The early afternoon sun hung within a sky parting of clouds over the city of Mirum Urbem, a comfortingly warm presence after the early morning drizzle. Here on the far side of town was an industrial district that was largely abandoned for years even before the Inheritance struck. Before you stood an old warehouse likely long since stripped of anything valuable. Each of you were given this address without any indication of when to arrive, yet there was some vague feeling that you were right on time.
Entering the perimeter itself isn't an issue at all. The chain-link fencing stopped serving it's purpose perhaps sometime in the last twenty years, deterring nobody save those who feared tetanus. Grass and weeds sprung up from cracks in the concrete with utter abandon, the nightmare of landscapers and contractors alike. Intact glass windows were a rarity here. Even those without cracks were caked in years of dust and grime. The close you get to the building itself however, the less comforting the sun starts to feel. An unnatural chill clings to the abandoned structure like a fog.
However you choose to enter the aging structure, you find that the inside is little better. An old musky scent hangs in the air, dampened by moisture yet to have evaporated away under the midday heat. Shadows slither along iron pillars and decrepit catwalks, meaningless whispers lingering in each trash-ridden corner, and the unpleasant scent of decay from a hidden yet long-dead wild animal. An electrical tingle lingers from some spell or another, and those with arcane sight trace the source to empty inhalers, their contents long-since used and abused.
In spite of all this, there's a strange feeling of comfort in the air, a welcoming presence yet to have revealed itself to those that have gathered within. A spider with the upper half of a beautiful woman, primordial ooze in the shape of another, a young man wearing equipment soaked in his magic, a dragon still young and small, an almost alien woman whom glows bright, and the powerful figure of a woman inked with arcane designs. Silence reigns between those assembled, yet it seems eager to be shattered.
