Road to Rebma

Outside of the main city of Rebma, the cities under the waves are collectively known as the Lost Cities. They are empty, broken places, reflections of cities throughout Shadow that have been lost or destroyed, or were perhaps mythical in the first place. In the face of infinite Shadow, the infinite lost cities are condensed to their archetypes, rather than being direct reflections of individual cities.

Some of the more famous Lost Cities are:

• The Sunken City, largest and most famous of the lost cities. This city is Atlantis, Ys, and Helike. It is a sprawling city, large in reflection of its mythical import. Unlike most of the lost cities, the Sunken City is inhabited, and is considered the tribal capital of the Tritons.
• The Golden City is more mythical than historical, reflecting cities like El Dorado. The existence of the Golden City is well-known to the people of Rebma, but its actual location is considered a state secret by the Crown. It is hinted that a large portion of Rebma's wealth comes from treasure-hunting expeditions to this city.
• The Empty City. Nearly all of the lost cities are empty, but this one is oppressively so. Reflecting settlements where the population has disappeared, this city is filled with intact buildings, a stocked marketplace, and all the visible signs of occupation - save for the occupants. Explorers of this city report a continuous feeling of being observed, the sound of conversation behind doors, and faces in windows, all of which disappear when investigated.
