Cynath – This dark city is base on an island in the Realm of Darkness. The city is fairly large. And in eternal night. The forest that surrounds it is filled with all sorts of creatures. From deformed squirrels to roaming mindless zombies. There is very few if any at all resemblance of normal wildlife. The Shambling forest is its name. When the moon is at it height the very plants glow a dim red. This area will most likely be from levels 1-10. Ranging from the squirrels to roaming mammoth Dire Wolves that hunt in squads of 2-3 or the den of 10 of them hidden deep in cave. That is deep in the forest where only the bravest or the very unfortunate can find it.
The city Cynath is surrounded by a twenty foot tall black stone wall. That has towers every hundred feet. The walls are constantly patrolled and towers manned by skeletons. Whose eyeless sockets are constantly watching the borders. Making safe the city from anyone who wished to bring it harm in the name of justice or righteousness. The city is inhabited by mostly humans. Some other races do lurk about. Vampires rule over as nobility. The immortal upper class as it were. Necromancy is practiced openly and by many in the city. The docks have couple ships at dock. The crew of these black ships are not merchants by any means. They are pirates. Finding safe harbor in the cities docks. Where they are able to offload their loot from their latest conquests. Being that the island is cast in eternal night there are street lamps that light the main street. They give off arcane moonlight casting the city in an ominous dim light.
All streets in the city lead to the center. Along these streets are armor smiths and weapon smiths. Shops that sell the wares of the many pirates frequent the harbor. Some of the shops even sell magical wares. Some of those magical wares beam with unholy auras. And the largest of the shops barter with something far more important, Slaves. To the vampires they are delectable treats. To the necromancers, experimental toys for their dark wills. In the center there lies Bone Castle. It stretches up several stories into the sky. It is here where the Count resides. Ruling with guile and trickery. And when the time is needed with brute force with his unholy powers. Being a vampire of untold arcane power. The streets are patrolled by the skeletons who keep a constant peace. Making sure that things never get to out of hand. And the castle itself are guarded by Vampiric knights whom have sworn immortal oaths to the Count to defend the castle and him as his Black Guard.
