Ank Moran

Ank Moran is a vertical masterpiece of gothic marble and sleek obsidian. The city is tiered by status, with the Ivory Heights housing the sprawling University of Wizards and government manors. Below lies the Gilded Quarter, where shops cater to the needs of wealthy adventurers. At the base are the Bone Yards, a massive industrial sprawl of graveyards and factories where the unliving labor in eerie, coordinated silence for their living masters.

Ank Moran is a vertical masterpiece of gothic marble and sleek obsidian. The city is tiered by status, with the Ivory Heights housing the sprawling University of Wizards and government manors. Below lies the Gilded Quarter, where shops cater to the needs of wealthy adventurers. At the base are the Bone Yards, a massive industrial sprawl of graveyards and factories where the unliving labor in eerie, coordinated silence for their living masters.

The air carries a faint scent of formaldehyde and expensive incense. Grand marble facades are often marred by the rhythmic, mechanical scraping of skeletal workers. While the elite enjoy a life of leisure and study, the commoners walk the streets with a hurried, downward gaze, avoiding eye contact with the silent, porcelain masked undead that perform every menial task in the city.
