Sundered from us by gulfs of time and stranger dimensions dreams the ancient world of Nehwon with its towers and skulls and jewels, its swords and sorceries. Nehwon's known realms crowd about the Inner Sea: northward the green-forested fierce Land of the Eight Cities, eastward the steppe-dwelling Mingol horsemen and the desert where caravans creep from the rich Eastern Lands and the River Tilth. But southward, linked to the desert only by the Sinking Land and further warded by the Great Dike and the Mountains of Hunger, are the rich grain fields and walled cities of Lankhmar, eldest and chiefest of Nehwon's lands. Dominating the Land of Lankhmar and crouching at the silty mouth of the River Hlal in a secure corner between the grain fields, the Great Salt Marsh, and the Inner Sea is the massive-walled and mazy-alleyed metropolis of Lankhmar, thick with thieves and shaven priests, lean-framed magicians and fat-bellied merchants—Lankhmar the Imperishable, the City of the Black Toga. (From "Induction" by Fritz Leiber) (Note: For real world size reference, the Island of Lankhmaria is roughly the size of South Korea)

Night of Fear

Legend has it that on 25 Walder of every year (historically the day of the bat, the month of the goat), The Gods of Lankhmar roam the city. They wander the streets to see if the city's citizens have kept Lankhmar in accord with their wishes. It is said that anyone found spying on them dies horribly. On the day of the Night of Fear, Lankhmarian prepare gifts for their temple. The Lankhmarian wear only black togas, and all conversations are done in low whispers. It is such a day of bad omens, that no business is conducted. That night, all the people of the city stay indoors, behind locked doors and with weapons near at hand. Not even the thieves of Slayer willingly venture into the night. Actually, The Gods of Lankhmar walk the streets only about once every seventh Night of Fear. However, since it is never a sure thing as to which year it will occur, the people of the city respect this holiday every year.
