Cyoria's oldest district — a tangle of narrow streets and ancient buildings sitting atop sewer tunnels that connect to the dungeon network below, where increased monster activity hints at something stirring in the deep.
The old quarter feels older than it should. The stone remembers the Ikosian Empire, and the foundations go deeper than anyone is comfortable thinking about. The sewer system here connects to the upper dungeon levels through passages that the city engineers officially deny and privately worry about. Recent reports of increased monster activity in the sewers beneath this district have prompted Mage Guild notices — but the monsters are symptoms, not the disease. Something below is disturbing the usual dungeon ecology, pushing creatures upward into tunnels that were previously safe. Most people assume it's a natural fluctuation. It isn't.
Cramped, winding streets between buildings that predate the current kingdom. Ikosian stonework — thick walls, narrow windows, defensive architecture repurposed for civilian use. The buildings lean toward each other overhead, creating shadowed alleys that rarely see direct sunlight. Sewer grates and basement doors are more numerous here than anywhere else in the city.
