Tigrath Pellessar

A major city of the Ancient Race only recently rediscovered by archaeologiests.

Description
Once the jewel of the Ancient Race's empire. The legends say that the city took 3 full days to travel to the palace on horse back. The palace stood in the middle of the city, and from it all administrative duties went out. The empire of the Ancient Race was centered there, with the Peller or Pella ruling it and a large series civil servants, eunichs and ministers doing the day-to-day operations.

Pellessar the First properly founded the city, and through his great power as a Mage, he created the first City Builders and set them in motion. In the city's basements he crafted battle-horrors and with them he united his people and sent them against their enemies. The city was never assaulted until the rule of Pauser through the tricks and stratagems he set forward.

The city itself was funded by the empire's farmlands around it. The army is controlled by the capital in a general sort of way, and the streets are usually populated by the slaves gathered by conquest. The temple and the palace are the same, and from its steps flowed the blood of innocents sacrificed to the Shadows. The blood stopped during the 8th Dynasty, as their masters were defeated.

After the disappearance of Pauser, Firmament the Wise caused the City Builders to multiply and build over the city. The purpose was to cause the Ancients to be forgotten, and they were. The Neo-Gorgons made their home in the ruins underneath Arcadia and hid there from the Umbra Hunters. Barque Toller and Green Mustard are credited with finding it, and the Neo-Gorgons do not care enough to contest it.
