Irraz Ruins
Today, much of Irraz is underwater. Although quite expansive, this lake is rather shallow, rarely reaching depths of over 20 feet. The majority of the buildings in Irraz were made of wood, and these have collapsed and rotted into tangled piles of debris over the centuries. The lake bed is crisscrossed by a tangled network of canals, all that remains of the city’s streets, deeper by 10 feet on average than the mounds of ruins around them. The waters are quite murky: Submerged creatures can see only 30 feet, even on sunny days. Not all of Irraz’s buildings have collapsed. A fair number of stone buildings survive, most completely submerged but a few protruding several feet above the surface of the murky waters of the lake. Two of the stone buildings are noticeably larger and better preserved than the others: the old bell tower (area 2 on the accompanying map) and the Irraz Town Hall (area 3). Also surviving are numerous statues of lions in various poses. The citizens of Irraz had a particular affinity for the proud cats, and lion visages often graced their buildings (a heritage the folk of Thas Talor preserve to this day). Statues of guardian lions stood in front of important sites. Even bits and pieces of ancient armor, weapons, and other relics.
