Warda

I will hide my soul and its mighty love

In the bosom of this rose,

And its dispensing breath will take

My love wherever it goes.

~Zephyr the Deft

Warda, the heart of Shal'Azura, thrives on whispers and secrets. The air is filled with the scholarly discussions of mages and mystics. Its core is a labyrinth of faculties and campuses where ideas are exchanged, attracting scholars from distant lands like Issylra, Wildemount, and Tal'Dorei.

 

The Triad Plaza sprawls out like a vibrant mosaic, its triangular shape formed by a kaleidoscope of polished gemstones in hues of amethyst, emerald, and sapphire. At its heart lies an ancient amphitheater, weathered stones whispering tales of grand decisions and political intrigue, as this is where the The Erudite Triad assembles every new moon to decide the future of the city. Swarms of people throng the plaza, their chatter blending with the distant strains of music that drift from nearby cafes. Encircling the plaza are majestic buildings adorned with intricate carvings and cascading ivy, casting elegant shadows that dance across the cobblestone ground.

 

At the northern side of the Triad Plaza the spires of Desert Rose University tower above the bustling streets of Warda, ancient and weathered, their stone surfaces telling tales of years gone by. Ivy climbs up their sides, creating intricate patterns against the gray stone. The buildings are grand and majestic, bearing intricate carvings and symbols of knowledge and power.

The Bennain Guildhall stands proudly at the eastern side of the Plaza, its domes rising tall and majestic, each one a work of art with intricate mosaics glimmering in the sunlight. The grand building is adorned with symbols of creativity and skill, a testament to the city's artisan heritage.

West of the Triad Plaza the Taqadum School of Technomancy buzzes with an electrifying energy, the air alive with static that tingles on the skin. The sky above is a swirling canvas of dark clouds, releasing a steady drizzle that patters rhythmically against the cobblestone paths and glistens on the school's sleek, stained glass windows.
