Atemcester

Atemcester is a city on the northern coast of Lyvernus. It is renowned as the City of Magic.

Description
Atemcester is famed for the wizards that live there and create magical goods that are exported to other areas in Lyvernus. The mages of Atemcester are also known to offer their spellcasting abilities to those able to afford them. There are also several renowned academies of magic located in the city, such as the one where Kain Thessos studied. Some of the mages of Atemcester also reside in floating towers, held aloft by a stone with magic properties that can be mined in the Spine of the World. However, not all of the residents of Atemcester are magically inclined, and at least some people from the city (such as Jorah Wolfwood) regard magic with suspicion, due to their exposure to some of the mages' more dubious experiments. As a port city, Atemcester is also heavily involved in more mundane trading, including exporting seafood inland to places like the Exeter. Inland, the city is surrounded by the Everspring Forest, which is magically climate-controlled to be temperate year-round.. Atemcester is ruled by the Council of Eight, a group of wizards representing each of the major schools of magic.

History
An Abyssal Crest currently resides in Malino're, suggesting that the mages of the city may have been involved in the sealing of the demon lord Alzrius in ancient times. During the Age of Dragons, many mages were taken in by chromatic dragons as pets and servants. While Atemcester may or may not have been the City of Magic during this time, stories of this aspect of the period are often told in the city. In much more recent times, much magical research has been conducted by the mages of Atemcester, leading to the development of the anti-life magic that was eventually stolen by the Fireaxe Clan and unleashed in Port Valor to devastating effect. Mages from Atemcester found themselves as the Fireaxe Clan's preferred targets during the first half of 598 as well.
