=About=
This is the Wiki page for the Play by Post ([http://forum.rpg.net/showthread.php?t=255256 Meta] - [http://forum.rpg.net/showthread.php?t=259385 OOC] - [http://forum.rpg.net/showthread.php?t=259391 IC]) game of Donjon run by ldd23 and starring Cerulean Lion, JohnU, and Omar.  

==The Setting==
The setting for the game was generated via the following questions, answered by the players:

*<b>What is the name of the city you live in?</b><p>Abbatar, or Abbatur. Somewhere along the line I forgot how it was first suggested and started spelling it with a U. Any preference? Or people can say it both ways..</p>
*<b>What is known about the ancient ruins it was built over?</b><p>Four layers of ruined cities, three of them inhabited by men, and one by something else. At least one of the ancient cities was smashed by the gods after the city's inhabitants offended them.</p>
*<b>What ancient evil still lurks in the catacombs beneath the city?</b><p>A lich, who is the last of the inhabitants of the first city. And the debased remnants of an ancient non-human civilization.</p>
*<b>What problem is facing the city that requires adventurers to delve into the catacombs?</b><p>It started with the ever-present problem of greed. Adventurers, it seems, can never have enough loot. A legendary hero led an archaeological expedition into the ruins and awoke something that should have remained buried. The newly awoken lich needs virgins to regain his power. Young women have been disappearing in the night recently, dragged off by bands of the undead.</p>
*<b>Who has already been lost in the catacombs trying to solve the problem?</b><p>A company of the city's army, and two powerful wizards. One of these wizards was a sick bastard with a price on his head. He may have gone into the catacombs to try and steal the lich's power instead of helping his victims. The legendary hero who caused all this mess has also not been seen since his expedition began.</p>

==The City==
<p>Abbatur is a large city built atop the layered ruins of four other ancient cities. The permanent population is mostly human, but a fair number of travelers come through, so you can see all sorts in the city. Abbatur's inhabitants have no particular prejudice against outsiders as long as they don't try to wake the ancient spirits slumbering beneath the city and as long as they have good money.</p>

Resources:
*Weapons and Armor: 6 (Markup 3) - The standing army of Abbatur needs good equipment to fend off the horrors of the catacombs, and adventurers are always looking for stronger armaments.
*The Temple of Omnisus: 8 (Markup 2) - The priests of Omnisus will bless your weapons against demons or the undead if you're willing to make a donation and they believe your sincerity. <i>(You can trade in a weapon for the same weapon with a magic bonus vs. demons and/or undead, up to +2)</i>
*Temple of the Searing Light: 6 (Markup 4) - The Temple of the Searing Light can enchant armor with a general extra protection, or a specific protection against harmful magic. They also offer the services of their warriors as bodyguards to those they deem worthy. Guardians of the Searing Light have recently begun producing Rods of Illumination <i>(See in the Dark Ability)</i> to help protect the inhabitants of Abbatur against the creatures of darkness. The temple also offers healing services and aid to the needy.
*Provisions: 7 (Markup 2) - Abbatur is a nexus of trade, and almost anything can be had.
*Hospitality: 10 (Markup 4) - Abbatur's a large city, with much on offer. There's always lodging to be had, but a safe room is expensive.
