The Hall of the Voices

The Hall of the Voices is a ruined outdoor amphitheater built by dwarven craftsmen during The First Age. It was here that The Seven Voices sang the 666th iteration of reality into existence.

 

Under contract by The Council of Five to produce an “acoustically perfect” venue for the Voices to perform in, the dwarves chose to build the structure inside a littoral cave at the foot of the Melancholy Mountains.

 

Sadly, after the one and only use of the venue in the year 77, it was never used again. The goddess Mira had hoped that a new set of seven voices would convene here each time reality needed rebooting, but that never came to pass. And so, eventually, the great sea which surrounds Eden began to reclaim the cave.

 

Though some of the dwarves’ acoustic panels still line the ceiling, walls, and balustrades, the stage itself has been completely submerged—as has the audience’s seating area. In fact, chairs from the auditorium occasionally wash up on beaches throughout the five nations of Eden.

In fact, chairs from the auditorium occasionally wash up on beaches throughout the five nations of Eden—where they are variously view as prized possession or as cursed objects to be avoided at all costs.
  I love the difference in opinion depending who finds the chair. What an interesting ruined structure.

Thank you! It was a pleasant surprise when that line came out. All I knew when I started was I wanted an auditorium carved into a mountain.
