Ikemmu

Ikemmu is a city located in the Underdark deep under Aglarond. It is unique in that it exists in both the Underdark and the Shadowfell at the same time. There is a portal known as the veil between the Shadowfell and the Prime Material Plane. The majority of inhabitants in the Underdark section of the city are humans and dwarves while only Shadar-kai or permanent residents are allowed in the Shadowfell section of the city. Because the city was originally built by cloakers it's built vertically rather than horizontally. Since Shadar-kai can teleport through shadows, the vertical layout of the city is not an inconvenience. Ikemmu was first settled by Shadar-kai three generations ago after an unknown catastrophe befell its previous inhabitants.

The city's current ruler is Uwan. Ikemmu is well-situated to exploit trade between the Underdark and the Shadowfell. There are many shrines to Tempus and a few to Shar throughout the city and Ghaunadaur is worshipped in secret by some residents. The city's military consists solely of Shadar-kai and is led by Uwan.

Locations
There are four huge towers in Ikemmu: Pyton, Makthar, Athanon and Hevalor. Tower Makthar is the tower of justice and it is from the top of this tower that Uwan pronounces judgements. Tower Athanon houses the city's military barracks and Tower Pyton is the heart of the trading district.
