Overview
Mirmozha is the political and ceremonial heart of Lagadagr, built directly into the massive Yggdrasil tree at the island’s center. The city serves as the seat of the High King/Chief and hosts the Festival of Blades every three years - a tournament where leadership is determined through combat.
The structure consists of a large longhouse built into the tree trunk with a coliseum arena in the upper branches. During festivals, hundreds of citizens gather to witness challenges for kingship. The architecture seamlessly integrates with the living tree, with roots, branches, and wood forming natural chambers and passages.
For six years, Mirmozha was the seat of King Iler Ruthgar’s tyrannical rule. His death at the hands of the party during the Festival of Blades marks a new era under Cara’s leadership, restoring hope to the island.

Theories:
- Curse affecting the coliseum itself
- Devil Fruit power from someone in crowd
- Mental manipulation or hypnosis
- Spiritual attack
- Something Eric saw in specific location
- Connection to Iler’s powers (he had Swamp Logia even then?)
Investigation:
- Cara knows what she saw (hasn’t fully shared)
