The White Cathedral

One of the first things the Eye of Wisdom did when it reached the shores of the Candara continent, was to erect a city out of the white granite from the Silverspring Plain. This happened 120 years ago and the construction work lasted 20 years. The name of the city was Varanas.
During the next century Varanas prospered and evolved into what it is today. In all that time the Eye of Wisdom took care of the city with grim determination, even though they publicly stressed that this place was only meant as a stronghold.
Their true intentions lay hidden, but plenty of rumors abounded.
In the last years the Council of Varanas evolved into a mighty opponent and shook the balance of power in the city. It combines the most distinguished families, which visibly lay the claim to control the matters of the city without interference. But in the Council itself there are various fractions that compete for power and influence and accuse each other of corruption and incompetence.
Varanas’ high walls and its revered buildings cause many travelers to pause in awe the moment they catch a glimpse of it on the horizon. The city is glorified as the pristine connection of the art of masonry reaching towards the heavens.
Others are not swayed by its beauty and vilify it as the home of greed and unparalleled arrogance. But only thugs, crooks and other criminals think that way and so they were banned years ago.
Even though there are different opinions about the beauty of Varanas, the only way to find out the truth is to visit and experience The White Cathedral oneself.
