Atur is a large city in central Karrnath, south of the Karrn River between the Ashen Spires on the east and the Nightwood on the west.[3]
Geography
Atur is located near where the Karrn River flows out of the Ashen Spires mountain range. The proximity of the mountains and mists from the Karrn Falls create a gloom that shrouds the city, shortening the amount of daylight it receives.[1][4] A lightning rail line runs through the city, connecting it to Korth and Vulyar.[5]
Atur is also located near a Mabaran manifest zone.[6]
History
Atur was the center for production of Karrnath's undead during the Last War. Since the war has ended, many of these soldiers have been stored in vaults underneath Atur.[7]
Economy
Atur has a thriving nightlife, with a large number of theaters, bordellos, and feast halls open all night.[1][4]
Society
Adherents of the Blood of Vol faith make up a significant amount of the population.[7]
Notable Locations
- The Crimson Monastery is Khorvaire's largest place of worship dedicated to the Blood of Vol and it is Atur's largest claim to fame. The monastery is a pyramidal building made of blood-red brick and black mortar. The building glows faintly at twilight of a seemingly magical radiance. Guards, both living and dead, watch the entryways into the sacred temple.[2]
- Nighthold: A royal retreat for Karrnath's king, Kaius III.[1][4]
- Atur Academy: An arcane institute specializing in teaching necromancy.[8]
- The Vaults of the Dead: A large complex of catacombs that hold Karrnath's undead legions.[1][4]
