The City of Agni
Far into the desert if one travels far beyond all one knows, one may come across the Divine City of the God. Located deep, deep within the desert the city is concealed from most mortals… and those who find it are considered lucky indeed. One must go to the Edge of the World where the sands seem to fall off the edge of the earth and travel the Bridge, which is present only during twilight, to reach the city. Yet, even then the bridge seems to go on endlessly and many fall from the path before making it to the paradise of the Fire God’s home. Once there, however, one will be amazed and astonished beyond all things, for there… it is utter Eden. The city is very large and very massive, and reaches high into the sky. Waterfalls fall from buildings, and basking pools and public baths are fair to find. Colorful silks and clothes hang from doorways and windows, and those favored by the God are permitted the luxuries of the City, to taste the ambrosia of the Celestials. Angels of Fire, loyal to the King are found in plenty, and in the Sanctuary, only those who are invited are permitted. The Sanctuary is the home of the God, and rises high into the sky beyond all other buildings and homes. The Sanctuary is also the manor of the Queens, Lords, and Council of the Fire Realm, and is the place of the Court.
