Yin-Sichasi
The underground city of Yin-Sichasi beneath the Gossamer Mountains is home to the witch-queen Lady Lang Loi, who rules over the monster-dominated brigand nation of Shenmen in Tian Xia. Most people who live in Yin-Sichasi are the witch-queen's slaves.1
Many of the inhabitants are jorogumo, like the ruler herself, and on rare occasions will turn into undead known colloquially as "bone-fang jorogumo". These creatures occupy a half-ostracized, half-exalted position as occult advisors and spiritual intermediaries within the city.2
Geography
Gossamer shrouds of spidersilk cover the city with a multitude of striking colors while floating through the air via wind pipes. Spider silk so saturates the ground that most foot steps are nearly silent, giving the city an veneer of tranquility and solitude. Luxurious displays and colors constitute most of the architecture between spiral buildings and fountains that spray into diamond formations in the air. 3
People
While the jorugumo do make up the vast majority of the citizens of Yin-Sichasi, many humans and other such humanoids are seen across the city, though only ever as unwilling fodder for the amusement of their masters. It is not uncommon for these non-jorogumo to be slaughtered, the males used as egg fodder, and tortured for the amusement of the true citizens.3
