The thousand year old city was built of white stone on and around a vast flat-topped hill known as Jen'rahb, which was said to contain the compacted ruins of an ancient city nine times that age. Even the elaborate "new" temples, estates, and towers built atop the Jen'rahb's summit had long since collapsed and been abandoned. Only a tumbled maze of shattered limestone, bricks, sinkholes, pools of standing water, and leaning towers remained. Before leaving the city, traders assembled in a square a hundred paces inside of Caravan Gate.
