Lo Lanno is the biggest and most important city in [[The Cape Bay]]. It is the capital of the nation as well as where tourists and immigrants flock to to enjoy the hot summers, beautiful cityscape and stunning beaches and nature. The city is also home to countless skyscrapers with over 170 completed buildings, however it is still second to [[Port Adela]] just in [[The Cape Bay]], which has over 300.
