Tenebris: The Citadel of Blades

The heart of the port-city which bears its name, Tenebris stands like a monastary of conquest amidst the high walls and battlements of blackrock and steel. Carved from the landscape singlehandedly by the warlord who now rules this military-state, it is the ultimate symbol of one man's power to control.

The Legacy of Blades
This massive structure is the centerpiece for which the City is named, its ornate architecture arcanely crafted entirely from the finest cuts of blackrock and shadowsteel. Rising high in bladed terraces and lined with malicious spikes for decoration, the entire fortress has been sheened a deep black to match the twilights from which nightmares are born.

The Citadel consists of four walled courtyards situated in a cross formation, with the main structure housed amidst the center. The Citadel's interior is no less malicious than the outer walls, though the bladed designs upon the great blackrock pillars exist only near the ceilings as not to risk injury to any who may brush up against the architecture at ground level. The structure is a mixture of intimidation and majesty, carpeted with rich crimsons and purples bearing the emblem of Tenebris. The same flag under which a struggling warclan once vied for dominance upon their migration to the realms of Avalon, now cloaked with power and fear.

The main hall of the building leads into Sedem Ordinis, which consumes most of the first floor in its entirety. The second floor of the Citadel is outfitted for administrational purposes such as management of warfare and industry, with the third serving as living quarters. A network of labyrinthian rooms and tunnels exist beneath Tenebris, though their presence is unknown to most, and their purpose has never been spoken outside their own depths.
