Crescent Reach is a city of stone built within a cliff face with a large crescent-shaped crevasse in its front, called The Hollow.
It was once an ancient ogre city called Nokk. When the Circle of the Crystalwing - the six dragons who defied the elders of the dragon's Nest to create a new race - sought a place to start a new race, they found the old city. It has now been adopted by the drakkin who have quickly made it their own. The drakkin culture shows in their organic items made with cloth, leather, plants, and colorful natural dyes that reflect their own vibrant colorings.
