Stracili

Stracili, as it's currently designed has been around for around 100 years, but originally built sometime during the Imperium of Life's control of the area, using blocks of stone mined by dwarves thousands of years ago. The former ziggurat that sat within the center of the administrative district was deconstructed, with the stones, enchanted against planar entities, built into the cities wall at strategic points, with a few remaining stones used to build the druidic circle within the temple district.

The bulk of the remaining stones within the city were put towards both the wall and sewer system, which spills into the Underdark from the industrial district and is warded against entry.
