Look to the skies for the order of Iron and Brass.  Amongst the many and varied sky pirates, shipping lines and military flotillas a rumor circulates about ships of unidentifiable origen ships that gleam with scintilating metallic color in the far heights rarely visible by the strongest spyglass.  I have seen them.  They are not Ianer.  They are shining in the night and sweat cold...

For what unknown race fachions these fantastic ships bristeling with alien cannon and belching smoke that twists unaffected by the wind perhaps these are other threats greater ones than even Mirkule from beyond the sky.

The Forgotten Villa

Found in Noell across the straits from Edyss this mysterious structure appears to have been built before teh endwar yet shows little external wear while the land around it is a blasted scar stretching for miles. Made entirely of dark gray marbel this villa is the site of many strange occurrences and unexplained phenomena.

One strange occurence associated with the villa is the presence of a boat that moves slowly across the straits towards the Edyssian shore piloted by an incredible beautiful woman dressed in a flowing white gown.  The appearance if the lady in white always seems to carry with it mysterious abductions insanity and grisly murders.  Multiple Edyssian expeditions have ventured across the straits to the villa but no two descriptions if its interrior are the same.  One reports that the villa is completely empty.  Another tells of a procession of chanting moaning figures gathered in some inexplicable ritual who reacted not at all th the Edyssian.  Still another report describes a labyrinthine interrior populated by ravinous shadekin.  That expedition barely escaped.

Finally one team later wrote that there appeared to be no means to enter the villa.  No doors no windows just featureless walls of very solid marble.

While these reports differ about what the villa contains what is known is that it is unclear when the villa was built by whom who lived there and what happened to its inhabitants and when they left.  The general feeling is that the villa and its environs are very unhealthy to mind shadow and body even the Neolli shun the place.

The Draken Doors
Remnants if the Ushonu these massive stone arches were once used by the Ashar to travel instantaniously from place to place undetected.  During the endwar most were destroyed until perhaps a few dozen at most were left.  Those that were left were active still yet dangerous to use.  Most of their locations are unknown or deem in remote and dangerous lands such as Darkfall while one is located in western Vallui surrounded by an entire instilation built only to contain it.  In the high mountains of the southern interrior of Ballior the ruins of many Draken Doors have been discovered near the dwon if Kurhalm some of which are believed to be active during certain pahses of the moon.

Arteries of the World
Unrelated to the term given to the Ylar ley lines by the ancient Dolorri the modern reference describes a system of tunnels that streaches from thousands of miles beneath the surface.  The tunnels are massive in hight explorers describing sheer walls of polished stone or metal passages lit by the occasional growth of phosphorescent fungi,  But they all describe the dangers that lurk in its vastness.  Terrible shadekin prowl the arteries tearing at eachother in the darkness.  Some believe that the arteries that they are another creation of the Ushonu One supposedly leads straight into the mythical ruin of Ushonudi
