Titan's Nest

Titan’s Nest owes it name to the gargantuan sized bones from which it is built. An enormous ribcage shoots up out of the ground around the city, sun-whitened and ivory bleached. It is the oldest continuously occupied settlement in the region, having been inhabited since prehistoric times. The people of Titan’s Nest have not altogether forgotten their tribal roots; though they given up their nomadic way of life for an urban one, the hunt remains an integral element of their culture.

An adolescent does not reach adulthood until they have felled a creature that makes a suitable trophy. Titan’s Nest is a city of hunters and trappers, its sailors routinely navigating uncharted ocean territory to pursue schools of whale or other more exotic specimens. Its hunters sometimes range as far as the Forsaken Mountains and beyond in pursuit of worthy game. Nothing from the hunts gets wasted—wyvern heads decorate pillars, mammoth bones adorn the hulls of their ships, they fashion armor from light-weight, durable dragon-scale.

The buildings in the city are a testament to hunts long since passed—roofs and walls are constructed of animal hide or interwoven bone. Titan’s Nest is home to a hardy, adventuring people equally skilled in the arts of seafaring and hunting. They export their furs and hides and cured meats to markets abroad, often preferring to barter goods over coin—gold having little practical value to such an austere culture of survivalists.
