History
Once called The City of the Gods, the city of Suriloth was built upon city after city of 10s of thousands of years as the mortal races tried to be close to their immortal watchers. It mostly recently was nearly destroyed during the final Cataclysm of the God War. Upon the remnants the new city was constructed… the City of Masks, with the followers of the gods and the priests taking up residence where their patrons once lived.

Economy
Culture
The City of Masks is named such for the elaborate masks used in social situations to affiliate with a particular deity and show off artwork and wealth. Even commoners wear basic masks for daily functions. There is no traditional nobility as such in Suriloth, instead the upper class are defined by their rank in the temples and their homes are defined by their proximity to the temples. The temple orders are deeply corrupt however, and many of the temples are filled with those who appreciate the status quo and the ability to become rich and powerful, rather than genuine service. These temple members will use this opportunity for self gain and nothing else.
