Avar

Avar is a formerly Dalmer city in the region of Gorandar. The city is currently occupied by elves who inhabit and excavate its many secrets.
== Construction ==
The construction of the city was engineered to remain on a stable tectonic plate underneath one of the shallow areas of the desert. The area was also constructed to benefit from the aquifer that is found underneath it. The city was built into three stone formations in close proximity to each other.
Unstable activity underneath the city however caused the three pillars to sink into the sand. In order for the sand dunes to be kept at bay, a device known as the Tides of Sand was used.
== Layout ==
=== The Quarter of Wonders ===
The city was well known for its cultural quarter known as the Quarter of Wonders, where ancient artifacts and the highest technologies of the city were kept. The quarter was on the outskirts of town and would become buried in the sand when the city lost power.
=== The Gallery quarter ===
The quarter itself is staffed by mechanimal tigers for security and prehensile floating carpets for maintenance and exposition of the pieces. The Quarter of Wonders is also a storage locker for dangerous technologies. Examples of this technology is a diamond that houses the whereabouts of all the people in an area, if the person using the machine thinks of someone, the machine can find the person.﻿
=== The Well quarter ===
The well quarter (government plaza to the Dalmer) was the center of the city where the wishing well was located. The well was protected by Rhombus, an AI who chose who could wield the wells powers to govern the city. 
== History ==
The city of Avar was the first settlement built by the Dalmer in Gorandar. Built on top of the only stable tectonic plate of the desert and on top of a natural aquifer, the city itself was built into three stone pillars. Soon though, seismic activity sunk the pillars it was built essentially in a hole in the desert. In order to not sink under the sands, a technology known as the Tides of Sand kept the sand dunes from covering the city.
===The fall of Avar===
The city was forcefully evacuated when the wishing technology was opened to all, and the city’s power grid shut down for thirteen seconds. Unfortunately the time was enough for disaster to strike. Without power the city could no longer keep back the sands using the Tides of Sand technology, and it was evacuated via mass warp out. When power returned to the city, the Tides of Sand managed to keep a portion of the city out of the sand. In the throne room, the wishing well technology reverted to its factory settings so only someone worthy could use it.
