- "Wizard, have you heard of the land of Catmandu? No, I did not think so. It is reclusive by nature."
- ―Qismah Shasa to the Wizard[src]
Catmandu is a region in the outer reaches of the world of MooShu. Considered reclusive, Catmandu was originally settled by Qhats and is home to the monastic Order of the Sacred Yarn. It has long been contested by the worlds of MooShu, Mirage, Rajah, and others.[1] Sometime following Dasein's sacrifice and the subsequent destruction of the World Synthesizer, the region was visited by a Novus Shard which floated in the sky above.[2] The Shard became known as the Stone of Heaven by the residents of MooShu, and the Wizard was sent by the Arcanum to go to Catmandu with the intent of reaching the Shard and gauging its effect.[1]
