For most, the capital city of Cammara Magga Tur Loryod is but a dot on the map. But this dot does not reveal its true splendor until the trust of the forest gnome protectors has been earned. Even an explorer as great as I had difficulty getting access to the city to complete this work. But the sight I was greeted with was worth all the toil."
Excerpt from The Complete Anthropology of Terrania
Cammara Magga Tur Loryod is the capital city of the Kingdom of Cammara. It is the largest gnomish city, built into the cliffsides of a deep chasm hidden inside an illusory forest. The forest is enchanted with powerful illusions that redirect wanderers around the chasm
The existence of the city is not a secret. However, most business and trade is conducted in the smaller outposts around the outside of the forest. Admission to the city proper requires prior approvals, and a gnomish guide must lead visitors through the forest.
Those who are admitted into the city see hundreds of dwellings carved into the cliffside with intricate criss-crossing wooden bridges spanning the chasm. A river flows through the forest and cascades into the canyon, forming giant crashing waterfalls. Each waterfall is equipped with one or more water wheels, harnessing their energy for the gnomish mechanisms throughout the city, including cranes, elevators, and manufacturing machinery.
Many outsiders will immediately notice that nearly all buildings are sized for gnomes. Larger creatures can fit, but it's a squeeze, and head bruises are a common occurrence. Interestingly, most pubs, taverns, and inns are significantly larger, as they tend to be owned and operated by halflings who wish to be hospitable to their guests.
