Ocreum

Ocreum is built entirely within the hollowed-out ribcage of a gargantuan, petrified beast from a forgotten age. The massive calcified ribs serve as natural arches and defensive walls for the stone-shingled houses below. Life here revolves around the Great Quarry, where miners extract rare white marble and glowing sun-stone. It is a place of hard labor, gray shadows, and surprising architectural beauty born of necessity.

The air is thick with limestone dust and the rhythmic clinking of hammers.
