TOMB-CITIES OF GOLD When the Southern cities of Dazra and Irivande fell to the Contagion, the sun’s heat baked them as dry as the surrounding desert. When those of its inhabitants who became ghosts mastered the nemissary arts, they found their former bodies sufficiently preserved to house them. Now, Guild caravans follow the ruins of the old aqueduct network through the desert to these shadowland cities and treat with their dead princes. The gold mines of Dazra and the silver mines of Irivande continue to yield treasure, torn from the earth by a workforce of mindless walking dead raised from the bodies of those who passed into Lethe or Oblivion. The nemissary princes drape themselves in precious metals, reveling in the chill of rings and diadems, while their viziers trade a fraction of this wealth to Guild merchants in exchange for human bones with which to mend the failing bodies of the undead.
