The City of the Undead, the Citadel of Immortality, Moloch of Decay, Fortress of the Eternal, Prison of the Damned - Esmoda bears many names, and almost all of them are well-deserved: At the foot of the Shadow Wall, at the southwestern end of all paths in the realm of Zhoujiang, the dead reign. Marked by their damned existence, their fate forever chained to the metropolis, some inhabitants strive for the joys of life. Others endure their existence in the endless monotony of recurring days, and some give up and fade away in the shadows of all-pervading decay. Yet even the living get lost in this strange and dark city, which hides ancient secrets within its walls and is ruled with an iron fist by the Triumvirate of the Millennia: the Bone King, the Flesh King, and the King of Flies. Merchants seek rare artworks from ancient masters.
