Elarion was once the jewel of the ancient world, a radiant city of magic and wonder that stood as a testament to mortal ambition and ingenuity. Said to have been the center of a sprawling empire, it was renowned for its towering crystal spires, arcane academies, and its seat of divine power, the Solarium Throne. When the Frostveil Ascension plunged the world into eternal winter, Elarion vanished beneath layers of ice and snow.
Now, it exists only in legend, a haunting reminder of what was lost. Despite centuries of searching, its exact location remains hidden, though whispers claim that it lies deep beneath the Shattered Glaciers, waiting to be rediscovered.
Legends and Mysteries
The Solarium Throne:
At the heart of Elarion was a magnificent throne said to channel the power of the sun. It was believed to be a divine artifact capable of sustaining life and warding off darkness. Many believe the Frostveil Ascension was caused by an attempt to misuse this artifact.
The Crystal Archives:
Elarion’s scholars preserved the knowledge of countless civilizations within crystalline constructs. These archives are said to contain forgotten spells, maps to hidden realms, and the truth behind the Frostveil.
The Vanished Light:
Ancient texts speak of the Starward Beacon, a colossal tower that shone with light so bright it could be seen across the heavens. Its disappearance marks the beginning of Elarion’s fall. Some say it collapsed, while others believe it was stolen by the gods.
Current State
Elarion is buried beneath the Shattered Glaciers, a treacherous expanse of jagged ice and hidden crevasses. Recent reports of strange lights beneath the ice and murmurs of distant music have reignited interest in finding the city. However, the journey to Elarion is fraught with peril.
