Ikemmu

It is unique in that it exists in both the Underdark and the Shadowfell at the same time. There was a portal known as the veil between the Shadowfell and the Prime Material Plane.

Demographics

The majority of inhabitants in the Underdark section of the city were humans and dwarves while only Shadar-kai or permanent residents were able to pass into the Shadowfell section of the city. Because the city was originally built by cloakers it was built vertically rather than horizontally. Since Shadar-kai can teleport through shadows, the vertical layout of the city was not an inconvenience. The city is also home to many dark elves.

Government

Tensions are always on the rise between several residing drow factions, the fortress is a communal place of worship and where the leader (Uwan) and his advisers reside and maintain the fragile peace.

Infrastructure

There were four huge towers in Ikemmu: Pyton, Makthar, Athanon, and Hevalor. Tower Makthar was the tower of justice and it was from the top of this tower that Uwan pronounced judgements. Tower Athanon housed the city's military barracks and Tower Pyton was the heart of the trading district.

History

Ikemmu was first settled by Shadar-kai three generations ago after an unknown catastrophe befell its previous inhabitants.
