To Pedíthípsi (building)

The Sorrowfield is the ancient remains of the capital of the Iyrossi people, whose name has been erased by centuries of Aversarian suppression. A cruel show of Aversarian spite and a monument to the insane power resulting from a thousand Aversarian Magi working in unison to prove a point, the original capital, burial mounds of ancient kings, palace, and even the citizenry all remain.

They remain in their final moments, the earth below them and the structures around them all torn brick by brick and floating into the air. From the ground, cracks far below launch plumes of fire engulfing all. So they have sat for over a thousand years, frozen in their final moments, every passerby given a perfect view of the final moments of the Iyrossi.

Any who attempt to enter die immediately. As the original spell has been lost to time, modern scholars can only guess why. Is a sudden shift in gravity and air composition from the present to the past too much? The bend in reality simply too narrow for a human to pass through? Is the latent Magical power in the area a rapid poison? It is likely that nobody will ever know for sure.
