Avaritia
The strange being that speaks to you reveals another thread of reality lost to time."We crossed the threshold of the first ring into Sovereign's outermost district. At first glance, this district seems as plain as the outer sanctum surrounding Sovereigns ringed districts, just gray snow and silent night remain here. Only the twin blue flames that appeared to us outside this district display any kind of activity. The blue fire rests in front of something, a stone obelisk of some kind sits just beyond the entrance, illuminated by the blue flame that dances in front of it. This obelisk appeared to have had writing on it, only now the letters are faded and cracked, as if worn by time or manipulated by some other force. only the top of the obelisk has anything of any mention, an inscription of some kind followed by a single word in bold lettering. The words appear in different dialects and languages depending upon the heart that reads them, transforming before our very eyes to be read, though it is not our wills that reveal them. In my heart, the words reveal themselves as follows " Every treasure was once shared by all until the king followed a most dreadful call." After reading these words a single phrase appears in flaming letters before me, AVARITIA. Upon saying this phrase, the dreary surroundings began to shift all around us, transforming into an elaborate landscape enraptured with gold and silver. As I glared at the sight before me with confounded amazement some of our group became instantly avid of the treasures that appeared before them. The treasure itself always appeared differently to each of us, presenting itself in the varied forms of our most cherished belongings and possessions alike. This ring, this Avaritia stretched endlessly all around us, defying the boundaries that we originally witnessed before entering Sovereign herself. Such warm feelings of fulfillment and want wished to overwhelm each of us in its own way, dazzling our hearts with endless promises of grandeur and permanent happiness. Some of us were content to remain in Avaritia so that its endless bounty could be explored further, while others again began to experience the aura that summoned us here in the first place. Suddenly another stone gate appeared before us, as plane as the first. The two blue flames that illuminated the inscribed obelisk glided through the now open archway into another ringed district. Though many of us were enthralled by the troves that emerged before us, this warm aura had become even more alluring than the first time it called to us. Thus we heeded the auras call and proceeded to the next ring... well at least I think we did. Was it all of us, or most I wonder? Did some stay behind? I... can't... it's cold again, so cold. The door shuts behind us... where are we?"
Infrastructure
"So much trade, and so many deals. Come and find what enthralls your inner zeal. Markets and malls, bazaars, and shops. So many idols that you'll never want to stop. Piles of gold, and endless toys. Sort through your treasures, and make sure that they are never destroyed. Open your heart, and feast your eyes! One man's trash buzzing with emerald flies. Walk forever, and take what's yours. A perfect place for those that are rotten to the core."
Architecture
"Such sights to behold, both glamor and gold. Treasures of the heart, mind, and soul. Rising treasures, and goods alike. Spices and silver, oh sweet delight. Power and strength, a promise to all. Palaces of grandeur, for infinite glory calls. Marble columns covered in ruby-laced vines. Ivory thrones that appear so divine. Take your crown, enjoy your pleasure. Be careful and watchful so that nothing is shared as your wealth grows beyond all measure."
