Brass City

Summary

Brass City is a formerly enslaved elemental city whose current rulers are described as The People, while the citadel and minarets still preserve old-regime planar control systems, cursed Council statues, and shield-crystal body work.

Day 57 Details

  • Infestus’s wife sent the party by blue dragon to just outside Brass City.
  • Two diplomats greeted them, including a smoke-scaled figure with a cobra head under his hood.
  • The city interior was lush, relaxed, and not visibly enslaved; the Glowscale were excited to see the party.
  • The old masters had enslaved labour for repair, upkeep, and citadel work.
  • A rebellion began when slaves wanted bread and were denied it; protestors burst into flames.
  • The Excellence of Air left and never returned; tower creatures became unruly after that.
  • The citadel contains air elementals, a control room that can touch multiple planes, realm doors, and Council statues that can be restored by returning missing objects or body pieces.
  • Facets that Gleam in the Sun, a tabaxi jeweller, had been taken to the citadel to cut a gem and revealed that the supposed great weapon was a shield-crystal body or focusing crystal.
  • Four great minarets hold or relate to a shield-crystal focusing body, possibly Tremon’s body.
  • A past version of Brass City showed blue dragonborn and dragons, a market, palace access by invitation, and a dragon/serpent tapestry-maker working from visions after Igraine visited.
  • After the party restored the tail, stone casing broke away from at least one statue and revealed live tabaxi. The restored king asked how long they had been stone.
  • A priestess was expected to guide the party to Cardonald the next day at 12:30.
