	~~:''This complex~~ is ~~the former seat of the Obsidian government. When you first enter this complex through the passage in the rock face of the [[Epitaph]],~~ a huge plateau of earth and stone thrust up by the [[Cataclysm]], you will travel through a huge passage deep into the earth flanked by carved stone dragon heads which act as sentinels, and which match the huge ones on the outside of the entrance. The passage opens into a vast cave called the [[Cavern of Night]], where the Old City’s basement layers are exposed around a funnel of ruins leading to the edge of an enormously deep shaft that descends into the heart of the plateau’s inner core. The [[Acolyte’s Stair]] descends into the terrors below. Over two centuries ago unfortunate prisoners were led by the dozens into this place, around the walkway to the right of the stairs, and into the upper dungeons on the opposite side of the great shaft. After they were processed they would be taken down the second staircase, known as the [[Long Stair]], on a singular path that would lead down into oppressive darkness to only one terrible destination, the dreaded subterranean laboratories of the [[Reshapers]].<br><br>The desert people that dwell outside the walls surrounding the Epitaph throw their criminals and captured rivals into the ruins beyond the wall, and some of them seek shelter from the burning sun in the Cavern of Night. Those that have survived have claimed the old upper prison ruins as their own, and use the two stairways as choke-points to slaughter the many insane and horrid creatures that rise up from the depths.<br><br>The Pool of Destiny lies far, far below… The shaft of the stairs allow for a few harrowing fights with ascending monstrosities, while simultaneously enjoying the view of the Obsidian Falls, which plummet into the caves below, before finally getting to the bottom. A path leads down the center of the cave toward Fate’s Lake, beside the arcing end of the Long Stair. Here, visiting dignitaries and members of the Obsidian Court once looked down to their left and saw the majesty of the Cascades where the falls pour down toward the lake, or gazed down to their right upon the poor souls being led to their doom.''<ref>[[Update of the Avatar]] [https://www.shroudoftheavatar.com/?p=~~52441 #137 - 2015.08.07 ~ Architecture of the Obsidians, Part 4: Desolis Underground!]<~~/~~ref~~>~~<br><br>''Near the center~~ of the town of Desolis is a prison composed of the fortress walls of what had long ago been the seat of power for the once mighty Obsidian Empire.
