Ophem'Resa: City of Life and Death

City-State founded by a migrants from Osirion that worshiped Myrkul. With the help of the priesthood of Silvanus, they fled across the water to avoid persecution and death.

Over the years, they traded and became prosperous, until the Fall. When the demons came, they were forced to retreat inside the city walls. With very little choice, the High Priest and Priestess asked the people to make a sacrifice in order to save Ophem'Resa: their deceased.

In a ritual now all but lost, the High Priest and Priestess gave up their mortality to raise all of the fallen to defend the city. From that point on, the city has used the undead as protectors. The Unending Watch are well preserved and cared for. Well armed these are special semi-sentient undead that can follow orders and recognize friend from foe. When the living cannot, they are led by the Aeternum Muha'ib, former house leaders that have joined them in their undead watch over the city. They cannot be turned due to their connection to the city and it's inhabitants.

Ophem'Resa is a very religious city but welcoming and tolerant of outsider, rare as they may be. The city has a bad reputation as being cursed, and few are willing to trade with them since they openly have an undead army, even if that army is only for defense.

The city is governed by a chosen by the priesthood for life or until removed for crimes or incompetence by a council of the people. The Pharaoh is advised by the Undying Vizier, Amon-SatRa (Mummy Lord, the original High Priest) and the Eternal Lady Su'te   (the High Priestess, now a Lich). Both are sworn to serve the Pharaoh and the city as long as it stands.

Ophem'Resa covers an area of approximately 468 acres, with a total population of 28 thousand people. The population is mostly human (78%), with smaller numbers of Drow (9%), Lizardfolk (5%), Orcs (3%), Tabaxi (2%), Gnomes (1%), Halflings (1%), and other (1%)

The city's gold piece limit is 100,000 gp. Anything, whether it be mundane or magical, having a price under that limit is most likely available for purchase. The total amount of available coinage, or the total value of any given item of equipment for sale at any given time, is 142,080,000 gp. They still conduct trade with other ports, using ships of their own.
