The Lost City of Aymis

Aymis is the name given to a structure located deep within the Hinathe Desert. Ancient beyond measure, the ruined architecture shows the remnants of a long believed extinct race of "precursors" who appeared in and disappeared from archaeological records suddenly and without warning. Geological data taken from the site suggests that the great wasteland known as the Hinathe Desert was nearly nonexistent during the peak of the precursor's reign. Very little is known about these beings save for the fact that they were extremely advanced compared to the surrounding tribes that existed at the time. So much so that it is long speculated that they may have come to the material plane from another plane of existence for one reason or another.

Long extinct, many many people have tried to breach their way into the sealed structure left behind by it's builders. Unfortunately for would-be treasure seekers, the material that makes up the near entirety of Aymis is seemingly unbreakable by current tools or devices. From bandit clans to empires, non have proven successful in entering the long abandoned "city". Instead preferring to strip the outer shell of the structure of all items of worth, leaving Aymis a barren monument. Today, Aymis is used primarily as a visible landmark in the desert for directing trade as well as a warning for all who approach. The latter is for the strange, unnatural beings that stalk the wasteland surrounding Aymis. Seemingly corrupted by some dark, foul energy present within it.
