In the scorched lands of Stygia rises Keshatta, a city feared across the known world, a jewel of dark knowledge and forbidden power. It is not ruled by kings or armies, but by the Black Ring, an ancient order whose influence coils through every street, every market, and every whisper in the shadows.
Throughout the city, enchanted effigies, gargoyles, and animated golems stand as silent guardians, bound to the will of the sorcerers who command them. Their unmoving eyes watch every alley, every square, a constant reminder that in Keshatta, no one truly walks unseen.
And yet, despite its darkness, Keshatta is a city of life. Its bazaars overflow with spices, poisons, relics, and forbidden texts. Adventurers, mercenaries, scholars, thieves, and servants of the magi crowd its streets, all drawn by opportunity, knowledge, or power — and many never leave its walls again.
In Keshatta, ambition is currency, and knowledge is more deadly than any blade.
