Philomythes Notos is an area in Elpis, The World Unsundered.
Landmarks
Propylaion
This structure is known as the foregate of Elpis, and houses a teleportation device bound to the main metropolises. Similar facilities were said to be found not only in Amaurot, but in every single region of the ancient world.
First Bloom
A small island welcomes visitors descending the stairs from Propylaion, its fluttering inhabitants offering a first taste of the creative marvels which await them in the environs beyond.
Noetophoreon
A lone tree grows on this small isle found in the southwest of Philomythes Notos, the species of its blossoms said to vary depending on the season and ambient aether conditions. Planted soon after Elpis was constructed, its ephemeral beauty convinced researchers to allow it to grow long after they had concluded their observations.
The Cthonic Horns
The researchers of this small facility are unlike their colleagues in that they seek to manifest new creations without the aid of creation magicks. Their natural breeding program pairs creatures with differing characteristics, relying, purely on chance to conceive heretofore unimagined possibilities.
The Mourning Dew
No research is conducted on this isle where observers come to sit and read, or simply stretch out on the warm flagstones. Situated in the east of Philomythes Notos, the aether-rich winds blowing over from Lethe also attract familiars seeking to restore their flagging spirits.
