The Seat of the World The Seat of the World is a cave that has lasted even the chaos of the Valterrian. Back before the catastrophe had struck, the Seat (as it is shortened to) was a haven for travelers trekking through the unpredictable Wildlands, set dead center in the region of Sylira and precisely 15 days by horseback from both Zeltiva and Syliras. The limestone created overhangs above that sheltered people from the elements, and below, in the center of the "cave" was a tree. Sprouting like a beacon amidst the stone, it rose above and beyond the walls of the cave and further proved to be a guardian that shielded weary travelers and provided them with shelter. When the Valterrian struck, the tree was destroyed during the collapse of several overhangs, further widening the Seat. Water now trickles down in miniature waterfalls around the perimeter of the cave, and a new batch of plants have sprouted in the mound of earth that lay at the center. Travelers may continue to use the Seat of the World when they find themselves lost or weary, as nature, here in particular, lends a helping hand. |
