Almanack

Almanack is the name of both a city and a giant whelk that creates and contains the city.

Whelk
Almanack appears to be genderless, with six arms, peach colored tendrils, a delicate face, pink or deep emerald (it keeps changing) eyes and long silky, rosewater candy-colored hair similar to cotton candy.

It feeds off the need of those who live inside it, which pools into bowls around it, in which Almanack dips its tendrils and sucks it up, thusly fulfilling the need of whomever wanted it.

It is very loving, open to all, and regards any who come inside its shell as one of its own, regardless of how their stay may be.

City
Almanack is home to the Stationary Circus, the College of Lunar Arts, Grand Moonflower Lawn, and the Lopsided Library.

There appears to be little regard to the law of gravity in Almanack, as buildings, fountains, gardens and other things that can be found in a city are not only on the ground, but up the walls and even on the ceiling, covering pretty much every available surface. There is even a pearly river that flows across a wall, without spilling over onto the floor.

All structures are made of mother-of-pearl, the same material as the shell of Almanack, as everything in the city was pushed up from the shell itself.

Almanack provides multiple transportation services, Public Tram, Lunar Pelican, Regularly Scheduled Trapeze, and the Taxicrab, a crab with a chair on its back that moves extremely fast, arriving to a passenger before the person even realizes they need a ride.
