Death's Gate

Death's Gate is a coastal city built as a potential trading hub. The city is a refuge on the edge ofThe Wild Savannah, where the Fang of Ghyran can be seen across the waters. There is a sense of being at the edge of the world, with the tall grasses of the Savannah swaying in the distance, clear cut away from the newly founded settlement. In founding the settlement, Samhain's warriors tried to burn away the grasslands. The plants, however, proved incredibly resilient, quickly regrowing in the aftermath of the firestorms. The only way to remove the roots. These extended meters down into hard baked, rocky soil,and once enough room was cleared for the first few buildings, the Bonereapers found it easier to extend their settlement into the sea rather than further inland. They built massive walls, and began digging a moat which extended into the sea. From beneath their new buildings they began to excavate tunnels straight down, staircases deep beneath the earth. From these catacombs, they began to excavate directly under the sea.

The catacombs of Death's Gate were built in snaking, up and down patterns, so that when the seawater came in, there would be pockets of air. This provided a respite from many aqueous predators, as well as the potential for future excavations. From here the population began to build underwater buildings, providing a sprawling defense which could attack any ships coming towards the port from beneath, as well as the traditional forces garrisoning the town walls. Death's gate, at its foundation, was built to be a gateway to the Savannah, an oasis in an otherwise uninhabitable area. It boasts extremely tall watchtowers, to see across the water and into the Savannah, as far as possible. The Gate is intended as a transition to the Savannah, or the Serpent's Breath. It's supposed to be the transition from one deadly hellscape (a wet one) to another (a dry one). Eventually, the goal is to carve a path through the savannah to reach the Wild Lake of Ghur, but this will take many months to achieve.
