Climate and Geography
Nagapura is a sprawling, circular subterranean city situated within the Upper Shafts of the Underways, built directly inside the fossilized, gargantuan ribs of an ancient subterranean beast. The climate is warm, humid, and still, regulated by thermal drafts and Manna-charged heat rising from the deep incubation vaults below.
The Weather: Unchanging and artificial, featuring dead air warmed by incubation heat, carrying a faint, musky scent of dry scales, warm sand, and chemical pheromones.
The Environment: A silent, serpentine city lacking traditional stairs or streets, utilizing smooth, spiraling stone chutes, vertical ventilation shafts, and recessed wall-ledges designed specifically for limbless or half-serpent locomotion. The architecture features the Hatchery Vaults—heavily guarded inner sanctums where pureblood Snakefolk clutches are incubated in warm, Manna-charged sands alongside covert nursery chambers for human cultists undergoing conversion into sleeper agents. Governed by a chilling, soundless atmosphere, inhabitants move without a trace along velvet-carpeted stone chutes, communicating via subtle tail-taps, pheromones, and low-frequency hissing reverberating through the stone.
