15 minutes of new D&D brainstorming, part 7

I'm going to try and hide this from my players, but if you're a player and have opened this, please stop! I'm copying from my previous post to expand upon it. Now though, I'm going to focus on the city of Thanatos, where the adventure begins. Expanded world notes are here. Also,this post was probably more than 15 minutes but oh well.

Thanatos

• City of about 10,000 but hard to tell as many come to this town to die
• Beautiful city on the coast that is surrounded by forest
• Once you make your way through the forest, you see the towering stone walls of Thanatos: you have arrived at what is known as the city of the walking dead. Guards ask your business in town, but don't seem overly concerned and are rarely checking cargo. The smell of salty sea air wafts through the town, replacing the scent of the pine forest. You had heard stories of Thanatos being a dark and eerie place, but it looks pretty much like any other city you've seen.
