Ancient Archway

Ancient Archway
Region	Frost Marches
Level range	1+
Accessible from	Old Forest
Neutral Hub	Yes

Sigrune, under oath to Prince Philandros, guards the path towards the Ancient Archway and will not allow the Champion passage.

If the Champion had managed to convince Sigrune to allow them access to what lies beyond the stones, they will find a flat plateau with a circle of crumbling stone pillars being the only adornment and the only sign of a civilization long gone.

Among the shattered husks and moss-covered debris are tattered remnants of cookware and tents which the Champion may patch together to set up a serviceable camp of their own. Should the Champion set up camp and sleep in it, this will start the events of the Convocation of Mirrors.

Description

You stand in the ruins of what might once have been a tall, proud structure; perhaps a temple, or a forum, given the great stone pillars still jutting up from the ground. Most are nothing but shattered husks, broken off in various places to strew their top ends about as so much moss-covered debris.

It seems that, long ago, there was a campsite here. You see tattered remnants of cookware and tents. It's a simple matter to patch them together into a serviceable camp of your own.

History

Contains Spoilers for the Convocation of Mirrors event

During the time of the Godswar, Prince Philandros along with his half-sister Princess Phyria held a Convocation of Mirrors for like-minded mages to learn the ways of mirror magic. While the attendants would enter a dream-like state to learn and partake in the Convocation, the servants of the Tychris house attended to the bodily needs of the dreamers and Sigrune guarded the entrance to prevent any unwanted visitors from disturbing the event. The Convocation was set to last for several days however the event was disrupted when wraiths attacked and killed everyone (excluding Sigrune).
