Atur is a large city in central Karrnath, and is a stronghold of the Blood of Vol. The city resides in a Mabaran manifest zone, and this combined with the nearby mountains and the mists kicked up by the Karrn Falls creates a gloom that seems to shroud the city, limiting the amount of sunlight the city gets. As such, Atur has a thriving night life, with a large number of pubs, theaters and restaurants that are open all night.
Atur is home to Atur Academy, an institution of higher learning that specialises in the school of Necromancy. Most of the undead produced for Karrnath during the Last War were animated or created in Atur, and many of those undead are now stored in the Vaults of the Dead beneath the city.
Crimson Monastery
The Crimson Monastery in Atur is the largest temple dedicated to the Blood of Vol in Khorvaire. The building is a pyramid made from blood-red bricks and black mortar, and it seems to faintly glow with magical energy. The temple is maintained and led by the oathbound Hass Malevanor, who many see as the highest priest of the faith.
