Tourist Guide to the City of Rains

It is the end of the world. It’s always raining. The rain beats against the walls. It seeps through the shutters. It pours onto the moss-covered backs of gargoyles. It turns streets into streams and rivers. Shaky, damp towers lean against decaying townhouses, perched on the ruins of a once-gleaming city. Valets dart through the storm to run small errands. Fireplaces puff faintly and mold-filled spellbooks rot, despite the protections adopted to preserve their contents.
