Bangari is located in a deep canyon, protected from its enemies. It is a lush jewel in the rocky wastes that surround it, with fabulous wealth, water aplenty, and education for all its citizens. Those who stumble upon, or are carefully led to, the city rarely speak of it to outsiders, for fear that it will be lost and damaged. From the outside, all that can be seen is the waterfall descending into the canyon, as the lone road leading down the walls is well-disguised. This has led enemy raiding parties to surmise that travelers simply vanished into the ground as they were pursued. From the cliff edges, though, the city can be glimpsed, its six main spires rising from the floor hundreds of feet below, to nearly reach the height of the watcher outside. Thin wisps of fragrant hardwood smoke dissipate into the air, and the waterfall descends in a shimmering curtain to the lake below, being diverted into several aqueducts along the fall. The floor is covered in small buildings that seem to be dripping green, and the spires have seemingly flimsy bridges stretching for dozens of feet between them. The inhabitants of Bangari are insulated, but not insular, and welcome travelers who have tales to tell or goods to trade. Water is plentiful, and all citizens and travelers are welcome to drink from the many fountains and decorative pools. The ceramic bricks that pave their roads are painted in a dazzling array of colours, matching the clothing of the citizens. They are especially eager to trade for steel weapons and armour, as they have no metal industry to speak of. Their hardwoods make fine weapons, however, and they do not lack for defense. Bangari can be used as a Wakanda-style secretive nation for your PCs to come from (animal-themed superpowers and all, if you like!), or just a safe place to find in the middle of the rocky desert.
