Medina Vara
Medina Vara, the secluded home of the Stone-Scale Sahuagin Clan, is a sprawling network of wet, shadowy caverns formed by the remnants of a drained underground lake ravine. These natural formations have merged with the crumbling remains of an ancient castle, creating an eerie blend of jagged stonework and winding water channels.
Stalactites and stalagmites adorn the cavern ceilings and floors, dripping moisture into the pools and streams that snake through the area. The air is thick with humidity and carries the faint echo of water trickling through unseen crevices. The remnants of the castle—arches, pillars, and fractured walls—are partially submerged, their stone worn smooth by centuries of water erosion. Vines and bioluminescent fungi cling to the ruins, casting a ghostly glow that illuminates the depths.
The sahuagin of the Stone-Scale Clan live here in solitude, carving out niches in the rocky walls and constructing simple shelters from stone and bone. The labyrinthine layout of Medina Vara, with its concealed alcoves and submerged passageways, provides both a refuge and a fortress. It is a place where the sahuagin can hide from the surface world's dangers and preserve their traditions in peace.
Despite its foreboding appearance, Medina Vara is a sanctuary for its inhabitants. The intertwining of natural beauty and ancient decay reflects the resilience of the Stone-Scale Clan, who thrive in the shadows, finding harmony in a place others might only see as desolate and forgotten.
