Mousillon, the damned city, is in a deplorable state: over half of the houses are abandoned, stone and wood are rotting, fungus cover the walls. Because of the bad drainage and the swampy ground, the dead are buried above ground, often in fortified graves guarded by family guards to avoid grave robbing by the many anatomists and necromancers who hope to conduct their studies on the dead specimens. Some even make business out of selling corpses. The graveyards of Mousillon are larger than the city itself. The wells are rumoured to be poisoned with
warpstone and many
mutants lurk the streets of Mousillon together with
Ghouls and Undead creatures.
There is the tale of Jacques de Noirot who, in his experiments with
Necromancy, accidently rose all the dead in the cemeteries around Mousillon, but couldn't control them. He was killed by the Undead he animated and they rampaged through the city.
There are still citizens in the city, as well as disposed knights who seek refuge, and malformed peasant who have been driven out of their homes. The descendents of the bloodline of Mousillon rule them with absolute authority. They wear black armour, never raise their visors and are decadent and corrupt. Once in a while a group of knights enter the streets to hunt the evil things and clear the ruins of the monstrosities that live within. It is rumoured that
Louen Leoncoeur, the present king of Bretonnia might soon proclaim a new war against the City of the Damned to burn it to the ground.
