Brüttelburg

This walled city of truly massive proportions was built by a long-lost civilization of wizard-giants who carved their own titanic faces into the solid rock of the fortress walls. The vast city-fortress is divided into layers & districts by the immense fortifications & maddeningly complext design of the ancient stone walls & corridors. Ages of rapid expansion & slow decay layered on top of the alien stonework form a labyrinthine sprawl, its only maps long gone out of date.
