Blackswan

Formerly Rhysilome, Blackswan is the home of Kimun'aza. Originally, Rhysilome was a beautiful city, consisting of thousands of canals and fountains, criss-crossing the streets. Left to ruin after the Scourge, Kimun'aza, with her love of beauty and heightened ego, has set restoring its former glory. Rebuilding most of the ruined bridges and statues (in black obsidian, rather than the original marble), she had dedicated the site as a monument to her own greatness. Statues of her stand in every square, and black swans dominate every tower. Fountains and canals have been restored to their original beauty. Blackswan Keep, her personal fortress, is located in the heart of the city, a beautiful palace, decorated with statues of herself, and black swans. Once a stately home, the interior is lavishly decorated, and modelled on that of the Ilman royalty.
Due to their inherent ugliness, her Orc band, The Orcs of Swan Fountain, are kept behind a great wall she calls The Black Curtain. The Orcs are more than happy to stay clear of the city, which they find uncomfortable and embarrassing (as well as their name, which they change to Orcs of Blood Fountain when she's not listening). The centre of the city, away from the Orcpits beyond the Curtain, is a beautiful place. Its streets are mostly-empty, save for the occassional 'pretty' Kimun'aza has sent to run an errand.
