Location from The Wandering Inn by pirateaba
The Walled City of Inventions — a vertical Drake metropolis built into a mountain, where [Engineers] and [Alchemists] push the boundaries of what's possible in a world shaped by Skills.
Pallass is a city that goes up. Built into and against a mountain, it rises in concentric floors connected by massive staircases and cargo lifts, each level housing different districts — forges, markets, residential quarters, military installations, and the workshops of the [Crafters] who give the city its reputation. From the ground floor to the top, Pallass is a monument to Drake engineering and the stubborn belief that if you can't build outward, you build upward. The City of Inventions earned its name. Pallass produces alchemical breakthroughs, siege weapons, and innovations that the other Walled Cities grudgingly adopt. Saliss of Lights, the world's greatest [Alchemist], works here — when he's not running around naked and causing diplomatic incidents. The city's military is formidable, its [Senators] are cutthroat, and its bureaucracy can kill an idea faster than any monster. Pallass connected to The Wandering Inn through the magic door, which created an instant trade route between a Walled City and a small inn on a hill. The economic and strategic implications nearly started a war. Now Drakes walk through a door and buy Human goods, Humans walk through and gawk at Drake architecture, and the world quietly rearranges itself around the fact that distance is no longer what it used to be.
