Rosohna

 is the capital city of the Kryn Dynasty, built on the ruins of Ghor Dranas.

City Description
Rosohna is an incredible, vast metropolis, in almost perpetual night, alight with thousands of little green lantern glows. Stone, metal, and dark clay make up all the structures, in various sizes and shapes, some of which are repurposed ruins of old that have been built upon and refurbished. Some, at least closer to the center, appear to be extensions of an elvish domicile design that is familiar yet unfamiliar, slender and jagged, but beautiful and sleek. Bonfires are lit in some of the streets, giving distinct orange glows that break up the rest of the green, sparkling lights. The extended wards of the city are a little more patchwork and scattered, extending from the center in an onion-layer type layout, circular in the center and more oblong as you go outward and the districts get wider and more diverse in population. They are surrounded by large 15-foot barriers.

Lucid Bastion
In the center of the city, on a large hill, stands the Lucid Bastion, the court of the three ruling dens of the Kryn Dynasty, and home of the Bright Queen Leylas Kryn. It is surrounded by a perimeter wall made of a dull gray with a purplish-tint type stone and across the crest of it, there are green lanterns alight with a soft, green glow.

Shadowshire
Under the Lucid Bastion is the Shadowshire, accessed from the Lucid Bastion by a very large stairway spiraling around one of three pillars, opening into a grandiose, subterranean cavern about a quarter mile across in every direction. The rough-hewn ceilings rise a couple hundred feet, glowing with a blue moss that fills in the nooks and crannies between protruding bits of rough rock and crystals and other bits of strange, exposed ore that glimmers when the soft glow hits it in certain angles. The base of the cavern is a bustling neighborhood of stone and glass, lit with green lantern light. The streets are filled primarily with drow. It contains the prison of the Dungeon of Penance.

Firmaments district
The Firmaments district is the place of higher learning, where the Marble Tomes Conservatory is located. From a distance, it is made up of broken spires of curved metal. It is similarly beautiful as the area around the Lucid Bastion, but with less religious-based architecture. The inherent geometry of the Lucid Bastion and the surrounding buildings of worship continues on somewhat into the Firmaments, but with a lot more locations for restful reading. There are small, lightless grassy gardens that seem to not require daylight to subsist, beautiful little nooks where the drow inhabitants can sit and read. There are beautiful sculptures, spire-like pointed towers that curve towards the top every two blocks or so throughout the district. There are no shopping districts in the Firmaments. It tends to be mostly residential and religious.
 * Marble Tomes Conservatory: The Marble Tomes Conservatory consists of a beautiful series of structures with two towers, not terribly tall, bookending each side. It's a series of adjoining hallways, somewhat rounded on the top in a semi-cylindrical shape, an elaborate series of connecting domed halls and central buildings, with tall glass windows that also come to rounded tops and show warm yellow and orange flickering glows from inside.

Gallimaufry district
The Gallimaufry district is accessed through an arched door in the barrier wall. It contains drow buildings and architecture, but also buildings in a makeshift version of imperial design, constructed mostly of the same purple-brown or deep maroon wood of Asarius's city wall. The district is full of music of different styles, including goblin. Most of the inhabitants are drow, but there are also bugbears, orcs, half-orcs, and tieflings. It is a commercial district, with shops and carts being wheeled through the streets, a bustling center of society and civilization in the capital. There are strings of small green lanterns strung from edge-to-edge for decor. The district generally has a more jovial and celebratory feel than the very stoic and in some ways faith-based streets of the Lucid Bastion and the Firmaments.

Corona District
The Coronas are the poor area of the city where more non-drows live. There are stacks of goblin domiciles that look rickety and ready to fall over any minute, and heavy mud clay homes built for ogres and other goblinoids. Exterior walls mark the barrier between the Coronas and the Ghostlands, pierced by gates for the roads leading out of the city.

Ghostlands
The Ghostlands is the area outside the walls of the Corona District, outside of the city.

Demographics
The majority of the population of Rosohna consists of drow. There are also many goblinoids, ogres, beasts, and the occasional giant. More infrequently, there are also a few duergar.
