Backlund appears in Lord of Mysteries.

Backlund, the sprawling capital of the Loen Kingdom, begins as a glittering metropolis of steam and steel in Volume 2, where its fog-choked streets and stratified districts serve as the stage for Klein Moretti’s first forays into mysticism. Over the course of the series, the city transforms from a mere backdrop into a living crucible of political intrigue, supernatural upheaval, and industrial revolution, its skyline and social order repeatedly reshaped by war, divine descent, and the machinations of hidden organizations. By the later volumes, Backlund’s identity is irrevocably altered—its streets scarred by the Aurora Order’s attacks, its nobility decimated by the Great Smog, and its very fabric interwoven with the awakening of ancient gods and the rise of new pathways.
