== Caer Eyrx == Eyrx is the greatest port city in all of Zell. In fact, it is one of the only port cities. However, Eyrx has always had a propensity for bringing in the weird. The locals embrace the unknown instead of shying away from it. Travelers looking for the unexplainable should look no further than Caer Eyrx. ==== Great Harbor of Eyrx ==== It was said that the giants dug out Eyrx’s harbor when the world was young. Scholars cannot confirm this but all data does show that Eyrx’s harbor is abnormally deep. This is to the benefit of the city as it allows great ships sailing from as far as Kvef to dock safely in the waters off the city's bustling shores. ==== Floating Pyramid of Yaal ==== A fixture on the city’s skyline, the Floating Pyramid of Yaal is a marvel. The pyramid is two hundred feet tall and is brimming with primordial magic. What’s more, it floats fifty feet above Eyrx’s harbor. Scholars have yet to determine how exactly the pyramid levitates. Additionally, explorers have confirmed that the pyramid’s interior has at least forty different configurations with all signs pointing to more. The shifting within the pyramid is also unexplainable and undetectable. Scholars have warned explorers from venturing inside the structure but they are often ignored to the detriment of treasure hunters. ==== Coraxian Labyrinth Box ==== Near the center of Eyrx is a pedestal in the middle of a small shrine. This pedestal contains a small black box. The box is guarded at all hours of the day for the safety of the public. A humanoid who touches the box is immediately teleported to another dimension which contains a strange labyrinth. The details of the labyrinth change based on reports from people who have returned. However, each faced a trial to escape the labyrinth. Their reward for escaping the labyrinth is usually a great boon provided by their tester. Although escaping the labyrinth is very rare. One in ten thousand are suspected to succeed. Because of this, the guards only let those who have been given permission by the Mayor to touch the box. ==== Inverted Space Wheel ==== Near the neighborhood known as Finch’s Hollow sits a strange contraption. It is a giant flat circular structure almost four stories high with a singular door and no windows. Every hour, exactly on the hour, the wheel spins. A person who is inside the wheel at the time of its spinning has gravity reversed for them. This reversal lasts until the person falls asleep or the wheel turns again. Once again, scholars are unsure how the wheel works, who made it, and why. ==== Black Stone of Tordeaux ==== Sitting in a glass box near the harbor is the Black Stone of Tordeaux. Many locals refuse to acknowledge it. This is because many think it’s cursed. There are no known incidents regarding people that have supposedly been cursed by the stone. Yet, many scholars refuse to study it. Even the Mayors of Eyrx have declined to comment on the stone. Although sometimes outsiders will say that they see the stone glitter occasionally. When tracked down by researchers, those people report that they have suffered no ill effects after observing the stone. To this day, the Black Stone of Tordeaux continues to be a mystery. ==== Albatross Tower ==== Overlooking the harbor stands the Albatross Tower. Its many flags waving in the wind is just as much a symbol of Eyrx as the pyramid. This tower which stands just under ninety-feet tall is the home of Eyrx’s mayor. The current mayor is Alphonse Astot as of 701 AR.
