Cabal City was a city located in Otaria that was controlled by the Cabal, and was the capital of the organization on Dominaria. It was notable for its pit fighting.
Description
The Cabal Patriarch lived in a huge mansion in Cabal City, from which he ran the city. The harbor district of Cabal City was called Docktown.[1] The pit fights were used to entertain the citizens, earn money for the city and the Cabal, and sometimes replaced trials as a justice system in which claimants battled to resolve their cases.
History
The Rise of the Cabal occurred in 4050 AR when Virot Maglan sealed a pact with the god Kuberr and gained the power to kill using touch. In exchange for immortality, Maglan had to give up his name, his family, and all allegiance to others than Kuberr. Maglan obliged, and each of his enemies was given the choice to give up their names and convert to following him and his rising Cabal, or die.[1]
300 years later, the city was nearly destroyed when it was attacked by a Krosan dragon. Then it was completely overrun by dementia creatures when Chainer usurped rulership of the Cabal and exiled the Patriarch to Aphetto.
Chainer later lost control of the immense power granted to him by the Mirari in a pit fight against Kamahl and the Order. Cabal power in the area had been greatly weakened, and the city itself had suffered massive damage, so the city was abandoned and the Cabal relocated to Aphetto.
