ESCORDVI LOGS

The city itself is too massive for the three of them to try and explore everything on their own, however any buildings they venture into will reveal a culture that honors strength and fighting with brilliant murals depicting heroic feats painted or engraved into many walls and many homes with a large amount of weapons with several missing. Stranger still is that while belongings were left behind, there are no signs of remains. No corpses, skeletons, detached clothing—no sign at all of anyone who could have died in whatever situation that caused the evacuation of this city. However, should they manage to reach the outer edges of the glass dome, they will find bones and black fabric crushed and pressed up against it…

Further in, roughly in the very center of the city, is a set of very large dragon statues set on top of a fountain pool that has clear, cool water in it. The largest shines with gold, its wings spread wide to cover the entire plaza as it faces west. Set on either side are two smaller dragons. A white, silver one faces north and a black, obsidian faces south. Although the statues seem to be in pristine condition, the black one has a few cracks. Coincidentally, the white one faces the direction where Ya Relaeh is located. To the west is a large temple-like building, and the south seems to be shrouded in a strange darkness.

While most of the city remains relatively whole and complete, especially the eastern area, the southern area is where light seems to disappear and darkness prevails.. Buildings are crumbling, actively slowly turning into dust as if decaying. It's a process that has been going on for a long time, with the farthest area completely wiped out and slowly encroaching further inward towards the city.

Empty as the city is of people, it's not completely devoid of life. Whether they managed to slip through the rocky cracks underneath or fell through the very same hole they did, beasts roam through the ruined city. Even more bizarre, dragon warrior statues made of stone will sometimes come to life to attack certain areas, as if to protect it.

🐲 Dragon Warriors. The statues will be surprisingly agile despite being made of stone, wielding an assortment of melee weapons. However, they do not need to be destroyed—besting them in a duel is enough to make them stop, and upon "defeat" something will glow in their mouths before a golden dragon scale falls out. These are the same scales found in the first desert expedition and will hold a memory vision related to where the statue was found.

🌵 Roaming beasts. Although they do not fill the town, there are different creatures roaming through the city. Some are peaceful while others are aggressive. The ones to be most wary about are the insect types, especially the scorpions, as they are large and poisonous. However, there seems to be a small population of small cactus that can move and hop about. They will mostly watch but may grow curious enough to follow and offer random small trinkets, dragon scales, and things they think these strangers might like.

💨 Echoes. Scattered throughout the city are three mysterious bits of fog. Stepping through them will make the individual have an extraordinary experience of the past…as if reliving it themselves.
