**Ragnath: The Crystal Tower**

The crystalline asteroid has embedded itself into the ruins of Adoniram Tower, the former headquarters of Scholae Palatinae. The crystal structure that’s arisen now glows as a haunting specter of the building it replaced.

Rising 400 meters the eerie red light pulses, illuminating the ruined cityscape. While the core is solid, natural plateaus have formed at random intervals. These platforms range in size from 2 meters to 45 meters with some smooth and others jagged.

At the base of the hellish spire are the remains of both the asteroidal seed and Adoniram Tower. Chucks of smoldering rock and twisted metal framework liter the base. The cast off Scholae Palatinae crest which once rested upon Adoniram Tower rests broken upon the ground, bathed in the glow of its successor.

The conflicts with the Children of Mortis have not left the Sadowan capital world untouched. The history of invasions, attacks, and even civil war do not compare to the great scar left on the earth by the asteroid seedling deployed by the Children. A great crater stretches deep and wide into the ground.

Where one might expect little more than an impact site or perhaps some debris, you find that the machinations of the enemy have left crystalline spires. Eerily reminiscent of poorly-planned city buildings or thickly trunked trees, these structures are spaced seemingly haphazard. From each thick base, the more tree-looking branches sprout, many being thick enough to allow an adult-sized sentient to step or climb up their height. Still, the proximity and number of structures might allow one to hide among the branches and columns of this unnatural forest.

Below, the earth has been turned up. This has left loose dirt, ground rock, and mud at the base of crater. A stink permeates this wretched site, hinting at death and decay in the face of disaster. There are no hints of life, save for the combatants. The war's scars have run deep on Sepros.

Jedi Praxeum (CoM Tainted Edition)
Kiast

Perched high atop the Or’ena Mountains, safely above the thick poisonous atmosphere that envelope the lower valleys of Kiast, sits a grand temple that was once a Sephi military outpost. Gifted to the Odanites as a show of good faith by the inhabiting Vatali, the Praxeum, with its five towering spires, is the seat of power for Clan Odan-Urr and the premier academic academy in the region. It is here, students learn everything from humanities and governance to military tactics and combat as well as how to hone their Force abilities and live within the Odanite Code. Many great Odanites have once walked the halls as aspiring students and still to this day return to expand their knowledge or use what they have learned to enlighten those just beginning their journey.

The grounds at the base of the Praxeum are strewn with sandy fighting arenas and well manicured lawns surrounded by lush meadows, various ponds and trees that dot the landscape. The grounds atop the mountain allow for unparalleled views that stretch hundreds of miles in all directions. A gentle breeze softly rustles the leaves and tall grasses allowing for one to clear their mind, feel the Force envelope them and be at peace. However, during the attack by the Children of Mortis and the heavy bombardment by their crystalline monstrosities, towering red crystal structures now protrude out from the ground. Stretching several meters out from these structures, the soil is overturned from the impact, and devoid of all life. Grass and trees are brown and rotting while all animals stay clear of the ominous energy still pulsing out from within the crystals. This once calming place has taken on a more ominous feel, especially for those sensitive to the Force.

Caution must be taken around the crystals as well as near the surrounding cliffs. While the area is temperate, the flat terrain and lack of natural cover from distant mountains offers little protection from the high winds of a passing storm. Despite being high above the surface, the atmosphere is that of any other Type I planet.

Crimson Solari Cave

There is an opening at the base of the mountain that shows signs of archaeological excavations. It tunnels deep underground and reveals a cavern that is filled with crystals. There is barely any light unless given, though abandoned old lanterns that could still be operable with the right mechanics litter the area. The walls, ceilings, and pillars host growing crystals that all reflect the same color. Upon closer inspection, they have been revealed to be solari crystals, though they reflect a dark red when receiving light. It is said that ancient Tarentateks lived under the mountain, and their Dark Side energies tainted the once pure crystals into their current color. Force-sensitives within proximity of the presence of these crystals is clouded by the Dark Side, interfering with their ability to sense in the Force, decreasing it’s skill by 1. It’s power in the Dark Side grants the user an enhanced effect of Rage, increasing its skill by +1. Those without any skill in rage will be granted the force power at +1.

Vicious rain lashes through the thick mist veiling the crater in a crimson hue. Crystalline fingers reach into the sky, forming a labyrinth of dark corners and twisted passageways. It's the third night since the crystal pierced the sky and the Arroyo district is ghost-quiet, but for the shriek of raptors lurking in the mist.
