The city was built into the side of the mountain after the Goddess of Love, Moriah, stopped the rest of the Gods from greek/roman mythology fucking around with mortal affairs.

The mountain has volcanic activity that makes springs by the top, so whatever flows down the mountain towards a river. The city has 3 concentric, raised walls which lead to tiers and levels.

There are a bunch of guilds, mostly commercial (building, smithing, weaving, etc) but there is a mage's guild, knights guild, mercenary/murder hobo guild, and temple guild. A percentage of their taxes reflect how many votes they get for their government.

Government is slow and shitty, so commonly, guilds just buy out adventurers to do their shit for them, since its faster and serves themselves. I want some other interesting places in case the PCs shit on guilds or decide to become evil. I cannot think of a good prison system in this area that isn't just prison, execution or exile. The only large communities outside of the ways are farming areas and barbarians on the other side of the mountain.

I'm staying with his wife. I am going through all of his notes. It's sad. She always wanted to play with him, so I want to finish our last adventure.

Most of our content was just how the city operates. There's no real fat to it. We only had one mechanic which will be laughed at. Fusion domain of the love god. Join with an ally and have the best stats out of you both. Level 8 as a full round, you both get a standard action.

I just miss asking him stupid shit for him to shoot down, and me telling him to think crazier. He grounded me as a player and dm. I miss that guys.

I have a bar that he runs in city. He's a high level wizard that will give random bounties for PC's to complete. All the specials and drinks are named after campaigns he's DM'd. All the regulars are his characters.

Nerd not need. Great guy. Great DM, easily best I've ever had.

I had to go on his roll20 and see how many people were wondering where he went to.

One of my favorites was so vanilla but fun. 8 weapons in 8 provinces. He was tired of us having too much gold and buying optimally, and he wanted every magic item to feel impactful. Each weapons was super dope.

All encounters for 8 were done by image. He'd just save every cool image he found and make a monster or NPC out of it. It was very vanilla for a campaign settings (collect the 8 mcguffins in the 8 wildly different climates) but it culminated beautifully.
