Ziregard

While many of the ruins of the Sabo Jungles are old beyond measure, Ziregard is a newer addition, founded only 30 years ago by independent traders attempting to establish an easy trading nexus between the scattered diamond mines of the Gwopesh Jungle and Red Bay. For several years, the settlement boomed - and then went silent. When friends and trading partners from farther downriver investigated, they found both the town and its populace gone, leaving only charred outlines on the ground to show where buildings' foundations had stood. Many blamed the Sabo Products Consortium for putting their competition to the torch, while others pointed to the native diamond miners themselves, positing a revolt or anger over the high tariffs charged by Ziregard's merchants on items moving upriver through their docks. Yet those who have actually visited the scars of Ziregard tell a different story. For though the outlines indeed seem charred, no fire consumes entire structures without leaving ash and detritus or cuts them off smoothly at ground level, as if it had flowed over the stones like water.
