Sanguis Urna is a sprawling walled city that harvests necrotic woods and fungi for export while the Vascellum family rules from a blood-stained manor; lich-matriarch influence hangs like a shadow over every guild and alley, and lamps burn a sickly red at night to keep the Blight Spirits at bay.
A city built on blood and bark where the dead supervise the living.
