Arteaus

Lastly, Arteaus is a giant ruins. It's like Rome, but completely abandoned. One day, all the residents just vanished into thin air and it's the biggest mystery this world has ever known. It was fucking enormous and can be seen from space. Districts of the city are contested and fought over by all seven nations, turning it into a kind of battleground for looting. Some people consider it a holy place while others thing it's haunted and are morbidly afraid of it. Strange things happen there that people can't seem to explain.

Arteaus

● Ingenious architecture. All proportions of the city are mathematically perfect.

● The city is built around a large waterfall. Imagine cutting a slice out of the side of a Pringles can and setting it up against a waterfall. The city has several layers with a complex system of water channels that direct the flow of water through all districts of the city.

● The highest layers of the city are reserved for the most important members of society.

● There are secluded chambers built behind the waterfall.

● Underneath the vertical part of the city is a sprawling ground level that expands a few kilometers outwards.

● Beneath the ground level of the city is an expansive system of canals.

● Arteaus is thought to be haunted by the seven world powers of Durem. In spite of this, fortune hunters and raiders continue to make forays into the ruins for treasure and spoils.

● Roughly 30% of the people who venture into the ruins of Durem go missing.

● The entire city seems to be constructed of a type of marble that can't be found anywhere else on Durem, making it one of the biggest mysteries of ancient times.

● In the center of the districts on the ground level are giant monoliths that don't seem to serve any particular purpose.

● On the outskirts of the city are hermits who seem to have lost their sanity. It is rumored they are descendents of the original civilization, or that living so close to the city has caused them to lose their mind.
