The City of Hastinapur (Patrons)
Added 2024-07-23 14:36:01 +0000 UTCWelcome to the ancient Indian city of Hastinapur, the city over which the legendary Mahabharata war was fought. It is a place where the gods rode through the streets, where millions of inhabitants lived, where travelers and merchants from all over Devabhumi came to visit.
Now, this city is but a shadow of what it used to be prior to the war, hosting a population of a hundred thousand. Hastinapur has two layers of circular walls dividing the city into three sections. Different city districts host temples, wealthy nobles, barracks, markets, and much more. A large central palace is divided into two sections, one for the Raja and his family, and one for the royal advisors. The sacred Devapani river runs right through the middle of the city, and serves as a place of pilgrimage for the people of the surrounding countryside.
This city is part of my Devabhumi book, a D&D 5e and Pathfinder campaign setting inspired by Ancient India. This book includes over 200 pages of lore, new races, magic items, monsters, and much more. You can pre-order the digital copy here.
