The Lost City, a lost and long forgotten buried remains of an ancient civilization, where a ruined pyramid conceals strange inhabitants, forgotten secrets, and the decadent descendants of a once-great people. It’s a blend of dungeon crawling and social intrigue, the characters can encounter rival factions, like the cult of Zargon for example, negotiate alliances, and uncover the city’s history.
