Ruins (Part 1)

As Kaizen, Xisrith, and the guide approached the imposing ruins, the grandeur and majesty of the ancient structure was revealed before their eyes. The structure stood like a solitary fortress, most of it buried by the desert sands over the centuries.

Al-Zahir paused for a moment to take in the sight before them, then looked at Kaizen and Xisrith with a glint in his eye. "These ruins are silent witnesses to the glorious past of this region. What was once the great capital of the Kingdom of Vrikhodour now lies in the merciless embrace of the desert. They are a portal to a forgotten era, a gateway to the secrets and mysteries still waiting to be unraveled."
