Atlantean Pyramids

Overview

The Three Atlantean Pyramids sit to the North of the City - spreading out into the Ocean. This huge facility is formed of white marble with each pyramid serving a different purpose.
 

Qualities Shared by the Pyramids

  Each of the Pyramids is perfectly aligned towards the cardinal points.

Each Pyramid is finished in perfectly white Marble stone.

  Each Pyramid is Transcendentally Impervious to Water. Each Pyramid can never get wet in any way. The water automatically stops prior to actually impacting the stones of the pyramid. All waves avoid them, all rains stop before hitting them. Note that the water is magically redirected away and around every surface of the complex. This power is said to have diverted the force of many storms and hurricanes.

It is rumored that in times of danger the three pyramids teleport to another land to avoid damage. It is not known where exactly that is, but each time they are said to return with sand on them and around their bases.This is said to be the result of a Preservation Teleport Law present over the site.

A similar rumor claims that as long as the capstones and marble facades remain, they will always return to Atlantis.

Lamassu Causeway

The Causeway across to the Pyramids is guarded first by a pair of Giant Stone Lamassu. These are variants of normal Lamassu.
The causeway itself has a series of normal Lamassu who also guard the area - a total of 8 of them. Each will actively aid the Giant Stone Lamassu should anyone attack them.

 

Tetraktys Pyramid (Τετρακτύς Πυραμίδα)

The closest pyramid to the Lamassu Causeway is the Tetraktys Generator - this Pyramid generates the power for all Atlantid Disks on the Continent and amplifies all Oricalchum-based devices that have been enchanted. It is inscribed on one side with the Tetraktys Poem:
My
Endless
Power Is
Freely Given

Talos Pyramid (Τάλως Πυραμίδα)
aka: Axis Mundi Pyramid (Κόσμος Βουνό Πυραμίδα)

The Talos Pyramid has a giant bearded face projecting from it - signifying the Bronze Race. This Face is actually a part of Talos - the Giant Bronze Guardian who will animate and protect the Pyramid Complex should the Lamassu need aid. His Pyramid is a sacred place for the Bronze Race chalkoú génous (χαλκοῦ γένους) and also acts as the empowering pyramid for all Atlantid Golems and Guardians on the Continent. It is said that all Constructs draw some form of mobility power from this pyramid.

The Talos Construct is rumored to have been a survivor from the Age of Bronze, and a descendant of the Brazen Race (χαλκοῦ γένους) that sprang from Meliae (Ash-Tree Nymphs) according to the Argonautica texts within the Library of Atlantis.

This pyramid also empowers the illusion of the Atlas Mountain over the top of the City as a protective screen from would be observers from above.

The Pyramid acts as a portal for Brazen and Brazen Born...it ports them to the Orichalcum City of Aetna

Pyros the Lighthouse Pyramid

The final pyramid acts as a Pyramid Lighthouse of Atlantis empowering a navigational light visible for 1000 miles out into the Sea of Thunder, any ship navigating to the edge of the Reaches can make its way safely from that point.
