Forgotten Sagas of the 13th Age
City of Osis
City of Dungeons, City of Cellars
Overview
The city of Osis is a large trade city found near the intersection of two Imperial Highways and within a day or two of significant lumber and mined resources like silver. Osis is known as the City of Dungeons or City of Cellars because of an unusual concentration of living dungeons which made it to or near the surface and remained even after being “killed”, leading to an extensive underground side to the city known as the City Below. Osis is a city of quiet conflict. It has powerful trades guilds (especially the Guild of Smiths and the Carpenter’s Association), an equally powerful merchant’s guild, several thieves guilds, as well as the nobility trying to keep on top of all of it. To top it off, just because Osis is a city of the Empire doesn’t mean that the living dungeons haven’t stopped bubbling up from deep within the earth.
