The Shattered Seas

An ancient, shifting fortress said to lie beneath the sands near Asharak. While the city above is firmly established, rumors persist of an old citadel buried beneath the desert, whose very location changes with the sands. The Shifting Citadel is said to have been once home to an ancient ruling faction of Solvara, but its exact purpose and the reasons for its disappearance are unknown. Occasional expeditions are mounted to find the citadel, but the shifting sands and treacherous desert storms often prevent them from ever reaching their destination.

The citadel is said to be a massive structure of weathered stone and intricate carvings, partially buried in the sand, with towers that seem to rise and fall with the dunes. Glimpses of its grandeur can be seen through the shifting sands, adorned with ancient symbols and relics of a bygone era.
