The Seven Modern Wonders of Casiphon
The Seven Modern Wonders are seven particularly impressive constructions which have been built in the most recent age of history - the end of the Sixth Cycle or the beginning of the Seventh Cycle.
There is no canonical list of seven, but five form the basis of most lists. They are:
The Porcelain Temple to Mithaeril at Cothon Carinbalq.
The seven-arched Taorminite viaduct over the Sarantes river at Chaiton Bridge.
The Colossus of Mercy built in honour of Piameth Ghiy beside the harbour of Mabag Pachamel Grith.
The Tree-Labyrinth of Epilytaemiston, a twenty-mile wide network forming the central hub of the elven realm.
The Carridine Bastions, a two thousand mile network of walls and fortresses guarding the dwarven realm of Carrado.
In addition, various lists add two of the following:
The Iron Highways of Fulgor, where steam engines pull trains of iron wagons across the dwarven realm.
The Pearl City of Prest, where a large section of the city on a wide domed hill is built with white glazed brick.
The Ramps of Taormun, where two enormous earthen ramps allow access over the two hundred foot high Black Walls.
The Dolthian Walls of Mabag Pachamel Grith, the gargantuan stone fortifications defending the city from the land.
The hanging glades and meadows of Acrantheia, where Tryphaetha-trees hang down from the Arches of Acrath many hundreds of feet above the canyon floor.
