Unnamed Ruins
These ruins were ancient even before the earliest written records, which were kept locked away in the highest levels of the Obsidian Tower in the Ryuutenshi Valley. It's well known that the Ryuutenshi were the first species to develop a writing system and also the first to have created a consistent alphabet (called She'da in the Ryuutenshi dialect).
Several expeditions have been made to try and learn more about these ruins and who the buildings there once belonged to but each one uncovers more questions than answers. All attempts to decipher the symbols covering the walls there have met with failure.
The oral traditions of the Nomadic people, however, provide some answers, though whether there is truth to them or if they are merely legends is open to interpretation. The Nomads unconditionally believe the stories to be truth. The tell a story about a great Goddess who created the world and its three moons. They say that the ruins were once her home on Keverynn and that it crumbled to ruins when she left. The site is sacred to them and they tolerate the presence of the archaeologists there in hopes that they will uncover the reason for the Goddess' departure as well as other bits of information.
Their name for it is Jek'patel Elora Keverynn , which translates to 'Womb of of Goddess Keverynn'. Only Nomads are aware of their full name for it. If it becomes necessary to refer to it to an outsider by a name, they simply shorten it to Jek'patel.
Though it technically resides in the domain of the white Dragonlord, traditionally that individual takes little to no active interest in the area, preferring to leave it in the hands of the Nomads of Tir'ri and Tchupak to watch over due to the proximity of their territories to the site.
