Do you have any locations near you that could be used as inspiration in a campaign.
I live in the same city as the Freetown Christiania. There are areas out there that are like pulled from fantasy novel. The concept of a rogue city within a city where wizards and other alternative folks live in complete contrast to the bureaucracy of the surrounding city could make an interesting capital city in a campaign.
Pic related, took it out there the other day.

That motherfucking huge swampland to the south that occupies a third of my country. Some people in Polesia were unaware of WW2 'til germans came to them in person. Or even after war ended, 'cuz nobody reached to some places.

>Freetown Christiania Didn't they shut that down a few years ago?
The Tivoli should deliver nice creepy vistas during off hours.
My home town has persistent rumors of old tunnels, a place where the US kept nuclear weapons for decades without telling anyone, and a bridge whose builder tricked the devil himself who made an appearance at the opening.

A hindu temple built into a cave system?
Nowhere near my place but a nobody there can go on 4 chan. A temple built on the gates of hell themselves. The eastern idea of hell just means it's rather neutral. But with a D&d idea of hell, an order of monks with orders to hold the line against hell itself.

Heh. Velen.

On my island, there sits the old royal palace. It became the offices of administration for the new government after the overthrow, and, in recent history, underwent restoration and became a historical museum of sorts, into which the public is allowed under the supervision of a tour guide. It is from my forays there that I've gotten many of my notions as to how royalty might live, and what their personal chambers might look like.
There are actually a few other buildings like it, too; courts and government buildings and the like still standing from the time of the monarchy that you can visit for pretty cheap if you're a state resident. They're equally interesting--so small by our standards, but well kept, beautiful, and stately in their own right. Nothing like the absolute focus on functionality that their modern counterparts display.

Yo braddah.
Of course, we also have the ruins of ancient temples too. Though there's no underground structures to explore, they're often eerie places.

Eh brah.
Yeah, old heiau are intense places to visit. Gives me chicken skin.
I guess one other place I could think of that we have might be those old naval gun emplacements and military structures from back in WW2, with those rusting out old spiral staircases and casemates built into the mountain that used to hold guns that could probably shoot over the horizon. Those are eerie in their own way, too, though I'm not sure if they let people visit them, anymore--all that steel and concrete, now dark and empty.
