This massive city had stood here for many years. The surface of its black walls had been weathered until it was uneven and pitted.
Unlike those massive cities built more recently, Black Molten City had no underground drainage channels. The half-melted black snow within the city made the environment extremely damp. If blankets were not dried for a few days, they would feel moist to the touch.

Several hundred Ancient Treefolk stood on the giant tower
