Sweet, wondrous Cynosure-- where the dimensions meet!
Cultural and ethnic diversity of lifeforms, renowned para scientific and necromantic institutions, worlds-class thaumaturgic facilities, short commutes and a relatively low cost of living combine to create the eternity-spanning, megametropolitan marvel that the Dark Ones named Cynosure.
As the premiere trading center of the multi-verse, untold business advantages and money-making opportunities beckon to the savvy entrepreneur. Add to this mix the region's breath-taking alien urban landscapes, professional and semi-legal sports and a thriving, often dangerous nightlife and you can see why Cynosure is such a desirable place to live, work and play.
But there are far more important reasons why Cynosure is the greatest city in any universe. The city sits at the nexus of realties. Sooner or later every dimension comes into phase with Cynosure. Cross a street and sometimes you've crossed a dimension. The laws of physics change from block to block. Magic works over here, science over there!
Sound exciting? Then what are you waiting for? Undreamed-of adventure awaits you in the magnificent city of Cynosure!
