The Sithi Nine Cities were nine great cities founded by the Gardenborn when they fled Venyha Do'sae, the Lost Garden, millennia earlier. The cities were great master-works in addition to housing the Sithi, Norns, and their kin for eons. Each of the Nine Cities had a Master Witness, which allowed for communication to the other cities, even across great distances. The cities were slowly abandoned due to environmental factors or invasion. Da'ai Chikiza - the remnants of this city are lost in Aldheorte Forest, near the River Aelfwent. Kementari - lost city on or near Warinsten Island.
