Trump XX β€” Judgement

When humans stole the Well of Souls, the dragon city of Night crumbled away into dust. In the span of ages since, dragons have painstakingly remade the city out of the bones of their dead in the Underworld. Why? Nobody knows. Nobody knows anything about how or why dragons do anything. Orcs call this city the Dragonbone Memorial. A sect of religious fanatic orcs believes the Dragonbone Memorial to be their promised land. There is inter-factional disagreement about whether they should lead the orcish nations down into the Underworld or move the dragonbone city up to the surface piece by piece.

Sights

Narrow streets suddenly give way to a spacious square. A fountain depicts a serpent devouring its own tail. The fountain is full of blood.

Sounds

Dripping water. Very distantly, chimes like a Tibetan bowl. An ominous rumbling seems to be coming from somewhere below.

Smell and taste

The lingering haze of an electrical fire.

Lighting

Although some creatures (like goblins and orcs) carry torches, the memorial itself provides no sources of light.

Structures

The walls of the city are dry-stack bones. The roads are paved with crushed oyster shells. Buildings are composed of colossal, fossilized creatures reshaped into ancient architecture, each room no longer serving a meaningful purpose. Doors are made of fossilized wood.

Common monsters

Keening Imps, Goblins, Orc Cultists, Human Crusaders, Bloody Cruciforms, Shadows, Panthers, Sword Spiders, Dire Rats, Dragon Skeletons, Dragons
