Only now are explorers truly discovering how ancient the city really is and unearthing details of its varied history. It’s a place where people are as concerned with what lies below the ground as they are with what’s above. This is like no place else in the world.Kahabro lies in the world of Deismaar within the bounds of a very old theocracy unsure of whether or not it has toppled. Five different Princes claim the throne, and portions of the once great realm cleave off like icy shards from a melting glacier. This decaying society looks upon previous centuries and sees grander, more civilized and certainly better days. Progress seems on the decline—skills and lore that people possessed just a few hundred years ago are lost now.But this is not a time to lose hope altogether. This civilization, older than our own real-world cultures, is more sophisticated than our own in some ways, but less so in others. A myriad of races and peoples have come and gone, creating an intricate (and sometimes confusing) amalgam. Good struggles against evil, and law against chaos. But the shadows only threaten the light— they do not yet consume it.As the theocracy of Goth Moran dies, Kahabro (for years an independent settlement on the edge of civilization) is quickly becoming the center of something much larger than itself. No one yet knows exactly what, but something is happening in Kahabro. Something new stirs in the city ... and that something is very, very old.Welcome to the CityKahabro is a bustling city of some considerable size; in fact it is the largest city of the known world. It is the main port of call for coasters trading between Aglador and Goth Moran, being built on and around rocky bluffs where the Carnahk River and Stygian Flow meet. Like most large settlements in Goth Moran, Kahabro is built over an older city which had itself been built on the ruins of a yet earlier one. The site has been continuously inhabited for ages, far longer than any known records tell. Kahabro has been around since the advent of the Zentish Empire of the First Age, and throughout the Second Age during the rise of the Southern Empire of Pharazon. The place was established to serve as the port for an important fortress built at the time of Goth Moran’s foundation, a fortification called the Red Citadel. Kahabro lies in a cool, rainy coastal region with harsh winters. It serves as an important port belongs to Goth Moran, although a growing faction in the city feels that Kahabro should declare itself independent...Read more at <a href="http://deismaar.pbwiki.com/Kahabro" target="_blank">http://deismaar.pbwiki.com/Kahabro</a></blockquote>
