The Great Ruins of Xrieng

The Great Ruins of Xrieng are one of The Nine Landmarks of Dliharia. The Great Ruins of Xrieng, often called "the Great Ruins" or "Xrieng", are the remains of the once prospering city Xrieng that is believed to have been the capital of The Old World. The Great Ruins are located in the great wasteland in the western region of Galkav on the continent of Dliharia. The Great Ruins are famous for their mythical attributes and the mysteries that surround them. It is believed by locals of Galkav that The Great Ruins are the resting grounds of The Old Gods and they therefore act as the main pilgrimmage site for Galkav's western cultures and religions.

The Ruins are believed to be at least a millenia old but the time and cause of Xrieng's demise are mostly unknown. The most popular theory states that Xriengs downfall might have coincided with the formation of the wasteland that nowadays surrounds its ruins. Fossils, animal remains, and dried up riverbeds suggest that what is now known as a harsh wasteland in the western part of Galkav might once have been a flourishing landscape filled with exotic flora and fauna.
