Mythos

Mythos - The Free City
more life, more green as they approachAs

cresting the hill you catch you first glimpse of Mythos in the distance. If it wasn't for the road leading directly into the city you would think it was a grove of trees surrounded by endless fields. The buildings, the walls are built directly into the natural formations of the old growth.

As you get closer you can see small huts outside the wooden walls. You begin to take in how big these trees really are. The city still posses a canopy for when the city originated as part of the jungle. Most of the old bridges and structures at that level look inoperable but they still exist.

Entering the city the large wooden gates big enough for a giant to pass through stand ajar in the midday sun. People freely enter and leave the city with no obstruction

As you look around the city life erupts from every crevice. every building has plants growing out of it or have been built around a tree. where there are cracks in the road flowers grow, flourishing in the despite the chaos that surrounds it.

Taking a deep breath, the fresh air from outside the walls has incorporated a smell of sewage and disgust. You begin to notice the people on the streets. All kinds of races orcs, dwarves, elves, drow, humans and more. many sit on the side of the street looking defeated and starving.

people openly defecate infront you, as a group of children approach pleading for copper. you have never seen so much life and so much despair in one place.
