Drahbes¶
Drahbes was an ancient city-state in the northeastern Gulf of Drehmal which rose above its competitors in early Av2, becoming the dominant political power in the key region of Dreh'Noha. Its ruins, built overwhelmingly of granite, are home to the Ancient Crown artifact.
Drahbes may have been the precursor to Old Drabyel and/or the Chosen Kingdom, which would eventually evolve into the realm-spanning Avsohmic Empire.
Location
Approximate Coordinates: 1583, 65, -377
Drahbes is located around the border of Dreh'Noha, Purity Peaks, and Akhlo'Rohma.
Layout/Points of Interest¶
Most of Drahbes is surrounded by a granite and brick wall. Small buildings hold decent assorted loot.
A statue of Drehmal built out of granite, one of many throughout the Central Regions which holds hints for their devotion offerings, is found along the shoreline.
The main feature of the ruins is a large ziggurat-like structure in the west. Climbing to its top and digging through the one copper block leads down to a chamber with the Ancient Crown artifact.
To the west, outside the old city's walls, a few small huts can be found with living Drehmari villagers.
Lore¶
Drahbes was the most powerful political force in Central Drehmal during the early Second Avihm. Their exact history is not at all well known, but it is believed that they were a progenitor to the Chosen Kingdom, from which Avsohm would eventually arise.
Today, a small group of Drehmari live in a settlement next to the ruins, possibly studying it in an archeological capacity.
