver may use Travel to reach Nazcaä, but only after he locates the Ara Memoriae.
Lore[]
Ten thousand years before the events of Ni no Kuni, Nazcaä was country with magic and advanced technology. The people lived in luxury but desired more, starting a century long war known as the Wizard Wars. During the war they would create the Magimech. The war was ended in a matter of days by a Wizard wielding two wands, he would became the king of Nazcaä and given the title Wizard King.
The Wizard King would rebuild Nazcaä and restore peace. However, his Council of Twelve would betray him and assassinate him. The next in line would be the Wizard King daughter Cassiopeia but she was too young and was taken advantage of by Council of Twelve. In a misguided attempt to solve all of the kingdom's problems, Cassiopeia discover a Forbidden Spell in her Wizard's Companion. Unaware of the side effects, Cassiopeia cast Ashes of Resurrection, only to have backfire when everyone that the ash touched transformed them into wretches and monsters. The entire kingdom destroyed itself as the populace tore themselves apart. With Nazcaä's annihilation due to the Forbidden Spell, Cassiopeia ultimately fell into despair due to the solitude stretching on as centuries passed. At some point, Cassiopeia's Wizard's Companion and her first wand was sent to Ichi no Kuni.
In the ruin, the only thing to survival were the Magimech who started wandering around the world seeking their fallen masters. The wandering Magimech would eventually break down and become waystones. Their intention being to lead their masters back to Nazcaä.
As centuries passed, the only remains of Nazcaä would be their magimech and waystones, tales of the Wizard King, and the Wizard's Companion. However, their connections to Nazcaä were forgotten.
