Visira: City of Sorrows (d20)
Visira. The City of Sorrows¸ in the dread realm of the Black Sword. Whose narrow streets echo tortured cries and the cruel whippings from taskmasters. Where the air is thick with the stench of blood and decay. It is a haven to the vile¸ the wicked¸ and the amoral. Where gold can buy anything¸ and life has the least value of all...
Visira is a powerfully detailed fantasy city sourcebook that is immediately usable in any campaign. While designed with unsavory elements¸ Visira is not a wholly evil city. Whether you're looking for a city to serve as your adventurers' headquarters¸ as your villain's base¸ or as the elaborate backdrop for countless adventures¸ Visira meets the challenge.
