[Zephyria: Capital City]
[Kantar Palace]
The palace was surrounded by a massive moat, not of water, but of molten glass. Massive bridges of polished sandstone, lined with mosaics of lapis lazuli and carnelian, stretched over the moat, connecting the outside world of the desert and city to the palace's towering gates. The gates themselves, forged from enchanted adamantine, stood over 100 feet tall and were decorated with reliefs of constellations that seemed to shift and shimmer.
Above the gates, a vast dome of crystal rose, refracting the sunlight into a thousand rainbows that moved across the desert sands. Surrounding the palace were enormous statues of the Gods, each so large that they seemed to challenge the palace's dominion. Alyssia noted how familiar they looked: Ira-Dan, the Celestial Judge, Ahn-Tor, the Guardian of Horizons, and Vath'Zorah, the Weaver of Storms.
