The Golden Gates
Massive stone towers loom over a bridge where refugees gather. The air smells of smoke and wet earth. A heavy iron portcullis hangs half-open, guarded by soldiers in dented plate armor.
The Hall of Kings
A vast chamber of cold marble and high arches. Sunlight filters through stained glass, casting long pools of red and blue on the floor. A heavy crown sits on a velvet cushion atop the empty throne.
The Whispering Woods
Gnarled trees with silver leaves create a dense, rustling canopy. Low mist clings to the mossy ground, hiding narrow paths. A faint sound of chanting echoes from somewhere deep within the thicket.
Iron Hold Fortress
A squat, brutalist castle built into the side of a jagged mountain. Black banners whip in the high winds. The sound of hammers hitting anvils rings out from the inner courtyard.
The Sunken Cathedral
A half-submerged ruin resting in a quiet swamp. Moss-covered gargoyles peer down from the crumbling spires. Water ripples inside the nave, reflecting the pale light of the moon.
The Shadow Market
Narrow alleys filled with the scent of spice and damp wool. Dim lanterns hang from wooden beams, illuminating stalls filled with strange artifacts. Figures in hoods whisper in the dark corners.
The Serpent's Ford
A vital stone bridge spanning a wide, rushing river. Old watchtowers stand at either end, their stones slick with spray. Small boats are moored at a nearby wooden dock.
The Star Monolith
A single pillar of smooth obsidian rising from a grassy plain. Strange runes glow with a soft blue light on its surface. The air nearby hums with a faint, vibrating energy.
