Hadnaka

Hadnaka is one of the fifteen plane shifted capitals to escape The Downfall.

Currently located within nigh impenetrable jungle expanding seemingly to the far horizons with only the ancient stone structures of the city piercing trough.

The curse:
The curse manifests within the wildlife and plants of the jungle rendering the wilderness hostile to all other life. The trees and undergrowth of the forest grow at an unnatural rate and would likely devour the city within a month. To prevent this the city employs mages, soldiers and volunteers to burn away the vegetation within a radius of 500 feet of the city walls. This needs to be done almost weekly or the treeline will quickly reach the city and begin piercing trough it's paved streets and overrun the buildings. The fauna of the jungle likewise seem to be intent on devouring the city and it's inhabitants as all wild animals always attack on sight. Druids and other specialists have failed to neither find the cause nor pacify the animals. The only beasts and plants that lack this bloodlust are the ones that have been born or grown outside the jungle. The uncontrollable growth is not without it's merits however as the jungle offers plenty of lumber for the city and the wild beasts are regularly hunted for their skins and meat.

History:
Hadnaka has a rich history of magic but unlike most of the nations it's practice has been rarely regulated by either government or the clergy. Most of the nation's arcane secrets survive only by being taught to the select few and are guarded fiercely as the gift of magic has been considered divine by the people.
