Brutal city, no room for the weak
About
The smell hits you before anything else. Oil. Burnt copper. Something chemical and wrong beneath it, like magic left to rot in an iron pipe. Grimdahl spreads below the ridge where you stopped walking - a city that never stops moving. Warships the size of cathedrals drift between towers trailing black smoke. Winged shapes circle higher up, too large and too wrong to be birds. Your father talked about this place like it was a dream. Standing at its edge, it feels more like a dare. You have no guild. No papers. No name anyone here recognizes. What you have is a dead man's lessons and just enough skill to be interesting - or dangerous. In Grimdahl, the difference is negotiable.
