Obelisk of Qamiya

The Obelisk of Qamiya (Tekhanau A'ashkotis in Nabut) is an Elven Tower that is located in the city of Qamiya, the capital of the Dominion of Ashura. To this date, it stands as the only mega-obelisk of the Dominions prior to the current one.
The Obelisk is powered by a magical source that protrudes a beam of light into the sky that seems to warp around the region, but it appears to not do anything, as the lighting of the surrounding sides appear to be red. Papyrus scrolls and books that were deciphered or translated by Qanti speakers, indicated that this obelisk's original purpose was one of the four terraforming devices that stood in the region, with this obelisk being responsible for attempting to change most of whatever wetlands and grasslands in the region into savanna capable for habitation for the Dune Elves.
The Obelisk would remain the only standing Obelisk following the end of the Second Dominion of Ashura. Previously, there were four of them, with the largest one being located in the center of the Ashuran Desert. The Obelisk would be often built over, with it collapsing multiple times since the years under Ryzan's Alum Province. When the Aurlûnor Velande took control of the region, the obelisk was repaired, with the parts of the device being repaired, but not activated. Multiple parts of the top were re-fitted to function as a lighthouse for ships coming into Qamiya harbor.
