Thyrelume (Ruins)

The ruins near The Haile were called Thyrelume in the ancient druidic tongue, and represent the foundation of a sprawling city.

The nearest safe entrance (The Keyhole) is two days’ journey from town (grassland > woods).

Most treasure has already been found, but sometimes new areas are opened up. Good location for finding mushrooms, herbs, and other plants, since the druids knew how to grow all manner of things.

The ruins run under town, but generally aren’t accessible for safety reasons.

"The Keyhole"

The Keyhole is the most common entrance into Thyrelume. It leads to a large underground dome with several different floors, connected to other tunnels.

On the other side of this dome, it connects to The Promenade on the other side, a wide underground street. This leads up to various locations within the Lonely Mountains.

In Sunspeak 1732, the party helped a group of researchers and workers fight off a slime nest they uncovered during their work.

"The Greenhouse"

The Greenhouse is a run-down druidic farming building behind the meadow that serves as a campsite for parties traveling to The Keyhole.

As you approach, you see the structure has a mostly rectangular footprint with round rooms at both ends and the front. It’s large–maybe the size of the largest building back in town–but not massive.

Large stone arches form the backbone of the structure, with smaller stone beams criss-crossing between them. It’s crumbling in places, but you can tell it was a single piece, almost as if it was grown out of stone.

Each beam has a lip, and as you look over the structure you see the reason why–there are still a few square panes of thick, primitive glass perfectly fit into the criss-crosses.

To the back left of the structure, a massive twisting tree juts up out of the top, the stone crushed and broken around it.

The floor is made of stone tiles–obviously colorful at one point, but now faded and dull.

"The Dam"

A structure within Thyrelume. Can be reached from The Haile through the Keyhole, across the dome to the Promenade, and then up a particular set of stairs into a mountain valley. Requires two days' canoeing across a massive reservoir, stopping on islands in the center to camp.

Síorghlas

(sea-rygh-las)

Síorghlas is a relatively newly-discovered ruin in. It was originally nicknamed "the lab" before the adventuring party found a notebook and delivered it to The Library

It once had a forge nearby, leading Delyth Edris to suspect that it was used for aethersteel research or production.

It is two days' journey west of the Crossroads Campsite through Level 2 Woods. This journey follows a shallow valley with a creek through the woods, then across a ridge.

The ruins themselves sit in a basin, which is filled with knee-high water from streams from the foothills of the Lonely Mountains. A bright white tower rises up out of the center, with stairs leading up. Inside a set of bronze doors, a spiral staircase leads deep underground. In the center of the staircase is a moriai sapling, which the druids considered sacred.

A tribe of nekogoblins occupied it when the adventuring party arrived in Sunspeak 1732. When the party ran some bears out of their old cave, they left.

The adventuring party found a leatherbound notebook written in the old druidic script of Islarhi, a magnetic rod, a bag of glowstones, and a blessed water vial.
