Park

Park is the westernmost capital of the Lamian Narus League, founded centuries ago by lamia leaders and grown into a labyrinthine port of guilds, shrines, and market wards; rowan copses and a large park shelter artisans and beggars alike; the city balances noble pomp under Na'siya al-Mee with merchant power, sea trade, and strange nightly phenomena in its abbey and piers.
