Description

Surrounded by lush fields of wildflowers growing along flowing streams. White marbled roads led up to the titanic iron gate. Walls as tall as a forest encircled the city with magnificent battlekeeps perching even higher along the wall.

Inside was a city of refined beauty. Buildings constructed by master architects almost seemed like the work of magic itself. Towers and smaller rectangular buildings made up the outskirts of the city with a large garden in the center of the city. There were many ornate trees and bushes also terraces with vines hanging from them. A circular pond with crystal clear war and rare floating flowers was the centerpoint of the garden.

The Grand Temple was the tallest building in Proudstone. In the shape of a pyramid without a top, the temple sat on the tallest hill in the city with the marble road leading right to the old stone steps of the temple itself. Outside leading up to the temple were six colored obelisks.

Below the temple were the catacombs for the Knights who had fallen in battle, some say tunnels existed below the tunnel but the Ruins of Proudstone have become lost to time and nature.
