Death comes for everyone eventually. Nothing else in life is certain but that it ends. In the lands of Rûl, however, circumstances can sometimes extend existence beyond death, allowing something of the person to remain. Liberated from the flesh, the spirit lingers, anchored to the world by strong emotion, a sense of duty, or some crucial task left unfinished. Such spirits become ghosts.
City of Dreams reveals Edes, a city once famous throughout Rûl for its fantastic artistic, academic, and aesthetic achievements, now thought to be little more than a den of drug addicts wasting away in sloth and mayhem. The City of Dreams has become instead the Dreaming City, whose foggy streets are an apt metaphor for the addled minds of its innumerable lotus-smoking inhabitants, living out their lives, such as they are, in a near-permanent trance state of illusion and hallucination.
Ancient lore calls them genies, once powerful entities of imagination and creation, now reduced to insubstantial remnants of their former selves, doomed to pass the eons until the end of time as mad, raving things. Their very acts of creation at the dawn of time eventually become their undoing, shattering their minds and obliterating their senses of identity, leaving them forever lost in delusion and paranoia.
In the northern reaches of the Confederacy of the Nine Cities sits Lij, the legendary City of Wonder. What began as a haven for exiles and freethinkers from across Rûl has become one of the greatest bastions of the occult in the known world, with alchemists, artificers, engineers, and wizards rivaled only by the Tower Arcane itself—and perhaps not even that any longer, with the decline and degradation of the Empire.

Oddities, Artifacts, and Esoterica: Poisoned Pages for Shadow of the Demon Lord
Those who live beyond civilization’s bounds face a daily, brutal struggle just to survive the hazards and horrors of the vast wilderness they call home. In the rolling hills and deep forests where few willingly tread, one can find all manner of hungry, violent things: from rabid animals and brutish beastmen to ravenous ogres and other terrible monsters who defy description. While the constant press of both danger and isolation often drives ordinary folks to dark and brutal acts to ensure they live to see another day, none of what these people might do comes close to the horrific deeds carried out by the two clans living in the Lonely Vale.
