Takshila

Written by Pookas Kreations

Takshila is the Holy Island in the center of Lemuria. The center is presided over by a large extinct volcano with the top blown off.

The Temple of Takshila has an ever flowing fountain that feeds all the waterways on Lemuria. The fountain has a built-in safety feature that controls the water level; only enough is released to keep the levels to capacity but not over or under.
