Biringan means "The Black City" or The Invisible City in Waray, the local language for “Hanapan ng mga nawawala” in Filipino and “Birilngan han mga nawawara” in Waray – where one finds the lost

It is a mythical city in the Philippines, and you need to go through a portal to get there. It is said that the portal is located around the island of Samar in the Eastern Visayas Region. The other way of entering the hidden city, one must be invited by a citizen (a fair maiden engkantada, or handsome mestizo engkanto according to locals from Samar) of the realm. Strange-folk from Biringan are known to prowl around Samar as human seeming people and when they fancy some local barrio lass or lad, they invite them for a visit to Biringan, and most often the poor kids opt not to leave the splendor of the black city and return to their poor old Samar, backwater towns.According to the local folklore, the population of Biringan comprises supernatural beings: the Engkantos ("enchanted beings"), and their progeny with the humans. The engkantos are described as shapechangers who can take human form. In their human form, they are said to lack a philtrum between their nose and lips.

A small number of people claim to have seen the city. Some seafarers have claimed to have seen a "dazzling city of light" on moonless nights, for a few minutes. They have described it as a beautiful city with high-rise buildings and other magnificent structures equipped with advanced technology. According to folk stories, most of the people who claim to have seen the city have been the victims of demon possessions.

I made this map for the Nether Minecraft Build Contest. And I built the small scale version of famous skyscrapers around the world. Idea stolen from PixlPlex. I took a lot of time Terraforming the nether for this project: My own interpretation of the Enchanted City of Biringan.
