The Infinite City
The Infinite City has fallen to ruin eons ago. Cursed and stagnant even in the realm of rot and decay known as The Malaise. It is a source of mystery and intrigue. Fires still burn, chimneys still smoke. Food can be found intact and warm at its tables almost like the city itself was simply forgotten about. Regardless of the arcane nature of this city, Adventurers across the Isle and Competing Guilds can be found attempting to liberate the place of its riches. Vast encampments can be found outside it, was intricate geared systems of pullys and winches to combat the nature of the curse.
Demographics
Although no native population can be found in the Native city, the vast sprawling encampments outside of it can be viewed as a populace. This migratory populace is comprised of numerous Adventuring Groups, Guilds and Fool Hardy individuals willing to brave the dangerous of the cursed city for riches. At the current point in time, these Delvers number approximately three thousand at any one time.
Government
There is no formal government to the Infinite City nor the Delver camps found outside of it. Each group is governed by its own laws and regulations and although infighting and arguments do occur regularly these groups are not known to attack or commit severe crimes against one another. It is well documented that individuals who break this Honour Code find there tethers cut and are lost to the city.
Assets
The Infinite City is as the name implies Infinite. Due to the apparent Temporal nature of its curse, the resources inside the city reappear with every unique iteration of the curse itself. Vast mounds of preserved food, wine, books , mundane items and common mystical items can be found outside of Delver camps with many of the mounds being comprised of the exact same duplicated item.
History
The current theory is that the Infinite City predates the Event, with the power the Event Unleashed locking the City in some form of Temporal Loop. What happened to the Inhabitants is unknown, nor is the name of this civilization. Although the Isle of Wonder is filled with ruins and fallen civilizations that date back to The Event itself, the theory that the Infinite City predates the Event is based on the many discoveries of literature and text which matches no known languages used across the Isle of Wonder.
