The Elemental Throne

Far beyond the borders of any known land, atop a towering mountain peak that pierces the clouds, lies a place known as the Elemental Throne. It is said that here, the raw power of nature converges, forming a nexus of energy that flows through the world itself.
To reach this sacred place, one must first undertake a perilous journey through treacherous terrain and unforgiving climates. They must possess the strength of will and the fortitude of spirit to endure the hardships of the journey, for only those who have proven themselves to be worthy can hope to gain access to the Throne.
At the foot of the mountain lies a secret cave, its entrance hidden from view by the surrounding landscape. Within the cave lies a riddle, an enigmatic puzzle that must be solved in order to progress to the next stage of the journey. Those who fail to solve the riddle are doomed to wander the surrounding wilderness, lost forever in a sea of endless snow and ice. Beyond the cave lies a winding path that snakes up the mountain, flanked on either side by sheer cliffs and treacherous ravines. The path is littered with obstacles, traps, and pitfalls, each one designed to test the courage and resourcefulness of those who would seek to reach the Throne.
At the summit of the mountain lies the Elemental Throne, a place of indescribable beauty and power. It is a sacred place of deep reverence, where one can commune with the very essence of nature itself, and gain insight into the mysteries of the world. Towering stone sentries and automated defense systems were put in place by the Watchers to protect the Throne in the unlikely event of an attack.
