The Block

<-- Lunar Empire or Silver Shadow

The Block itself is visible for a days journey in all directions within the Silver Shadow provance.

It is on the edge of a huge crator. From a distance it appears as a giant cube, but closer examination shows that it is irregular in places, with small peaks and missing chunks. The Block's appearance varies greatly with the seasons and the whims of the Bull. Sometimes it glows with an eerie purple that rivals the luminance of the Glowline. At other times it is the jet black hue that also colors the storm clouds which it seems to attract. Lightning and thunder constantly rage somewhere near the Block, whether above it or in the direction of the Storm Hills. Some say the Storm Gods themselves whips up tremendous dust storms that sweep across the desert at the foot of this relic of days gone by. The Block is sometimes described as being approximately 1/2 mile on each side and 2 miles high, but it has never truly been measured accurately.

The block, that has shaped the growth of civilisation for generations. It is said to be stormy, alive with power, mystical and hard. Weapons made it help protected Lunar City from undead and allowed the Empire to form and grow to what it is today.
