Andisine- The Standing City

Andisine, the standing city. A city divided, yet self contained.

Those who live on the upper levels, near the heart of the Arcanus Castellum, would praise the safety of the capitols impenetrable defenses. Safe from all the harms and perils of Danmier, under the protection of the three towers.

Those who live on the lower levels, drowning in poverty, would indeed agree to the impassibility of the city's walls, but the words would leave their lips in curses, and not in praise.Those in the city are safe, yet trapped in a prison of arcane design. Those who reach the heart of the city have no reason to leave, but those left out, are kept out. Only the noble and wealthy have access to the inner circles of Andisines stacking walls.

The happenings of the three towers are unknown to all, even inside the heart of the capitol. No one knows what lead to the shift of power. All that is known is that now there are but three religions in the standing city. The three gods of arcane magic. To worship any other deity is treason against the towers, and is punishable by death.

With the aid of their powerful magic, and the elite guards known as the Servitours Arcanus that patrol the walls, the towers are able to keep tabs on the happenings of Andisine. With many walls, sewers, and fallen buildings, there are many places to hide. Some groups no doubt still meet in secret to worship the deities under the guise of false businesses or non religious gatherings, but as is seen time and time again, they are all discovered, and suffer.

Andisine, the standing city. A city divided, yet self contained.
