A barren grass field, a lush mountain range around for miles, forests at their bases, and a city in the middle of it all. One would call this a paradise. One could call this an anamoly. But not all is well with this land.....
In the flattest place of this plain lays a city near the size of manhattan. What resides in this city...who can say it all....
The New Sanctuary
The city is covered in pure, shining chrome everywhere except the deserted streets. All the buildings you can imagine are here. Some are empty and abandoned. Some are inhabited. Some are home to fear. During the day the citadel is fully visible, but at night anything above the first floor of any building is almost lost in the darkness that wells around the city, the streets lit by the street lights in such a manner one can only guess what lay around the next turn. With Slayer's help, the citadel's barrier field prevents any external sensors, mechanical or otherwise, from seeing into the city. To the eyes, it's like looking at a giant dome mirror
The Mind
At the heart of this citadel resides a high and mighty tower. It's walls are covered in more chrome colored metal than the others, for strength against attack. The top floor of the tower is the only none plated part of a building anywhere. The top floor seems to be walled only by glass that is a mirror on the outside and see through from the inside, preventing most vision from seeing inward to the control area of the entire city
The Heart
Somewhere within the citadel resides the powerful generator of which its energy is seen pulsating the chrome colored walls when seen up close. Energy flowing from the generator is a thin red line, where as returning is a thing blue line. The generator's form itself is unknown. All that is needed to know is that it's powered by renewable power sources, energy of an unknown origin, and arcane magic of all types and origins. At night, the blue and red "pulses" can be seen more clearly
The Hand
Mastema's undead army fell at the hands of heaven's army long ago. Below the surface of the citadel and in several of the buildings reside a "race" of pure white automatons and mechanoids of various shapes and sizes. These mechanoids are capable of various abilities and affinities. For some..... maybe they aren't completely mechanized.
The Guard
Four main buildings show at the four corners of the city. Within them resides weapons capable of knocking down almost any aerial or ground assault made by vehicle. Many other, smaller scale defensive measures litter the outer perimeter of the city.
The Memory
Not all of the city has been redesigned into a singular, mechanized, network controlled by the tower. Though still linked and guarded, about a third of the buildings have interiors that are left untouched. Though the outer walls are still chrome color, they remain as a reminder of the city that once was
The Peace
Somewhere around the city lays an untouched park of grass greener than anywhere else. Why it was left untouched, who can say
The Defense
After signs that Thanatos's barrier was weakening, a plan to replace it was quickly devised. The new defense for the citadel is a combination of its original barrier and a so-described 'deathzone' between the citadel and the barrier. The barrier itself is somewhat of a glossy blurr when people view it. The properties of the structured magic that makes up its substance scatters all low intensity EMR as well as most high intensity. Because of its magic nature, it also has diverse effects when magic of other kinds is used on it. Inside this barrier is what can be described as a ring or halo that surrounds the citadel, while still being containing inside the barrier to keep its existence hidden until it's too late for any intruders. The deathzone is made up of a solid but collapsable ground. The collapsable floor is a dead drop into a trap of mines with little hope of escape. The surface is also laden with several explosives. Around the ground are 'pockets' out of which pyramidal towers can rise in order to structure complex and different patterned electromagnetic fields around the citadel. Along with this new set up, there are still the citadel's classic defenses.
