Graveyard of Gods
Deep in the eastern part of the Ignis Aeterna can a drastic change in the environment be observed: Here in the so-called Graveyard of Gods, the desert makes room for an even more desolate region. On the graveyards borders the seemingly never-ending sand of the just stops. Not one grain of sand can be found behind the invisible line that seperates these two extremes.
Behind that lies a massive crater made from cold stone and littered with the remnants of an ancient war. Everywhere are skeletons still clinging onto their weapons, rotting siege weapons or the signs of old pyres. The never-moving air gives the scene a timeless feeling where one can still see a halfburnt mass grave right next to a formation of soldiers still clinging to their shields.
The further one goes into the crater, the more bizarre the surroundings become: While the countless skeletons make way for half decayed remnants of ancient beasts and giants, the ground becomes even more treacherous with impacts of ancients spells and old traps that still work till this day. Sometimes one can see the outcome of duels that seemingly no one has won.
Halfway through the crater, the ground starts to become steeper and steeper while the corspes are fewer. At the depth of the crater the last beasts make room for fully armoured skeletons, that seem to the be in the middle of an assault on the centre and deepest point. There, on the deepest point of the crater, over two kilometres deep, the ominpresent stone changes into a lake of black glass, completely void except for a single armour standing still in the centre of it all.
