=Stuff you know about Ptolus= Ptolus is a major city of seventy-five thousand people. It is located in the land of Palastan near a large bay on the southern end of the Whitewind Sea. It lies in the shadow of an impossibly tall (almost three thousand feet) and thin pinnacle of rock known simply as the Spire. The Spire and its surroundings seethe with mysterious legends and rumors. These tales tell of ancient battles waged and cities erected on the site, of demons and dark lords, of forgotten kings and mighty wizards. Of late, Ptolus has become a city of adventurers. Treasure-seekers flock there to explore and plunder the labyrinthine structures beneath the streets, which they call the โDungeon.โ If the stories are correct, these catacombs include the following: <br />1. The sewers of the city. <br />2.Vast stretches of subterranean passages and chambers. <br />3. The remains of an even older city. <br />4. An abandoned underground dwarven settlement called Dwarvenhearth. <br />5. And levels that plunge incredibly deep below the present urban area. Ptolus lies in a cool, rainy coastal region with harsh winters. It serves as an important port on the Bay of Ptolus off the Whitewind Sea and belongs to the Empire of Tarsis, although a growing faction in the city feels that Ptolus should declare itself independent.
