The Cinnara Building / Landmark in Belthuran | World Anvil

The Cinnara

Ruin (60% Kobold, 38% Drazgor, 1% Drazgorra, 1% Dragon) At one point the mountain the fortress is built into was a monument to the Aspect of Earth among the Draconic aspects, with a large dragon form making up the entirety of the mountain, during the Dark Ages it was made into a nightmare, the monument profaned and mocked by the dragon-hunters. The Cinnara has since become a blemish on the pride of Rhyderia, an evil place where dragons were harvested and turned into weapons to slay more of their kind. It held many young dragons taken as eggs and raised for the purpose of torturing and harvesting scales, blood and eventually bones. The Grey Wyrms of the Draz Tyran have been working among the long-abandoned ruins of the once mighty fort to find and bring back lost dragon remains to a proper graveyard. While it is still part of Rhyderia it was made available to the dragons until their task was finished after the events of the Dark Age. While many assume it is still to be avoided to let the dragons work there has been less and less activity seen around the fort, leading many to assume that they have finished their work.     The Cinnara was once a massive fortress designed to watch over the eastern roads of Rhyderia, it had survived many assaults and times of great peril standing as a beacon of hope for the people of Rhyderia. That is until the rise of the Dragon slayers who turned the Cinnara into a terrible place, one that captured dragons to harvest for armor and weapons. This is one of the places that helped bring about the cataclysm in the dark ages, one fueled by the bitterness of betrayal and outrage of their actions. There was a time that the still mortal draconic god of vengeance had defended The Cinnara, protecting the civilians from a threat lost to time. Therefore, the Rhyderians suffered far worse from the cataclysm than the rest of the world and the two places that still bear the scars of that rage are the Cinnara and the ruins of Sharzelad. Since the reforming of the Rhyderian state the high sultan has given control of the Cinnara over to the Grey Wyrms who are still working to gather the remains of many dragons slain there, it is a difficult and time consuming process and the dragons suffer no interruption of their task for it is truly sacred to them.
