Shrine of the World Dragon
Located in Ilithi, the Shrine itself was originally built by Sh'kial and the followers of his sect of Dragon Priests. Following his death, the shrine has seen varied use from both the Sect of Sh'kial, the Sect of Dzree (the Dragon Priest Empire) and today, is used by many Ilithi locals to garner favors with the Immortals.
Shrine Rooms
[Wyvern Mountain, Dragon Shrine]
Six carved columns of pale marble support an enormous vaulted ceiling. Silvery sand covers the floor, while an enormous dragon, carved of smoky black quartz, lies in the center of the room. The unknown artist who carved the creature depicted it asleep, curled about a jasper globe. Next to it sits a white marble statue of a S'kra Mur woman of twisted body yet serene expression. An open flame burns on an altar on a raised dais near the globe.

- a white marble statue of a S'kra Mur woman playing a golden harp
- The statue, carved from fine white marble, depicts a S'kra Mur woman. Her face is disfigured by the empty socket of her left eye, her right leg is twisted beneath the folds of her gown. Yet despite her wounds, her expression is serene as she plays her golden harp. Water flows someplace nearby, the rippling noise echoing musically throughout the cavern, as though the statue was playing. A black onyx king snake coils at the feet of the woman, its emerald eyes unwinking in the flickering light.
[Wyvern Mountain, Raised Dais]
The view atop the raised dais is impressive, gazing into the dragon's yawning maw. The artist faceted each individual dragon scale on the smokey black quartz beast, causing them to glitter as they reflect the light. Flames flicker above a white marble altar, though neither wick nor candle may be seen. The overall impression is one of awe, and perhaps... fear.
Obvious exits: down.
- white marble altar
- White marble has been polished smooth, its gentle curves seemingly grown rather than carved. Flames flicker in the air above small holes in the far side of the altar, leaping up to illuminate the statue of the Dragon.
