158 Eidaran Ruins

"Do you know what this place is?" Arran asked, his eyes fixed on the shattered city before them.

"I do," Snowcloud said. "This is Uvar, one of the largest cities of the Eidaran Empire — or at least, it used to be. It was home to millions before it fell." A wry smile appeared on her face. "I knew it had fallen, but I never expected this."

Arran could hear some shock in her voice, and he understood well how she felt. Although he had never heard of the city before today, just the sight of a city so grand being destroyed and abandoned was almost incomprehensible.

The crumbling city walls looked like they had once been dozens of feet tall, and beyond them, Arran could see towers rising up from the city, continuing for miles in the distance. Yet the towers, too, were broken and crumbling — giant remnants of what must once have been colossal palaces and castles.
