Title: Into the Cess and Citadel
Description: *Roads beyond counting and buildings that block the very sun. A city that stretches without measure and whose secrets are without number...*
*A sprawling metropolis, built on the bones of cities long forgotten, it is as every bit as colorful and chaotic as it is deadly and unforgiving. It is ruled from the glistening Spires above; The Nobles, demigods of flesh made gold, who’s tyrannical whims ebb and flow like bloody tides across the city. Yet, as tall as the city towers above, so too does it descend below, where dark and terrible things roil with hunger beneath the cobblestone streets...*

*This city eats people. Never forget that.*
