Naunium

Naunium is a tiefling empire era ruin located out at sea to the south of Cornumbra.

Description
Naunium was a large city in its time but since the fall of the empire in Grand Pridain the lesser structures have disintergrated. This, of course, was only worsened by its eventual sinking. Now all that remains are the remnants of the larger stone structures that made up the centre of the city. Above the sea only the tops of towers, temples and aquaducts can be accessed, which have been connected with a maze of wooden walkways and bridges.

There is a small population of settlers that post-dates the sinking of the city made up of exiles and prisoners from the Isles of Anvil. Legends say these people descend from the final banished crew of the legendary captain Gospia Umberton.

History
It is said that Naunium was dragged out to sea on the day Mrevain bound the sea spirits due to its historical significance to their cults. Ever since it has been a source of omens and ghost stories, especially for sailors and fishers who say that to sail near the ruins is tempting fate at the best of times.

Naunium is currently designated as a site of interest by the High Academy of Rites and is thus illegal for anyone to enter without a writ of passage. It is currently held by Grand Mage of Rites Dolfgar Anemms.
