Pillars of Creation
"On the seventh day of our journey we reached the eastern Pillar. I persuaded my guide to take a detour to the top. We reached the summit in the evening. As the darkness fell we could see the brilliant lights from Axendria across the water. In that moment it struck me that beauty is not the sole creation of the righteous" | Knight-errant Helena von Cyr, a coastal journey around the isle of Ryva.
The Pillars of Creation is the poetic name of the strait which separates the Island of Ryva from the Island of Evonia. As such it also separates the Myzian Empire from the Evonian Republic. The Pillars themselves are the tall hills which stand on either side of the waterway itself. The Ryvan "pillar" is significantly taller than the Evonian rise, which is more like a plateau defined by sharp cliffs plunging into the sea. Atop these cliffs, and on the gentle northern slope towards the sea lies the city of Axendria. Which is the capital of the Republic, and perhaps the largest city in Adar.
