The Seven Ancient Wonders of Casiphon
The seven ancient wonders are seven impressive surviving structures from earlier ages.
The Temple Precinct at the Gates of Gol. Temples to the Saviour-Titans and other gods constructed of adamantine obsidian.
The Tower of Valheldrin. The remains of one of the Thousand Towers, ten miles wide at the base and tapering slightly to the top, some six miles high.
The Black Walls of Taormun. The shattered base of one of the Thousand Towers, ten miles wide and topped with sheer and jagged surfaces. The imperial city of Taormun is built into the circuit of the Black Walls.
The Ruins of Amarand Tzafiero. The destroyed empire of Amarand Tzafiero excavated a huge spiral-shaped underground city built of polished granite into caverns beneath the limestone karst landscape. The current-day city of Tzaphir is built into the ruins.
The Brass-Scale Road. A sixty-foot wide road made of overlapping semicircular plates of untarnished brass six feet in diameter, which emerges from the ground in many places between the Hundervorne Mountains, the northern shores of Lake Belphion and the Khaifau Mountains.
The Sunken Orbs in the Erechine Lagoon. Around seventy egg-shaped orbs, the largest thirty feet long, are fixed on their points to a polished slab of stone at the base of the lagoon.
The Domes of Drichtei in the deserts of Eyl-Thoul near the upper reaches of the Tager River. Twenty large structures made of steel and concrete, each with huge domes and spires, half buried beneath the desert sands. The interior of the structures is decorated with geometric mosaics of glass and murals depicting tailed humanoid figures in hooded robes worshipping enormous winged serpents.
