Not built on the mountain, but carved from it. Buildings that seemed to grow from the stone, with architecture that reminded Jorghan of ancient civilizations from his studies, Greek columns merged with Atlantean geography, creating structures that felt both familiar and alien. Terraces and platforms connected by bridges and stairs, gardens somehow thriving despite the altitude, and water features that shouldn't exist on a mountainside but did anyway.
The city climbed the mountain face in carefully planned tiers, each level distinct but harmoniously integrated with the whole. At the summit, partially obscured by clouds, stood a domed structure that seemed to crown the entire complex.
But what truly shocked Jorghan was what he saw when Kaleth banked to give them a better view.
Behind the mountain was nothing.
No more mountains, no descending slopes, just a void.
A massive cliff face dropping away into darkness so absolute it seemed to swallow light.
