Ruins of the Hub

The ruins of the hub are a ruined circle of monolithic stones. They are all that remains of a once grand magical building that housed multiple Travel gates to the capitols of most of the nations of the old world (at least the western nations). During the fall of Valdrakas and the Explosion that created the Dark sea the Building imploded and only a few of the gates were left standing and inactive. The Ruins are now a closely guarded secret and research site for the Mages Collegium as they try to learn the secrets of the Travel gates and re-create them. Currently there are two known active gates, one to The City of Merchants and one to the Capitol of the Black Isles. The Ruins are currently guarded by top members of the Knights of the Guilded Rose and Knights of the Vigilant Aegis. The existence of the Gates is a highly secret matter and closely guarded.
