Raskburg

Raskburg is an underground city located beneath Serkonos. The mysterious subterranean settlement defies expectations, such as the wide variety of races that occupy the city, to include orcs, who aren't even allowed to set foot on Foregrish soil in the first place.
The entire city is arranged as a single vertical tunnel capped at its peak by a bowl-like structure which other corners of the Serkonos sewer flow into. The tunnel itself has homes, shops, and other buildings carved into its sides, billowing out horizontally into the underground, with many stretching bridges connecting different ends of the citadel.
There are massive glyphs carved into the upper walls of the tunnel, noting direction in forms of a massive 'N,' W,' E,' and S,' respectively. The city itself seems to be protected from magic intrusion by a massive object situated some levels down on a well-formed and sculptured bridge known as the Crucible of Magnux, which also provides artificial sunlight at a rotating schedule, shining extra brightly in a direction and slowly rotating in match with a 24-hour clock. Far below, there appears to be the trunk of a great tree that now grows into the stone supporting the Crucible's cradle.
The city of Raskburg seems to be unguarded, and there's even an unwritten challenge for anyone who enters to attempt to take the Crucible for themselves, as it clearly carries with it some awesome powers, however, there is at the same time an unwritten agreement between the denizens of the city to descend on those foolhardy or brazen enough to take the heart of this haven for their own purposes.
