Ghaztyut
On the north edge of The Haunted Realm sits an ancient city with a rectangular pallisade and a massive pyramid. The three gates centered in most of its walls each bear a labyrinth-script message: "Behold Ghaztyut, Great Capital of Archestria". The entire city is made of large brick of stone and clay eroded by wind. The city is 2 miles wide and 4 miles long, and the stone walls are 40 ft high.
The outer reaches of Ghaztyut are suburban homes, each with a small doorless sidehouse containing rusted shackles. Journals found within the city suggest that a large portion of it was built by slaves captured from other fiefdoms of that era. The central road is flanked by former shops and empty decorative planters, and a huge worn-down featureless humanoid statue stands in the very center. Barracks, brickyards, construction sites, and slave pens are positioned around the pyramid on the south end of the city.
A group of adventurers investigated the city and its pyramid during 2023-08-19 The Haunted Pyramid. Inside, they found maze text detailing the History of Ghaztiwoil and Lord Phiramet. The history claimed that Lord Phiramet's nation of Ghaztiwoil had dominated the entire world, making the city of Ghaztyut the capital of Archestria.
