Great Athensar

Great Athensar is the city known as the cultural center of the Magnum Opus region, and some even argue the entire world of Roa.

Location
Great Athensar is found on a series of mesas known as the Workshop Table in the north of the Magnum Opus region.

Politics
The city belongs, officially, to no one and as a result local clans war furiously to claim ownership. It is governed loosely by a parliament that consists of a lot of bald men in togas that are convinced they have a brilliant idea that will revolutionize the city and its populace, but are too busy brawling with the other bald men to ever implement anything.

Origin
The goddess Ommigen inspired many people to build stunning architecture. Many of these people came to the rocks of the Workshop Table and began to build. The problem was, most of them never stopped. Single people would spend every moment of their lives building cathedrals and aqueducts until the day they die because the inspiration Ommigen blessed them with being so unnaturally powerful.

Features
The majority of the city is just a useless elaborate sculpture, but it also houses great towering cathedrals built for no gods; colossal theatres; art exhibits and sprawling libraries. The streets are littered with marble statues of people who have misplaced all their clothes and are lined with pubs for artists to congregate and argue, above all the pubs are shoddy apartments perfect for struggling writers and thespians.

Economy
The city is particularly wealthy due to tourists visiting it for the culture from all over the continent. Rich enough to import all goods as there is very little industry in the city preoccupied with art.
