Notable Ruins of the Southern Threshold
by Sesus Ketek
Book of Southern history and geography. The carved mountain that is the Lap, the broken glass of Chiaroscuro, the ordered First-Age streets of Paragon are all described in some detail, though analysis is hardly what one would consider ‘deep’: a tourist’s guidebook, not a research thesis to be sure. Aside from these major sites, a few others receive passing mention: Teran Woo Bridge, the site of a great battle against the Fair Folk, where the gods took to the field alongside the Dragon’s Chosen to cast down the Fae. The city of Agat is mentioned, supposedly lost at the edges of Creation in the Shogunate’s last days, though Ketek seems to make only idle conjecture as to its location. A smaller ruin, the Shogunate garrison post of Bunei, receives surprisingly ample attention, though it seems only ‘notable’ because it happened to be stumbled upon by a wandering Sesus Ketek. The site, it seemed, was a transit point for landships and dragon armour patrols moving ‘twixt the coast and the far South, likely abandoned after being stripped for supplies when the Shogun’s armies struggled to recover from the Contagion.
