Architecture

The Great Circle of Geldarc is a 1000 foot circle of stones, each 5 feet wide and 15 feet tall. The circle lays on a high hill, surrounded by ancient pine forests. In the middle of the circle is a mound of dirt that seen from the air appears to be a dragon. Gardens of wildflowers line the walkways up the hill, and two giant trees sit on its edges, one on the western side and one on the eastern side. Both Trees are said to glow in the night, and to exclude a divine energy. The Eastern tree is considered to represent Bahumut, while the western tree is said to represent Tiamat. The hill the circle is built upon represents Giaos. The base of the hill is surrounded by a quarter mile of lush meadows, and bogland that have small huts and tents. It is in these medows and bogs that the head clergy of the Temple of Three Dragons meditate on the will of the Dragons. It is also where the Firebreather faction of the Circle of Druids meets to scheme.
