The City of Brass is a large settlement in the Elemental Plane of Fire. It is populated primarily by those who are native to the Plane, such as efreet. Humanoids from the Material Plane are not uncommon, but they often end up enslaved,[1] facilitating prominent slave trade in the city.[2]
Description[]
A large, dark metal wall surrounds the exterior of dozens upon dozens of reflective metallic towers and domes of the vast City of Brass.[3] Bordering the Sea of Fire on the northern or eastern side,[4][5] the city is bisected by lava rivers[6] of the aqueducts that power local forges.[7]
As twilight descends, the city shuts down under a curfew. Everybody goes home, locks up, and nobody but the Illuminated, uniformed and wearing flaming brooches or amulets, wanders the streets.[8]
Points of interest[]
- The Fenstral Spire, a craft fair that happens once every two weeks.[9]

Governance[]
The absolute monarch of the City of Brass is the Grand Sultan of the Efreet, Marrake al-Sidan al-Hariq ben Lazen,[27] residing in the Charcoal Palace. The sultan is known to be paranoid, and Senokir described the political movements against his rule as the "most grievous of things".[28]
A group of efreet known as the Illuminated, approximately fifty thousand in size,[29] is guarding the city. They enforce a strict curfew, and anyone found breaking it is put in chains.[30]
