Points of Interest

Ræ Agà Mudâ was unknowingly built atop something unstable, and now that substrate is crumbling. It may be swampy ground or a decaying coastline, or it could be an ancient buried city that’s now giving way. In the case of some antique habitation, the denizens that once lived there might be boiling upward as their home is collapsing, or new opportunities may be revealed even as the community’s present structure is ruined.

Ræ Agà Mudâ's is something of a geological and arcane anomaly, as neither physical nor magical law entirely explains its formation.
