One of the bigger dark elf cities on the continent of Nala, Menzo houses nearly 10.000 dark elves, and more than twice that of goblins and orcs. Located deep within the Silent Forest, not far from Dragon Mountain, few outside the dark elves and their slaves know the precise location of the city.
Cloaked by enormous oak trees and ancient magic, you might walk very close by and not notice Menzo. Entirely surrounded by a 40' stone wall cloaked to blend in with the rest of the forest, the many towers hold vigilant guards that look for any enemy.
Outside the walls lies the fields, where thousands of orcs and goblins slave away to bring food to the tables of their dark masters. Stone guard-towers raised by magic overlook all fields, and while there are guards, they are comparatively few. All dark elf slaves know that any attempt at fleeing or rebelling is met with swipt and brutal retribution.
The Market is a large open area in the middle of Menzo, south of the Arena where
merchants come and deal all sorts of things.
The Temple is a huge structure that holds the Temple of Asmodeus, but also the quarters of every priest under education and where they train. Ro'kar Argith, son of Da'kar, is High Templar currently.
Just like the temple, the Tower is a large structure (shaped like three huge towers that are melted together) where all wizards of Menzo receive their arcane education. Ri'jad Khalazza, brother of F'er Khalazza, is First Wizard as no one would dare challenge him for the title.
The Arena is where the warriors of Menzo are educated. The Arena is run by Master G'lor Hume, by many considered the finest swordsman in Menzo.
Scumtown is a fairly large area in the south-eastern part of Menzo, where most of the rabble live, meaning the dark elves with handicaps, the orcs and goblin slaves who belong to no Houses.
Most of the town is made up by claustrophobic alleys lined with 2-3 story high buildings on either side. The only exceptions to this is around the Market, the Temple, the Tower, the Arena and all the noble palaces. Those areas are usually protected by walls and a significant amount of open space. The noble palaces are huge high towers connected by bridges high above ground, all surrounded by walls.
Menzo, which is about 2 square km, is more or less formed as a circle, and measures a mere 800 meters from the center to the outer wall.
Major Products: Body dyes, chains, high-quality edible mushrooms, everdark ink , fine weapons, herbal medicines, poisons, potions, riding lizards (bred and trained), slaves, spiced sausages and wine (spiced and sparkling). Most of their trade are with the other dark elf cities in the Silent Forests, but some Houses trade with humans on a global scale.
