- | ===== Leviathan ===== | ||
- | |||
- | Leviathan is a vast pirate city most commonly found in the Alquarshi Bay, although it could resonably travel anywhere on Cahyali' | ||

- | |||
- | Two enormous wooden structures that jut out in front of the rest of the city like pincers. It uses a colossal trawling net to capture ships and dismantle them for use as materials elsewhere, much like a chop shop. It is managed by the boatswain, and is the main source of incoming materials and supplies to the city. | ||

- | |||
- | === The Sternwood === | ||
- | |||
- | A forest full of terrible beasts near the entrance of the city. Long ago, some thought that Leviathan should make its own food instead of stealing it, and a group of druids from Buyuk Vahsi tried to make a place in the city with arable ground. It has become cursed forest full of monsters. | ||
- | |||
- | === Cannon Court === | ||
- | |||
- | A strange, subterranean neighborhood modeled after a dwarven city. It's built with the remains of shipwrecks and hollowed-out hulls in large, public chambers and civic centers. It is inhabited by pirate dwarves and gnomes. | ||

- | |||
- | A pleasure house and inn on Leviathan. It offers entertainment, | ||
- | |||
- | === Gibbety Square === | ||
- | |||
- | Sits the base of the mast that holds Crow's Keep aloft. Pinned to the mast in the center of the square by a dagger through the tongue is the head of the old pirate king, hung there and preserved artificially with magic. A sign that hangs from it reads "No kings for a captain" | ||
- | |||
- | === Aftward === | ||
- | |||
- | A marketplace of banking and trading. Located near Poop City and Gibbety Square, it's home to the Row and the Ruction and the Brig (which is a giant tower of prison cells). | ||
- | |||
- | == The Row and the Ruction == | ||
- | |||
- | An enormous warehouse in the Aftward neighborhood. It is the place where political decisions are made in Leviathan. The Row is a raging fist fight on the sawdust covered, bloodstained ground floor that has lasted for 150 years. The Ruction is a web of boards and rigging suspended about 20 feet above the Row. Together, they form a bicameral legislature for the city. If a person can claim enough space in the Row long enough to advance into the Ruction and hold it, they can make political decisions that affect the city. The Row and the Ruction are very rules-light. Weapons and magic, while not specifically banned, are discouraged in the Row as everyone will gang up and try to kill you if you use them. Weapons and magic are allowed in the Ruction. On the wall opposite the entrance to the building is a bar with stools and seats where fighters can rest for a bit and grab a drink before rejoining the brawl. Sputtering torches cover the walls, which have been reinforced time and time again from all the smashing of chairs and shenanigans, | ||

- | === Poop City === | ||
- | |||
- | The nice neighborhood of Leviathan, located on the poop deck. | ||
- | |||
- | === Crow's Keep === | ||
- | |||
- | The highest point of the city, a neighborhood lifted about a quarter of a mile above the streets by Leviathan' | ||
- | |||
- | == Compass Points Library == | ||
- | |||
- | The library on Leviathan, located in Crow's Keep. It's akin to a guild of wizards, a place of cultural significance and magic. However, it is splintered and fractured as it had to be fought for and protected from the drunken deprivations of pirates that might not have as active an interest in the preservation of their own pirate culture and magic. The library itself contains many areas that function more like social spaces. | ||
- | |||
- | == The Ramble == | ||
- | |||
- | The Ramble is the closest thing Leviathan has to a town hall or court house. It is located in Crow's Keep. | ||
- | |||
- | Inside the Ramble building lives the actual Ramble: a collection of Leviathan' | ||
