Aavad’un

Aavad’un. A sprawling city at the edge of the charted world. A beacon of civilization in perpetual motion. A lone metropolis on the border of the Ammoran Kingdom and the vast, featureless desert to the east.
A mecca of depravity and despair.
From a distance, Aavad’un’s imposing gothic monoliths dominate the landscape with their harsh, unrelenting geometry: sharp metal spires, stark black against a pallid sky. But closer in, the blinding desert sun sets the upper districts aglow, turning the Ra’kiya Ward into a sparkling mosaic of colour and craftsmanship. Temples to the gods hang in the air next to universities and elaborate markets, suspended all by the magics which power the city; at night, their silhouettes dance in the soft light of twinkling arcane fires.
Below the Ward, twisting streets crawl over each other in an endless twilight. Between the shadows cast and the setting sun, the lowest levels of the city exist under a darkling gloom. There, in the malignant guts of the city, a chorus of breaking glass and breaking bone accompany arias of pain and symphonies of violence. Crime lords and corrupt officials carve out their petty empires in the lawless gutters and the rich, the law, the pure, and the pious all feign blindness.
This contemptible home to the forgotten and the spurned, this place where angels and paladins fear to tread, this is the Gloaming.
And this is where your adventure begins.
