The Maps of Myrist: Third Gate

This section of Neriak is the domain of the Teir'Dal nobility. As such, there is very little commerce in this area. While access is not limited to those of noble blood, commoners are looked down upon by all of the residents. It is here that one may witness the true, horrific beauty of Teir`Dal architecture and the magnificence of their arcane abilities, which are reflected in almost every detail of the subterranean quarter.

The most noble and honored of the Teir`Dal guilds resides behind the guarded walls of the third gate. The Lodge of The Dead is home to the most feared and respected castes in the Teir`Dal nation – the Shadowknights and Necromancers of Innoruuk. These deadly practitioners of the dark arts give their unwavering loyalty to Cristanos Thex, the former Duchess of The Dead, the current Queen of Neriak, and the highly respected wife of King Naythox Thex.

The second most revered and important of structures in the whole of Neriak are the Spires of Innoruuk – the sacred temple of the Prince of Hate which is governed by the Teir`Dal priests. The priests typically remain out of political affairs, though out of respect for the royal name of "Thex," they give the king their political loyalty. On the other hand, they will take action if and when politics interfere with the divine purpose and trials of the Teir`Dal people beneath the banner of Innoruuk.

The final guildhall in the third gate is that of the rogues. They are held in somewhat lower regard than the Indigo Brotherhood of warriors and The Spurned wizards. Their home is stationed in the deepest confines of the city so that they may be closely watched by the more trusted houses of necromancers and priests.
