The City of Butterflies Gazetteer
A city setting in the Jade Emperor’s province, Hu Die Cheng is built from metal, jade, and silk around a palace suspended above the ground. Butterfly-shaped constructs carry messages throughout the city, allowing the ruler to monitor conspiracies, while wealthy nobles and bureaucrats compete for influence amid a sprawling undercity. The city offers adventures involving intrigue, political schemes, spirits, and extraplanar threats. Every twelfth full moon, a curse draws the city into the shadow plane for a night, when shadow creatures, infiltrators, and possessed inhabitants threaten the population and defenders are needed throughout the city.
