Silver Burials

General Info

  • Population : None
  • Region : Southgard Province
  • Type : Ancient Ruins

Description

A massive trio of gleaming metallic monoliths rise above the ashen dunes southwest of the ruined city once known as Emberedge. The structures reach thousands of feet into the air, and radiate a massive amount of heat into an otherwise calm void within the Nonewallow.

Not much is known about the ruins themselves, though they predate any surviving records from the First Age. A fragmentary legal codex from around 1200 years before the Great Sack suggests that the entire area surrounding the Burials had been declared an interdiction zone, and the lack of any meaningful ledger entries in Imperial records suggests the site remained officially unexplored.

Geography

Based on fragmentary descriptions, the Silver Burials are located in a formerly desolate basalt plain, now buried dozens of feet under layers of dust and ash. The heat radiating out of the structures appears to have created a relatively calm pocket within the Nonewallow, though the occasional storm or the Maelstrom's effects still occasionally overcome the local convection currents and redistribute ash throughout the area.

Notable Features

  • Burial Mounds :

    Three impossibly tall metallic oblong monoliths, the smallest half as tall as the largest, reach out into the hazy skies like the outstretched fingers of a buried titan. Their surfaces are impossibly smooth despite the centuries of accelerated erosion the Nonewallow's dust storms have inflicted, and the millenia of wind, rain, and natural weathering that the structures must have endured prior to the creation of the landscape around them. It is reported that the pillars sat atop an intricately inscribed plaza made of a similar metallic composition, though if true that is now buried beneath the Nonewallow.
