Throne of Baal
>Throne of Baal
The meaning of the name Baalthaaz is “Throne of Baal,” and the country has a holy site with that name carved into a sheer mountain cliff in the western Scythirian Mountains, north and east of Laishah. While it was originally a natural formation, over many years, devotees have worked the surrounding rock into elaborate decorations such that it does indeed have the appearance of a gigantic throne, with arms that look like giant bear paws and a mass of misshapen demons writhing beneath the seat. The view is impressive; if Baal truly sat there, he would be able look right across his country to the sea that bears his name. A curse would supposedly come to anyone else who dares sit there, but people sometimes make the journey to pray at the throne’s foot when beseeching their deity for a special favor.
