Places of Interest in the City of Brass

The Sultan's Boulevard aka The Street of Stelae
- Easily 200 yards wide, this gargantuan road runs from the Harbor to the Charcoal Palace

The Nightfall Concordance
- An alliance of alien mages who create and control the 30 hours day/night cycle in the City of Brass. They have 20 5-stories towers found along the outer wall.

The Shining Pyramid of the Keeper
- The only church allowed in the City of Brass, the glass-like pyramid is suspended 600 feet above the Harbor.

Long Castle
- Palace of Khan Jihadi, leader of the forces of the City of Brass, and third most powerful Efreet in existence, after the Sultan and the Great Vizier.

Street of Steel aka Bazaar of Arms
- Long street where you can by any weapon and armor you may wish. Almost...

Red Pillar Halls
- The Center of the Great Bureaucracy that runs a lot of the city. You can find the officers of Weight and Scales, the Magistrate of Finance and Trade, Slave Registration, the Bureau of Magic, the Bureau of Taxation there.

The KhizAnah
- The safest bank in the world is located on the Plaza of the Hunters

The Great Repository
- The 1600 feet tall purple/bloodred tower is often called The Greatest Library. It is said that it holds all knowledge of the Efreets' history, which is measured in thousands of eons. Some even say that it holds the knowledge of every race. But the price of knowledge is steep. It can be seen from everywhere in the City of Brass, but itself is located in the middle of Avencina, a rowdy lower-class district.

Minaret of Screams
- The thin spindle-like tower of polished obsidian inlaid with brass is a constant reminder of what happens if you cross the Sultan. Whenever you get within 30 feet of the tower, you can start to hear the screams. As you get closer, the level of noise increases past the unbearable for normal humans. It is said that those imprisoned in there are subjects to ritual torture 3 times per day for an eternity. Because once you die, your soul is bound by ancient evil magic, and the torture continues. The Minaret of Screams can be found (not that anyone would want to) near the Gate of the Fallen.
