Arghba

The ruins of Arghba is what remains from an old settlement of the extincted Sandmen civilization in the middle of the Cali desert, around 3 days of walking distance south of Isaha. The main building is the pyramid that takes the same name as the ruins.

The pyramid of Arghba is the most famous remaining of the Sandmen civilization and the only one that is preserved in its original form and intact shape. The construction is a 100 meters tall, 200 by side, perfect tetrahedral with a single entrance in one of its sides. At each of its vertices there is a replica of the main pyramid but much smaller and without a visible entrance.

The contrast with the ruins surrounding the pyramid complex is huge, as at a few steps from the pyramid there are a group of around twenty other smaller buildings completely worn off by the pass of time to the point that only a few walls still remain.

A hundred years ago, the powerful Stonehammer clan celebrated the wedding of its heir in the pyramid. Hundreds of dwarves were invited and nobody knows what happened next, but none of the assistants to the event was seen again alive. The numerous expeditions that went afterwards to Arghba in the search of the clan members yielded no results and since then the place is been marked as cursed.
