Manaia : The Ancient City of Echrem

in #fantasy5 years ago

Echrem is believed to be the oldest city in Manaia, and thought to be the centre of the world. It is located on the border of Euchao and Aneyes and is home to a population surpassing 1.3 million.

Many underground caves have survived in the city, several of which are adorned all over with carvings and imagery thought to be thousands of years old and related to the origins of man. However, with the language proving to be indecipherable to even the best minds throughout Manaia's recent history, and due to the ambiguity of the imagery on the cave walls, the interpretations of the carvings are as plentiful as the carvings themselves.

Echrem is also home to an ancient monolith known as the Cubix. The structure is a large cube, believed to be a temple or place of worship of some kind. Less than a century ago, the Cubix was thought not to be a cube, but a rectangular cuboid. However, an archaeologist stumbled upon a concealed doorway that led to a subterranean portion of the purported temple. Soon after it was established that the structure is in fact a perfect cube with the lower half being a reflection of the top. The structure is thought to have been erected by the Secret Order of Steel and Stone, and to be symbolic of the ancient aphorism "As above, so below," translated in the Libra as "On Manaia, as it is heaven."

The Governor of Echrem is Magna Luxlow II's brother by marriage, and is said to be a cruel man who cares for nought but money and power. Both of which he has attained in large quantities since his elevation to Governor of Echrem upon his sister's marriage to the Magna of Euchao.
