Editing Menorome

'''Menorome''', also called the '''City of Repose''', is the capital city of [[Noelictus]].

== Layout ==
Menorome's walls are fifty feet tall and thrity-two feet wide, built to resist Bone Giants. The city gates are made of mithril. The wall are warded against ghosts passing through.

Buildings in the city are built to code like the rest of Noelictus, able to be sealed and resist basic undead. There use to be codes about building higher than the city walls, though those don't seem to be in partice anymore, as the buildings high enough to rise above the wall resemble miniature castles.

The city is filled with multicolored candle lanterns decorating every building, each in a holder of ancient worked brass. By law, all buildings must be lit by a candle. It's a crime to douse a lantern one does not own, as those lanterns also serve as a warning system where a candle going out alerts the guards of a potential undead.

Some of the city's features are Sleeping Parlors which offer sleep and dreams, Moonlight Lounges where customers sit under the moonlight, and Smoke-spas.

The Sovereign District is where the palace and the most expensive inner city are. There is also a commertial distric, Foreigner’s District, crimson candle district, and pink-candle districts which are implied to be red-light districts.

== Central Hunter's Guild ==
Officially located on 442 Nightghast Street for correspondence, the Hunter's Guild occupies most of the street it's on and has no numbering. It is a three-story compound resembling a fortress. The entrance has ancient ironwood double doors, flanked by two old lamps with purple flames. Unlike the rest of Menorome, those are the only two external lights it has, making it look darker compared to the rest of the city. The guild is accessible by four streets, into Lightseeker’s Way, Nightghast Street, Plain’s Bridge, and Egressial Avenue. The ground floor is a vast chamber segmented off by walls that don’t reach the ceiling, so that Hunters on the higher floors can target potential intruders.

== Palace ==
Formerly, the Royal Palace was called the Palace of Twilight, and was a much brighter place like the rest of the city in those times, illuminated with glowing bulbs, fireflies and light spells. It was rebuilt after the [[Creler Wars]] and renamed the Palace of Shadows and Palace of Tombs, becoming a much darker place. The building is made of black marble, so dark as to look like a silhouette. It's said that the palace used to be so dark that the only source of light was moonlight. Its seat of power is called the Throne of Shadows, and the palace thrones are made of bones and the headrests are carved to look like skulls. The room where the Court of Dusk convenes to vote in the Landsreight has a map of Noelictus carved into the floor.

Beneath the palace lie the Royal Tombs, where previous rulers and powerful figures in the kingdom's history are laid to rest. It is accessed from the palace through huge double doors, into a long central walkway that splits into a gentle ramp at both ends. Within, sarcophagi line the walls, which is where most of the bodies are entombed. Only the most noble and high-level were given the larger tomb on the floor level.

== Culture ==
A local delicacy in Menorome is Cracklebread. It is semi-doughy ashwheat bread that's lit on fire to bake the crust. It blazes in many colors thanks to the dyes applied.
