Apeigadun

About

Apeigadun, the City of Tears, was once one of the seven cities which later formed the empire of Waejir. It graced a wide verdant river which wound through the southern portion of the Waejiran desert. A terrible earthquake in the western mountains caused the headwaters of this river to be rerouted, and eventually the sand swallowed the drying riverbed, the orchards, and fields.

The loss of regular water destroyed the local agriculture and the population suffered a great famine. Those who survived emigrated to other cities and towns in more hospitable locales.

The city structures still remain, providing shelter for those who travel the caravan route which still passes through the site. There is a small population of outcasts, refugees and free folk claiming the city as their home, but life is often harsh and short for those who call the ruined city their home.
