[QUOTE="Arrgh! Mark!, post: 2239096, member: 14559"] The Forgotten City of Atlacha-Zerith. Sounds rather Howard. It's basically a broken city, the most powerful of all that was cast down by it's own hedonism and corruption, culminating in "The power of a thousand suns". It's a metropolis of broken glass half hidden by tainted water, under a sky of fire and filled with stabbing, purple lightnings. People who visit are trapped inside, doomed to play out parodies of their lives for millenia. Around, nothing grows, and those who spend much time there grow sick and their children are cursed with sorcerous mutations. Underneath is said to be the Creator himself, the Emperor of Suns, ripped into a thousand pieces by the corrupt summonings of the things from beyond. Or at least, so the characters think. It's a radioactive city once hit by multiple nuclear strikes but remaining still due to it's construction and materials. Below it all is a great living computer, making hallucinations for itself to keep it sane. When the PC's hit a powerful "Box of Sorcery" and inadvertantly pressed the button for down, it's interesting to see the players forced to really roleplay their characters who think that sorcery is taking them to the depths of hell itself. Luckily, the "Bing!" and the "Stopping at floor __" was a bit amusing :D [/QUOTE]
