The Eternal City of Wend

The Eternal City of Wend is a large city found in the Shattered Isles. It is legendary for its immensely high, featureless walls. It is said to have existed at the dawn of time and will exist at the end of days. The City is home to the Wendish, a mysterious people who cover their faces when travelling outside the city walls but have been found to possess flawless pale orange skin, white hair and eyebrows extending past their brows.

the City itself has never been seen by outsiders and those who do never leave. Legends tell of a city built of silver and gold with towers reaching up to the clouds, other legends say that there is no city, but instead a portal to the distant continent of Vanaetat. Many have tried to enter the city only to be stopped or killed, people have tried everything from scaling the impossibly high, smooth walls to digging under the walls only to find they extend downwards as far as upwards.

Outside the city, many seeking refuge in the walls have established the town of Zain outside the cities gate waiting for the gate to open so they may enter. Once a month the mysterious gate will open and merchants from the city will trade goods in Zain or board ships to travel to far away to other lands to trade goods so they may return to Wend with new resources. The gate remains open for two days and then closes of a month before opening again welcoming back the travelers. It is possible for an outsider to gain access to the city by being selected by the Wendish Guard while the gate is open, however the system of selection is unknown.
