Jovar

Jovar is the Glittering Heaven, and it’s easy to see why. The mountain slopes are literally littered with rubies, garnets, and red diamonds in countless gem fields that stretch in every direction. The rose-colored sky reflects these magnificent gemstones, each one sparkling with an inner light that catches the eye and steals the breath. Archons, who have no need for the priceless gemstones, wander through the fields without purpose as they reminisce about their past lives and deeds. Several enormous ruby heads shaped like dragons with massive wings can be found on Jovar, a token of Sardior presence on this plane.   The rare buildings in this heaven are made in an architectural style reminiscent of feudal Asia, and the culture of the denizen of this heaven is also a reminder of feudal Asian culture.  

Geography

Mount Olympus’ sixth layer, Jovar, is known as the Glittering Heaven with good reason. Countless gemstones litter the mountainside, from small pebble-sized stones to enormous monolithic chunks of inestimable value. It truly is a glittering paradise, but there are some sites that stand above the rest even amongst such breathtaking beauty.  

Glittering Lotus Valley

Secluded between four proud ice mountains sits the quiet splendor of the Glittering Lotus Valley. The floor of this valley is filled with tiny blossoming lotus flowers of varied colors and hues. They are delicate, beautiful, and each constructed of multiple pieces of expertly cut gemstones, giving the entire valley a sparkling luster that dims the surrounding region by comparison.   

Ruby Dragon's Pass

In Jovar, one of the main geographical features to see is the Ruby Dragon's Pass. This is a narrow passageway through the mountains that is lined with glittering ruby walls. The pass is said to be guarded by the Ruby Dragon Sentinels, massive ruby statues in the shape of dragons that come to life and attack intruders. At the end of the pass is the Ruby Dragon's Lair, a palace made entirely out of rubies, where Sardior is said to reside.  

Emerald River

Another place to visit in Jovar is the Emerald River, a river that flows through the gem fields and is said to be infused with healing properties. It is said that if one bathes in the Emerald River, they will be healed of any wounds or illnesses.  

Jade Palade

The Jade Palace is also a must-see in Jovar. This palace is said to be made entirely out of jade. It is said to be surrounded by lush gardens and waterfalls, and the palace itself is said to be a work of art, with intricate carvings and sculptures decorating the walls and halls.  

Sapphire Temple

Lastly, the Sapphire Temple is a grand building made entirely of sapphires. It serves as a hub for the Archon of Jovar. The temple is also home to a powerful magic circles that can imbue objects with magical properties.

Sardior

The Glittering Lotus Valley is often used as Sardior's relaxation garden, and the dragon god take great care of the gem flowers who create each perfect lotus flower through incredible patience and deft handiwork. He can often be found flying over in large circles above the valley, or sitting in silent meditation in the center of the valley.
