Zeydrith is the capital of Soltheris in Xalmyrra. The royal court is based in the Luminary Halls, beside the city plaza.
Layout
The Luminar River divides Zeydrith. An eastern bridge crosses the river toward the rocky slopes and mountains east of the city. Roads westward connect Zeydrith with Irrathis through the farmlands of Teryndal.
Zeydrith is built largely from dark stone, with tall, angular buildings and little wood. Constellations are inscribed into the tiles along its main roads, forming maps that guide people through the city. The crystalline Luminary Halls stand among its spires, above a broad flight of stairs. An essence tower near the plaza recharges and redistributes essence cores.
The city has markets, residential districts and an airship landing platform.
Engineering and Education
The Artisan Guild stands north of the plaza. Its dark stone building has a broad, arched entrance and a cavernous hall where engineers and mages work on machinery and magical devices. Its work includes defensive enchantments and essence technology.
During Aurion’s reign, Thalvian served as the guild’s master engineer. Aurion financed his development of an orrery, tested in a clearing south of Zeydrith. The king sought stronger defenses without further draining the people and land, while the guild struggled with scarce resources.
Zeydrith’s magic school has extensive libraries. Kaelion studied temporal magic there.
Government
Aurion rules Soltheris from the Luminary Halls with ministers and advisors. Daryas handles much of the practical administration while Aurion pursues his magical research.
History
Plaza Explosion
A guild engineer lost control of his essence near the plaza and exploded, killing people, destroying market stalls and stone facades, and leaving a crater. Aurion shielded part of the crowd, and Seralyth helped heal the injured. Repairs left visible cracks in the plaza’s constellation tiles.
Cataclysm and Rebuilding
The cataclysm, caused by the collision of Xalmyrran cycles, made the Luminar River overflow, set forests burning and triggered eruptions in the eastern mountains. Mages protected Zeydrith with layered cosmic barriers. Earth mages repaired the city afterward, and most of its streets and buildings were restored during Aurion’s reign.
