The Occult Crescent: South Horn

“

Rising out of the wetlands, this crumbling edifice features a multitude of interlocking stairways and stone platforms. Its architecture does not resemble any known style, although it likely originated in the Fifth Astral Era. Indeed, the indigo blue accents found throughout the structure match descriptions of a color reportedly held sacred by one of the twelve city-states from the period. Sadly, the dearth of archaeological evidence makes comparative studies impossible.

Abandoned Ascent is an area in The Occult Crescent: South Horn. Located in the southwest portion of the map, this area is themed after the city-state of Karnak, which is introduced in the Occult Crescent storyline.

It contains high-level enemies (knowledge level 27-28) and is the most popular location for farming Enlightenment Gold Pieces in a party.

The histories indicate that one Fifth Astral Era city-state revered Nald'thal as god of the forge, its citizens frequently rendering up offerings and lighting sacred beacons to honor His command over the element of fire. For this purpose, circular fora were built atop many public buildings, allowing the people to construct mighty bonfires of worship. A similar feature is present at the summit of the abandoned ascent.
