Carnalia

Carnalia, heart of the free-love movement and famed for its unapologetic, carnal culture, flourishes at the junction of four mighty realms. Merchants, pleasure-seekers, and curious wanderers weave through markets scented with exotic incense, while performers and paramours ply their expertise beneath silk banners. Though decadence abounds, intrigue and secrets lie masked beneath the city’s festive veil.
