City of 1000 Dead

There is a massive city on the eastern side of the obsidian plain that stretches for a mile in every direction from its center. Countless hordes of undead wander the city, sometimes mindless and sometimes following the commands of the more powerful undead who reside with the city walls. All manner of undead can be found in the city, from kaishargas to raaigs, and there are rumored to be some types of undead found nowhere else in Athas.

Prior to the Cleansing Wars, it is speculated that this city was a thriving metropolis where members of all races could live together in peace. This idea enraged Rajaat, and therefore was one of the first places to suffer his wrath. Very few living creatures have ventured into the city since the crusades of Rajaat and his Champions, so there is a wealth of ancient treasure and knowledge buried beneath the black obsidian shell. The undead protect these secrets with unwavering vigilance, making it extremely dangerous to penetrate the cities gates. In the rare instances where treasures have made their way out of the city, tales of terrible curses follow.

One legend claims that the leaders of the city created an immense and powerful monster to battle Rajaat and the Champions in the final days of the Cleansing Wars. This creature was never unleashed into battle as the city fell before its power could be harnessed. In the aftermath of the city's demise, it became another of the city's cursed undead. The stories also say that in undeath the creature has gained free will, and it resides captive beneath the city. It waits for a chance to be released into the world above, where it has its own agenda that could spell destruction for the city and disaster for the lands beyond.
