General Description:
Visira is a vile and dark stain upon the shores of the Tylyryn Sea. Surrounded by a high curtain wall, the fortified township is a festering realm of disease and uncleanliness. Seemingly imprisoned in shadows, Visira's narrow roads wind between her tall buildings. Occasional rays of sunlight find their way between the walls and through the tightly packed houses, and glimpse roads wet with refuse, blood, and sewage. Morning and evening fogs eternally blanket the town, keeping the air thick with the stench of rotting flesh, vomit and human refuse.

Visira is notorious as a haven to the lawless, and it is here that the slavers and pirates of the Tylyryn come to sell their prisoners and to squander their plunder. The taverns and wiles of Visira are a hypnotic seduction to many, and it is said that anything can be gotten in Visira, for a price. But many careless sailors and merchants have fallen to the beauty of the women of the Scarlet Veil, with their blue-dyed skin and long, braided hair. Visira is a dangerous place, and one which has seen the demise of countless unwary souls.
