_________________________________________________
Notes: This planar city is described in Dragon Magazine #322 (pages 14-20). My version is different in that there aren't as many drow in the city and the city exists on the demiplane known as the Darklands not the Plane of Shadow of the core cosmology. The city is located near a portal that leads to the Tarterian Depths of Carceri. It is rumored that a second portal leading to the Gray Waste is hidden somewhere in the city, but no one has been able to confirm that such a portal exists.

 

[Knightfall]

My version of Balefire has a Shadar-kai ruler instead of a drow ruler due to the rareness of drow this this cosmology. Therefore, the racial demographics for my Balefire are different from those list in Dragon #322.

Note: I also changed the race for the grand master of the Shadowcrafters to a githyanki from a tiefling, and I also added a new organization — the Watchers.

Cheers!

_
Notes: This planar city has a two-paragraph writeup on page 68 of DRAGON Magazine #321. My version of Conil-a-Ald exists on a massive, floating earthberg in the Darklands and has a fixed planar portal to the Starry Skies of Linnunrata, a new upper plane in this cosmology, located in the heart of the city. Celestials and half-celestial visitors are common in this city and come and go at all hours.

 

[Knightfall]

Okay, so I'm looking for NPC suggestions to populate Conil-a-Ald including ideas for Chyseria's seven half-celestial children. Since the write-up in Dragon magazine was so limited, I figured I'd flesh out the city a little more.

The city's main features include "tower's of spun glass, streets of opal, and cool breezes that seem alive with the echo of distant songs."

The city is devoted to music and the arts, which is why the city would have a chapterhouse for the Society of Sensation. However, I want more organizations for the city.

Also, note that violence is prohibited in the city, but my Conil-a-Ald will be more allowing than detailed in Dragon #321. After all, demiplanes can be dangerous places, even in Conil-a-Ald.
