[QUOTE="Shemeska, post: 5068052, member: 11697"] (1e/2e/3e Great Wheel) Grenpoli - the Baatorian city of Diplomacy. If hell had lawyers, and it does, this is where they would all be trained. It's a wonderland of structured, subtle tyranny, with the dehumanizing brutality of hell whitewashed and replaced with gilded splendor for the benefit of mortals and planar travelers. Commerce, trade, and erinyes tutors. (1e/2e/3e Great Wheel) Center - the city at the tangent point of all three layers of the Gray Waste. Ruled by an enigmatic, 'loth blooded tiefling named Dandy Will, segmented out into three iron-walled sections, each of which borders its respective layer of Oinos, Niffleheim, or Pluton on the city's exterior wall. Oddly enough, the 'loths make no attempts to rule the city themselves. (1e/2e/3e Great Wheel) Death-Of-Innocence - one of the few places free of the spiritual leaching and wasting of the Gray Waste. Situated within the frozen forests of Niffleheim, almost adjacent to the border of the domain of Arawn the Celtic God of Death, the buildings and walls are all built from the evergreens of the surrounding forests. All of the trees so used however perpetually weep fresh sap, almost as if the city were bleeding. (1e/2e/3e Great Wheel) Shrakatlor - military capital of the githzerai of Limbo. Imagine a city formed and sustained by the collective mental exertion and wellbeing of its inhabitants, and that's what this city is. If they all blacked out, the city would slowly begin to dissolve back into the roiled chaos of Limbo. And of note, these are the githzerai followers of Zaerith Menyar ag Gith, not the monastic githzerai who actually stand outside of the mainline of their species.
