All in ruins now, the City of Chains was finally destroyed at the climax of the Binding War, its stones were cracked, its walls cast down and its towers made as dust. Only the traces of the walls remain on the surface, but underground many speculate that the city remains much as it ever was. Many, particularly those who have forgotten the full nature of the City of Chains, speculate that riches and wonders untold could be found just beneath the surface. In recent years there have been stirrings within the ruins and the Cloistered Brethren have established a makeshift cordon of observation posts around the city.
