Cess & Citadel Intersection Generator

Intersection of ...

Sifting Boulevard

Buildings are stained gray by soot and pock- marked by attempts to chip the dirt away.

&

Soot & Sable Corners

Artists and students line the street from dawn till dusk, all vying for an apprenticeship.

City Block Locations

This block is currently suffering from Ash Drifts. The soot and ash is deep here, like choking piles of snow. Easy to get trapped or lost in.

Rusty’s Emporium

What is clearly a bore eel hole is boarded up on the showroom floor. Great prices, terrible quality.

Shopkeep: Bo, dirty and disheveled. Smokes a pipe, is never seen to refill it.

Inventory:
  • BeetWine
  • 10 feet of lead chain
  • Heat Gauge
  • Flare that burns white
  • Contraband: Forge Putty, clay-like putty the color of brass, the impressions left by touching it are incredibly detailed.
  • Artifact: Twixt Pipes. A pair of brass pipes as wide as two fingers, etched with geometric sigils and silver filigree; they hum when brought close together.

Kerning and Cattery

Filled with printing-press type cases; however, the letter “u” is missing from all of them. Windows are always being broken.

Shopkeep: Wick Shivershins, strong and off-putting. Snorted red ochre pigment on a dare, can no longer smell anything else.

Inventory:
  • Roll of uncut marbled paper
  • Berry Tea
  • Quill
  • Glittering crystal paperweight, a trapped moth within
  • Artifact: Paper Cat. A household cat apparently made from fine vellum; its fur rustles like paper being crumpled and purrs sound like pages being flipped through.

Hall of Records

A labyrinthine structure whose darkened halls hold all manner of meticulously organized records and information.

Hundreds of orators, singers, and word-smiths are kept on retainer in tight but lavish living quarters in order to express what words cannot.

Tippet's Basement

Discovered after its original owner disappeared without warning, this dilapidated building holds a strange secret. The floors of the basement descend with seemingly no end, each sub-floor growing stranger with every descent. Delvers have managed to reach nearly 500 floors in depth and report architecture and monstrosities that defy explanation.

This city eats people. Never forget that.
