Maiden's Eye

Surrounded by mountains, Ka Vethan was the first stronghold of the Akheva. It was destroyed by the Maiden's Scar, a powerful storm that erupted through the countryside and now lies dormant across the twilight skies. All that remains of the enormous and once vibrant citadel are piles of solid, dead matter of shadow and stone that had once been its walls.

The land, once fertile and sprawling with lush lunar vegetation, is now covered with dirt and stone. Weeds have sprouted everywhere, consuming the ground. Shadeling Meadow, which lies towards the east, is the only area within Maiden's Eye that still supports grass and plant life. Among the piles of stone found within the fallen citadel lie ornaments and symbols once used to pay homage to the Akheva goddess and creator Luclin, the Maiden of Shadows.

The once grand architecture of Ka Vethan is now a hollow shadow of death reflected in a chaotic scatter of devastation and ruin. Several roof-torn husks of buildings lie scattered in and around the city's former courtyard, many rooms in each still accessible.

Inside the rooms one can still see remnants of the city's former inhabitants and their everyday lives. There is also a small bakery that has remained largely intact.

The barracks are found in the middle area of the ruined courtyard. Still active, protective golems wander about, leftover from the era of Ka Vethan's prosperity. There are no beds in the barracks, just areas for the golems to remain standing. Along the walls are golems that have been deactivated, no longer able to be brought into their animated stage.

Firegard Lake lies in the northeast section of the region. A two-story building rests on the shores of this relatively small lake. Inside, a fire burns, lit by Akheva mages and fueled by priests in eternal homage to their revered deity.

There is also an ancient graveyard where the immortal Akheva would dispose of mortal servants who had expired. Many of the skeletal remains have been unearthed, lone reminders of an epic battle that took place here millennia past.
