Viper Falls (Tilmei-Kir)

Viper Falls is the common name for the Yuan-Ti settlement of Tilmei-Kir. It was originally built during the attempted invasion of the southern continent by the serpentine empire around the time of the first founding of the Leonic Empire. It was originally created with the ambition of conquering the southern continent and greatly expanding the empire. Unfortunately for the Yuan-Ti, rather than the humans and dwarves tearing each other apart, they united under the human emperor Volanti. The ambitions of the serpentine empire were curbed in a few, short one sided battles and a disastrous attempt to invade Westport by sea. The city remains as the southern limit of the empire but it is a shadow of its former self

The city itself is built around a large waterfall that pours out of the mountains. It's water is given a slight green tinge by the minerals in the rocks that it comes from. The superstition that this makes the water poisonous to all but the yuan-ti is false however. The water does have a strange metallic taste to it, however, and many travellers prefer to bring their own water supply rather than drink that which is available in the city. The local governor lives in a large manor built on the side of the waterfall which offers spectacular views of the countryside. It also makes the palace highly defensible with only one small path that actually leads to it up the steep mountainside. The population is small and mostly consists of individuals hiding from something or as an inland refuge for pirates of marauders isle. The yuan-ti are quite lenient with most visitors. Don’t interfere with the business of the empire and they couldn’t care less what you do.

Viper Falls is unique in the cities of the serpentine empire in that it has no central pyramid or temple. The temple is instead built under the city. It is said to be a subterranean maze and only the clerics of the yuan ti actually know the layout of it. Many foolish visitors have heard tales of wealth and tried to infiltrate the temple but have either gotten lost or, worse, found by the clerics. They are not heard from again. As stated, the yuan ti do not care what you do, as long as it does not interfere with the business of the empire. Viper Falls is just... a terrible place.
