Hidden City Sunken Coast
Hidden among the storm-beaten cliffs of the Sunken Coast, Arcanum is a young refuge founded by Magicians fleeing repression in Concordia. Arcane craft, natural isolation and protective wards developed with Chronicler guidance shape a settlement carved into cliff and mountain. The City of Veils is taking form as a sanctuary for free magical study and a concealed outpost against gathering threats, its institutions growing alongside the city itself.
