Alternate inserts:

• Forgotten Realms: Turmish region, part of featherdale in the dalelands
• Domain of Dread: you know it's not a well of place when it could be inserted into the Domains of Dread.

San Citlán

Cattlepunk Mexico. It's south of the mountains around Tletepec.

Alternate inserts:

• Eberron: between the Blade Desert and Endworld Mountains in eastern Khorvaire. Fits in just nicely, just add more elves and dinosaurs.
• Forgotten Realms: on the edge of desert Anauroch near Graycloak Hills or Desertmouth Mountains; east of Tethyr, or near Chessenta's mountain range.

Population: Humans, dwarves, A small number of intelligent Undead

Founded by the explorer Citlali following the city's to-be Lady or death to a cenote rich in mining and on top of lay lines. Like any cattlepunk, the city is what you expect from Ebberon, with publicly widespread artificing, and social inequity (which is more common than not as Dnd loves its noblity divisions), and surrounded by expansive and badly defended badlands were the other half of the dispersed population farm, mine and/or live.

Translating to “the place near Citlali” but also a pun on satan, as the fist adventure involves fiends.

La Catrina, an embodiment of death is the patron spirit of the city, and she likes to be known more for her partying rather than reaping.

The ley lines of the city, thinning the border of the dead, that once a year a big festival is had to honor them, but spirits sometimes stick around in the city as sapient nonhostile skeletons or spirits called Olvidados or “forgotten,” has no recollection of the afterlife (which is typical in dnd).

Harnessing the ley lines, the Argent Congregation, a large and lose conclave of artificers and other magic users (so constant backstabbing), had created the recent explosion of industrialization in the city (surprisingly no threats of possible repercussions in the book).

The Trecena, city-state Council of thirteen elected from the citizenship+. The Dwarf landowner, Doña Estela, thier to oversee the Congregation as San Citlán’s economy began to boom. Her fifty years in office ended in a recent death, with her seat suspiciously not immediately filled; there is circulation of rumors about the Trecena in conflict over replacing Estela or resurrecting her for an indefinite term of service. The fact Doña and her policies could comeback (with a raise dead spell, as a lich, vampire, dragon, doppelganger, fake death in an elaborate scheme) blew many minds thinking San Citlán was a democracy and inspired many revolutionary groups currently squatting in the borderlands.

Controversy

People don't like new things. Its release also got shoved back several times because of covid and got overshadowed by the hype and controversy of the new 5e Spelljammer book.
