On a Spiral Staircase Up the Conjurer's Tower
A small window opens up in the rounded tower wall, allowing the outside
lights to illumine the area. A granite spiral stairwell rises up into the
tower of the conjurer, its sides hewn smooth and a grinning elemental head
carved in the top of each step. The bannister is made of ice so cold that
smoke perpetually rises off it, no matter the temperature of the room. The

Inside a Twisted Twilight Tower of Illusion
This mysterious place is like none other in the world of foreboding mortals.
Images flicker into view, then fade again without leaving any trace of it ever
being there. Shadow demons, beasts spawned from the unlight, nocturnal fiends
that doth bring fright. Striking down creatures with their infernal diabolical
hatred. Sparkling light, dazzles, distorts reality, forming illusions, causing
sanity to fade. Beretorn darkness drifts into view, a strange funeral fog can
suddenly be seen rolling in. What is real no longer seems to be clear, scents
linger, yet what the smell is can not be explained. Without warning images of
dragons and devils twist into focus. They seem so real, while for some reason
there seems to be something missing. Music can be heard, the words are muffled
and impossible to understand. For some reason the sound is very relaxing, just
as suddenly the noise is gone. Cascading colors, shifting, swirling, into and
out of view. Another dream forms, screams, infernal deeds, planted vile seeds.
Futile struggle, victims slashed into woe, somber silence, all this caused by
violence. Blood flows out of where life no longer dwells, suffering souls, a
few forlorn fools. Might decides who is to rule, sight lies, everybody dies.
Mercyful Fate laughs as the weak are trampled over by the evil sinister strong.
Necromantia, mystical forces, so many things, eerie light descends, whats real?

This beautiful park encompasses the entire top of the Shr'nn mesa, with the
exception of the area of the keep. Originally established to beautify the
land around the prison stronghold of Caer Tannad, the park also serves to hide
the screams of the prisoners kept therein. Tall maple trees and lush grasses
dominate the landscape, the occasional oak impressing itself in your view.
In stark contrast with the rest of the city, this place of natural beauty is

Keats Street
A major road only by convenience, Keats street biscects the city from north

path for the city guard. As the cities construction neared its end, Lord
Kaynor revised building plans to extend the city farther to the east. This
is the reason none of the buildings exit onto this street. In the years since

The Center of the Great Bazaar
This huge wide open area, probably five hundred feet square, serves as the
focal point of Tharnadia's trade with the surrounding lands. Laid out in a
giant L and paved with cobblestones, this place easily hold two to three
thousand people at any given time during the trading season. Here merchants
of all kinds could set up temporary shops, or sell out of their carts, the
many goods that flow in and out of the great city. This part of the market is
the only place where you can walk without bumping into people. The bazaar
continues on in every direction from here.

The Grand Tharnadian Way
This broad avenue runs through the center of Tharnadia, continuing to the
east of here. There are onyx menhirs standing every five feet along the side
of the road, silent sentinels on its journey through the city. Small crimson
cobblestones make up the roadway, each fitted to its neighbor through a tongue
and groove system. The street looks highly traveled, with buildings flanking
the road as far off as the eye can see. To the west of here, the Great Bazaar,
where visiting merchants peddle their goods, opens up.

Inside the Eastern City Gates
Two huge ironbound gates guard the eastern entrance to Tharnadia here,
standing nearly twenty feet tall. The gates are fastened to huge stone towers
on either side, making this entrance seem very secure and protected. A system
of ropes and pulleys hold the door up, reducing its weight and making it
easily opened and closed by a single operator. The Great Tharnadian Way leads
away to the west into the heart of the city, while the gateway exits out into
a vast grassy plains with mountains in the distance. The wall road leads to
the north and to the south.
An unnatural darkness fills this area.

Outside the Eastern City Gates
Two huge ironbound gates mark the eastern entrance to Tharnadia here,
standing twenty feet high, and surrounded by two fifty foot stone towers. The
city seems quite well protected behind this great display of defensive might,
with arrow slits and defensive measures lining the towers. The city walls
extend to the north and south for quite a distance, completely surrounding the
city up to the large cliffs upon which the twin keeps are built. A dirt road
leads away to the east toward a stone ramp and the plains beyond.

The Road Leading From Tharnadia
This road leads away from Tharnadia, toward the lands east. This section
of earth is lower than the areas flanking the Tharnadian countryside, the
result of an earthquake many centuries ago. Green grasses flank the road, and
a small forest opens to the south and north. The road continues west toward
the city gates, and east toward a stone ramp.
