Category:Zar

The Elder Kingdom of Zar, or Ebonstone as it’s known by outsiders, is situated in an expansive desert valley between two arid mountain ranges. Thousands of years ago, when Zar was at the bottom of the ocean, a section of one of the fabled arc ships that crossed the expanse of space crash landed into the sea. The mission of that particular craft was planet seeding. Engineers at the time designed it as an orbiting station that would eventually have to be decommissioned and crashed into Midian. To avoid too great an impact on extra-terrestrial ecosystems, the ship, composed mostly of a huge biosphere, was constructed with an experimental bio-metal that could not only decompose after a time, but could provide reef habitats in the ocean. And it certainly did that, but after a few millennia coral grew around and in the biospheres’ skeleton, leaving a permanent structure, a fossil of a more technologically advanced age. The sea subsided, leaving an arid valley land with salt flats and jagged hills.
