Astakampos

Astakampos is a city on Planet Duros. At the time of the Devil's Luck Pirates' arrival on Duros it was ruled over by Inquisitor Cornelius. Astakampos is a large city surrounded by mountains and hills. It consists of tall buildings, Greco-Roman-style marble architecture and advanced infrastucture such as a functional sewer system. It is an urban centre with various shops, marketplaces, restaurants, bars, statues, palaces and housing as well as a massive arena called the Colosseum, where prisoners, slaves and warriors are forced to fight against each other in the name of entertainment. In the sewers underneath Astakampos there is a center of the Durosian underworld, where people go to trade in information and illegal goods.

Notable Places

Before the current storyline
The history of Astakampos before the current storyline is largely unknown. It was founded at some point during the last 1000 years before the Devil's Luck Pirates' arrival on Duros. At some point, Cornelius was appointed as an Inquisitor and given the city to govern by Emperor Dominius.

Trivia

 * Astakampos is heavily inspired by Ancient Rome and, to a lesser extent, Greece, from it's marble architecture of columns, statues and palaces to the style of dress and nomenclature of some of it's inhabitants.
 * Costume parties appear to be a very popular pastime throughout Astakampos for some reason.
