In the middle of a deep cleft in the mountains north
of Tyr stands the ruin of a white palace surrounded by
golden-brown savanna. Its towers are carved with images
of strange beasts that no longer exist on Athas – great,
long-nosed creatures with tusks and flaplike ears – and
its central dome gleams with polished copper. The word “Shiivarm” is written across the palace gates in the ancient
Barazhad script of the elemental powers, but no one
alive today knows who or what Shiivarm was, or whether
the structure is truly a mausoleum. Demons haunt the
vicinity, falling upon travelers whose curiosity draws them
too close.
