The Obscure ArchivesWelcome to Alta-Plana the place on the internet with all the archives of Les Cités Obscures / Duistere Steden / Obscure Cities. The archives about the work of François Schuiten and Benoît Peeters has already 1426 pages and is growing day by day. Alta-Plana was founded in November 747 AT, after the Convention Von Amelunxen decided that all archives had to be centralized in one special place. Alta-Plana is located west of Urbicande and Alaxis, mid-way between the two in longitude. The founding of Alta-Plana was not an immediately success. It took a long time to sort out if the documents have to be archived in alphabetical, chronological or logical order. Even after personal intervention of Governor Arkhalsky the chaos remained. It was after a long time that Joseph Le Perdriel brought structure in the chaos by implementing a system that allows documents to be archived in alphabetical, chronological and logical order, all at the same time. This system made it possible to lift the embargo on information and open the Alta-Plana archives for everyone.
