The Maps of Myrist: Eastern

Cabilis, or New Sebilis, is the birthplace of the new Iksar Empire. While many of their brothers and sisters still huddle together in smaller camps and settlements across Kunark, Cabilis is where the Iksar are attempting to reclaim some of their former glory. Originally, the Iksar had wanted to reclaim and rebuild their ancient capital of Sebilis. However, the Poison Dragon, Trakanon, put a swift end to those plans with his continued hatred for the whole of the Iksar race.

The town of Cabilis had fallen during the slave revolts, and had subsequently sunken into the moors northeast of the Lake of Ill Omen. It is here that the Iksar have been able to build a defense against their many enemies and are rebuilding a city befitting the millennia-old history of their people.

Built on the moors, Cabilis' bodies of water are plentiful. Parts of the city are actually connected by canals rather than streets. Many areas of the city have been built upon the ruins of a mid-sized city of the Iksar Empire that had previously fallen into the moors, and the difference in the two eras can be noted in the combination of the two architectural styles and inconsistencies in materials. Most notable of this meeting of old and new Iksar era is The Gauntlet. This acting arena for the city is framed in statues of unrivaled expression of the Empire of Old. Many of these statues have fallen subject to the damage of the moors that reside beneath their great stone bases, but the awe inspiring depiction of the Iksar heroes and generals in their timeless stoic command remains unobstructed.

Large portions of the city remain under construction and many buildings and shops are nothing more than tents and hovels. The city is surrounded by a sturdy stone wall on all sides. It is this wall that has enabled the Iksar to make as much progress with Cabilis as they have. The city is ruled under the iron fist of Emperor Vekin, who resides in a palace located in the center of town. Many froglok slaves continue construction there at a constant pace. The palace complex also has a large structure that serves as prison, torture chamber, barracks for the city guard, and pit where the froglok slaves are locked up when each shift is exhausted.

The eastern portion of the city holds the great majority of the Iksar community and acts as the cultural and military epicenter of this former Empire. The guildhalls of all the Iksar casts, with the exception of the Necromancers, reside in this half of the city.

Many hatchling pupils of their respective cast can easily access the regions suitable for these young trainees from the eastern portion of the city. To the north stand the gates that lead outward into the desolate Field of Bone where many of the Iksar masters focus their young pupils. The southeastern gates grant access to the Swamp of No Hope where the Iksar gather the froglok slaves who toil for them.
