Ravinia

Ravinia (In Celestial : Ravinia Glorios) is a legendary city and civilization first mentioned in Heckle's dialogues On Living, On the History of The Northern Continent, and the epic poem Ille Draconum. It was supposedly located to the north of Point North, Goneril on The Northern Continent, and supposedly existed sometime around the beginning of the Second Age.
Ravinia was supposedly the central city of the Harmonians Empire. In Heckle's account, Ravinia was a naval power lying "to the north of the Strand of Orc" on The Northern Continent that conquered many parts of Northern Eon and Nyasa eight thousand years before the arrival of Jergal to the Throne of Discord, an event with no known historical time. After a successful attempt to release a Frozen Fate on the Discordian city Eldergrin, Ravinia "sank into the folds of the multiverse in shame" and was never seen from again.
Scholars dispute whether and how much of Heckle's story or account was inspired by older traditions. Some scholars argue Heckle drew upon memories of past events such as the Discordian War or the Founding of Malvont. The possible existence of a genuine Ravinia was discussed throughout antiquity, but it was usually rejected and occasionally parodied by later authors.
==In Eon==
A small figurine of a ziggurat was recovered from Orcus's treasure. Meditating on Ravinia in Anahita's viewing pool showed a picture of this ziggurat. The party is currently trying to get it back from an antique shop. 
Ashra's theory that the Gloriosa Family is named for Ravinia Glorios was confirmed by Ganth, who said they are themselves Ravinians. Ganth has offered the party help in chasing them to Ravinia after the party returns the Baetyl to its proper resting place.
