Sabhur

Sabhur is a city-state domain resembling ancient Babylon. Dominated by evil gods, primal and ancient traditions, and a tyrannical ruler, Sabhur is nonetheless a grand and wondrous place. Sabhur is decorated with many statues of lions due to its ruler's special fondness for them.

Adramelech, Sabhur's tyrannical king and darklord, is known for his explosive temper and greater-than-usual cruelty, so Sabhur's denizens tread lightly to avoid provoking his wrath. He demonstrates a special affinity for lions; trained lions are allowed to wander the city and even guard his ziggurat-palace. Sabhur sports several leonine and Babylonian native monsters, including gorgons, sphinxes, and shedu.
