Geography
Grand Chokmah lies at the northern tip of the Rugnican continent. It has around 600,000 inhabitants, making it one of the largest cities of Auldrant.

History
The protagonists are taken to Grand Chokmah after they are captured by the military following some incidents in Theor Forest. In the city, they are greeted by Aslan Frings, and a little later, the group splits because Fon Master Ion wants to remove the curse slot that the God-General Sync placed on Guy Cecil back in Chesedonia. Anise Tatlin stays with Ion while the rest of the group has an audience with Emperor Peony to discuss the imminent fall of St. Binah into the Qliphoth. The group then reunites and rushes to St. Binah.
