Welcome to Myrükaşehir, a city perched on the very precipice of existence, straddling the boundary between the Sunless Realms and the Abyss.
Perched on the precarious precipice between the mortal world and the nether realms, a domain exists that defies the boundaries of reality—an elusive pocket dimension known as Myrükaşehir — "The Impossible City". Dominated by the Ejderhakan, this mysterious city has magnetized a diverse array of other fell dwellers over the centuries. Each individual seeking refuge, wealth, or mystery.
Situated deep within the Sunless realms, Myrükaşehir acts as a nexus for interconnected communities. The continuity of their existence relies on a complex network of arcane gates and a labyrinth of perilous passageways. These vital connections face perpetual threats from the looming danger of collapse and the unyielding excavation efforts of creatures lurking in the depths.
Within the Sunless Realm, a profound dichotomy prevails as these communities meticulously distinguish between their refined, orderly city and the ominous, savage expanses enveloping them. In the heart of Myrükaşehir, life and civility defy the odds. However, beyond the city limits, the Sunless Realm unfurls as a lethal expanse, characterized by perilous environs and monstrous inhabitants, creating a brutal and capricious existence for those venturing into its depths.
Whispers of Myrükaşehir have resonated through Dral oral traditions for millennia, manifesting as both cautionary tales and a source of delight for adventurers. These tales narrate the existence of a city that transcends the limits of possibility, beckoning those who yearn for the extraordinary and the perilous. Myrükaşehir, the Impossible City, stands as a testament to the resilience of its inhabitants and the allure of the unknown concealed within its shadowed streets and arcane secrets.
