To Ierotostóni (building)

The Boneshrine is an ancient and peculiar shrine built deep within the Grey Gates mountain passes. Mysterious in not only its location or its construction (being built upon a column of rock jutting out of a lava pit surrounded by unknown bones), but in its origin. While the area it is located in had been explored prior to its discovery, the shrine by all accounts seems to have more or less suddenly appeared in the mid 900s IS. While initially thought to have been built by a strange cult or spirits, Aversarian archaeologists would later date the site through fossil and spiritual study to roughly 699 BE.

It is unknown where the shrine has come from, but Aversarian attempts to cross the lava field proved fruitless. Any attempted bridge projects failed spectacularly, through constant accidents from the slave workforce or Magical back-casting. By all accounts, the site seems cursed, any attempt to reach it doomed to failure from bad luck more than seemingly any magic in the site itself.

Cenware 'Witch-Breaker' and his refugee army would rediscover the site over a hundred years since it had passed from Aversarian interest while journeying west. The Sjalvolki stayed well clear of it, believing it cursed, though legends say that the Partic Seers somehow managed to cross into it with little issue and would never speak of what they saw there after.#!
