Location(s): Western edge of Forest of Amtar

NPCs: Borem, Ezekiel

• Massive stone structure an archway with a flat top. Inside the archway, there are iron rings on both sides. When you look east through the gate towards Amtar, it’s normal. However, if you look west, you end up with a fortress in front of you. You can only see it after you go through. The illusion is slightly off when we look through vs. around the gate. We see what was described in the Brothers of Bal Shadi poem. Initially, we see a view (illusion) that looks similar but much older (trees are younger, etc.). We also see creatures that don’t exist in Amtar that look like they’re guarding the castle. The area looks coastal - like sandy ground, and palm trees. We can almost hear the ocean. The sun appears to be in about the position, maybe a little off. We think it looks farther west and a little farther north. South of the vision is the ocean. It appears to be an island in the center of the Lake of Steam - Arnrock.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  

• Through the gate we discover Borem's castle. We know this location has to do with 39 Jathomite religious figures - they forged a mighty weapon to slay something of enormous power. Has something to do with the Lake of Steam, etc., but we don’t know all the details. We recall 40 people in the story, but somehow 1 escaped or something. (Session 3/15/2026)
