Hidden City Sunken Coast
Arcanum, the City of Veils, crowns the storm-ravaged cliffs of the Sunken Coast. Crystal spires, suspended platforms and powerful energy conduits form a Magician sanctuary devoted to arcane scholarship, while shifting Elder Weave wards and dimensional veils keep the city difficult to find and harder still to enter. Deliberately secluded, Arcanum maintains only limited contact with the wider world while guarding one of Aethelgard's greatest concentrations of magical knowledge.
