A Ruined City

The city itself is made up of multi-leveled temples, bridges and arches, all designed to embrace the surrounding jungle rather than push it back. Lazy canals not unlike those found in the Water Sector in Keeliai meander their way through the ground level, though many are now clogged with native jungle plants. An ambitious person(s) might find a couple day's hard work clearing them out, which surely the Arybar might appreciate. They'll only ask that the Foreigners stay out of the long planted rows of crops that are nestled in the dozens of old courtyards, because this is the middle of their growing season. Other than these areas, they don't mind exploration.

Despite evidence that the city has been abandoned for centuries, the buildings remain in astoundingly good shape beneath the encroaching jungle foliage. The stone is all intact, apparently no worse for weathering so many years. Something interesting of note is that there are basically no remains of the monks who were living here: no abandoned furniture, remnants, evidence of these buildings being lived in at all. It's actually so pristine that it's... spooky.
