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.

Known as the Stone of Truth before the glory and blessings of the Taint, this massive rock is Magnagora's nexus, vessel and conveyor of the city's power stores. All citizens may tap into the Nexus to fill their own reserves, up to a given limit monthly based on city rank. More importantly, dark essence may be fed into the Megalith to increase the city's power reserves.

The Megalith stands at the centre of the Necropolis as the city's sacred meeting place. Novice Portals, the Infernal Machine, and Teleport Nexus all exit or end here. All this, plus citizens gathering for social occasion, it is a veritable bustle of activity for all ages and ranks.

Furnished for fine dining, social drinking, or private rendezvous the Inn is perfect for grabbing a bite to eat, resting one's head, or having a drink in seclusion. It is often a preferred place for having more intimate or confidential conversations away from the commotion found at the Megalith.

The Marketplace itself is central to the city, located to the northeast of the Necropolis. The Directory is full of every type of item required for a growing, prospering Magnagoran. For those of sufficient city rank, a tastefully appointed tearoom is hidden nearby, entrance granted to only the highest of society. A guard ensures no lowly Serfs may enter and sully its noble establishment.

:: High Priest of the Silent Cathedral located near the eastern gates, Alaron is a viscanti of religious dedication to Nihilism and the Demon Lords and Lady. His body was reformed in modern times after being scattered in pieces across the Cosmic Plane of Nil, though his missing left hand bears evidence to the atrocity he experienced. However confused he appears in his current state, his dark devotion has never waned.

:: Do not judge her by her slim frame, this viscanti maiden has infinite patience and strength to run the city's Stables by the North Gate and manage all the wondrous beasts kept within. Born of Great House Kalas, she bears her surname before her given name, Keryn.

:: 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 in silence, but greet her and you may find a way to assist her. At dawn and dusk, following the Lamplighter could yield you a wondrous, unique spectacle to witness. (If you own a watch, five o'clock in the morning and six o'clock in the evening!)

:: An esteemed scientist found in the southeastern side of the city in d'Murani Tower, this member of the Great House claims responsibility for the Necromentate on behalf of his house. Typical of any scientist, his robes are sooty from various experiments and he is too busy for idle talk. However, he is quite adamant about finding beggars work and has a means of persuading them to the task.
