The Ziggurat of Yig is a massive, ancient structure located 120 miles from Seregon between the Lula River and the Star River. The area around the ziggurat is rich with the remnants of a lost civilization, where statues bound in vines, cracked paver stones, and foundations of old stone buildings offer glimpses into a once-thriving society. These relics, though weathered by time, suggest that the people who built them possessed exceptional skill and knowledge.
The ziggurat itself is an imposing structure, standing 200 feet tall, with each side at the base measuring 250 feet long. It consists of ten steps, culminating in a sacrificial altar at the top. Stone heads, referred to as the Watchers of Yig, are strategically placed around the ziggurat, their eyes seemingly ever-watchful. They each have one eye and one horn.
Yig, the Father of Serpents, is the deity associated with the ziggurat. He is depicted as a serpent man and is believed to be one of the Ancient Ones, a primordial being who played a role in the creation of the world. Yig is known to be temperamental—quick to anger but also easily appeased. He is considered the father of Set, another powerful deity, and is thought to be the progenitor of the lizardfolk who inhabit the Valley of Valusia. Among the Nosgar Tribe, Yig is regarded as "bad medicine," a being whose power and influence are feared and respected.
