Toragay

Toragay, originally named Calgaround, was a city in the Kingdom of Elphegort at the foot of Merigod Plateau and the residence of the noble Felix and later Blankenheim Family. It was subjected to the genocide caused by Marchioness Margarita, causing the city and its population to fall into ruin.

Early History
At some point, Calgaround was founded near the foot of Merrigod Plateau and became a major city in the Kingdom of Elphegort. Around EC 141, Mikulia Greeonio and the feudal lord ruling over the region were engaged. The day before the ceremony, Mikulia killed her former prostitution handler, who was visiting the town, to hide her past from the townspeople and disposed of him in a well. Three years later, Mikulia also killed her son, who had come searching for his mother, and disposed of him in the same well.

Reign of Evil
During the Green War in EC 500, Toragay was captured by the Lucifenian army and the earl was arrested. The city was then converted into the Lucifenian military's headquarters for their campaign against remnants of the Elphegort army. After the breakout of the Lucifenian Revolution, Lucifenia's occupation ended and the town was recaptured by Elphegort forces. Sometime after, the Felix Family lost its noble title and was usurped by the Blankenheim Family.

Toragay Serial Killings
In EC 609, Marchioness Margarita Blankenheim murdered her philandering husband, Caspar, with the poison, Gift. Shortly afterwards, the depressed Margarita gave her parents the same poison. After killing over twenty-four victims with her poison, the Elphegort government initiated a lockdown on traffic between Toragay and the capital, Aceid. Margarita then eradicated everyone in the city before committing suicide with her own poison. A detachment sent from the Freesis Foundation arrived shortly after and discovered that Toragay became a ghost town.

Conceptualization and Origin

 * The name Toragay may be a pormanteau of the Japanese terms トラ (tora), meaning "trouble", and (gei), meaning "happy" or "gay"; the name of the Felix family that presided over the town and its most notable member, Margarita, also means "happy".
 * In conjunction with its plateau, Merrigod (メリゴド), the town's original name of Calgaround (カルガランド) may be a subtle reference to the English term "Merry-Go-Round" (メリーゴーランド).
 * The romaji for Calgaround (Karugarando) may also reference the Japanese adverb 軽々 (karugaru), meaning "lightly, easily, or carelessly", a possible reference to Sloth of the Seven Deadly Sins.

Curiosities

 * As a characteristic feature of the city, most of the buildings in Toragay were colored red.
