This ancient shrine sacred to the kreen of the Tyr Region lies near the southernmost edge of the Dragon's Crown. Once, the Chaksa resembled a perfectly sculpted thri-kreen head, replete with enormous, multifaceted jewels for eyes. The Chak'sa is the last remnant of an ancient thrikreen nation. Though no thri-kreen knows its true history, it was built about two thousand years ago by a nation that included thri-kreen and humans. The Chak'sa honors both beings who led that nation, a powerful kreen and an avangion. What happened to end the nation's prominence is something of a mystery, but it probably came into conflict with the sorcerer-kings and the Dragon of Tyr. Thri-kreen who view the Chak'sa feel a fascination for it. Around the base of a dias before the Chak'sa is inscribed with a message in an ancient kreen dialect; it says "When the age of the Great One is come, make ye a joyous light." Stepping on the dias caused bearns of light to shoot from the eyes, hundreds of feet, to shift around like searchlights sweeping the sky. These were intended as signals to alert others to the presence of the avangion at the Chak'sa. The inscription was left so that if an avangion visited the Chak'sa, the lights would alert others and call them to this location. This is no longer the case.
