The Pillars of Cor

As each new dawn breaks over the island nation of Calderra, its beams pierce through the narrow space that lies between the Pillars of Cor. As each sun sets, the Pillars ward off the oncoming night. Guarding the eastern entrance to the circular bay, these colossal statues face out against the storms and dangers of the Broken Realm that may threaten those that dwell in peace within the ring of islands.

Shaped from two, long, thin, wedge-shaped islands, these statues are a testament to the earth-shaping power of the heroes of old. They are attributed to Sir Cor Earthshaker, one of the ancient Companions of the Lost King. Though time-worn and storm-weathered, they remind all who enter Calderra that it is under the protection of the King.

While some dismiss it as mere superstition, it can’t be denied that hullborers, harpies, and other twisted creatures shun the Pillars. Maybe there is something to the legends, after all.
