Grizburg

Grizburg - City of Shadows and Steel

  In the shadow of the Wraithspire Mountains, where the toxic mists of the Kalnith Jungle meet industrial smog, stands Grizburg - a sprawling metropolis infamous for its arms trade and criminal enterprises. The polluted River Sko divides the city, its chemically-tainted waters serving both industry and commerce.  

Major Districts

  The Forge Quarter - Dominates the western section, with countless chimneys belching smoke into the perpetually dark sky. Home to the city's renowned weapon-crafting industry.   The Rustwater District - Named for the chemically-tainted river, houses the infamous Dark Market. A sprawling bazaar where everything from mundane weapons to forbidden artifacts can be purchased.   The Alchemists' Quarter - Glows with an eerie phosphorescence from various experiments. The air is thick with strange fumes, and the buildings twist in impossible ways from magical exposure.   The Warren - A vertical maze of interconnected structures where most citizens dwell. Status is determined by elevation, with higher levels being more prestigious.   The Shadowspire District - Home to the Council of Thirteen and the city's power brokers. Architecture shows more refinement while maintaining goblin functionality.

"Grizburg ain't no city; it's a bloody chessboard. Only the ruthless walk away whole. Ye play by the rules of steel and shadow, or ye end up in the gutters, feedin' the rats." — Slazgar Two-Eyes
