Magnagora
Magnagora was the only city to survive the Taint Wars, itself twisted by the Taint. The mutated and undead flocked there, claiming it as their own, interbreeding and giving birth to the viscanti race. Innately distrustful of the other races, they are especially vocal against the merians and elfen who wish to cleanse the Taint. These races are greeted as inferiors, and do not receive the same benefits of the other citizens.

Embracing their heritage, the city quickly became a force to reckon with, pulling their power from the Tainted plane of earth and the transformed plane of Nil, now home to the Demon Lords. Bent on conquest and domination, they quickly adapted to the prejudices of the peoples of the Basin, learning that brute force was not always the answer and instead finding more subtle manipulations were just as effective. They are now a major player in the game of power, poised to fundamentally change the landscape of the Basin of Life.

Notable Denizens
- Ardrak, Keeper of the Megalith
- Cloaked in a long black robe, this bat-winged denizen has been warped by his constant proximity to the Megalith, watching its fluctuations like a dutiful caretaker. He is Magnagora's city tutor and can induct new citizens who meet the criteria. The Keeper is also very knowledgeable about the city's History and quite ready to speak of it to anyone who asks.
- Ghalib d'Murani
- Born of the Great House d'Murani this wealthy merchant dresses like a true aristocrat as he meanders through the Magnagoran marketplace browsing the available wares.
- Kalas Keryn
- Do not judge her by her slim frame, this viscanti maiden has infinite patience and strength to run the city's Stables and manage all the wondrous beasts kept within.
- Marla
- Rheimos, the City Zookeeper
- Entrusted with caring for the exotic animals at the Zoo, this viscanti keeper has one warning to all visitors, "keep dogs away from them!" He will gladly pay for rats to feed these creatures instead.
- Mistress Yoshimi
- Tunika d'Murani
- Snaikka i'Xiia
- Alaron y'Bolgari
- Ardath n'Lochli
- Lain, the Lamplighter
- Wandering the city from gas lamp to gas lamp, Lain is in charge of lighting the city's fixtures when darkness falls. This pale ruby viscanti young woman is easily overlooked as she diligently carries out her duties, but greet her and you may find a way to assist her.
