Location The Testing Grounds

[Mirage]

The Testing Grounds Sahova is a place for magical research and development, where great breakthroughs can be made in the various fields of magic that exist in Mizahar. Within the walls of the Citadel the Sahovan Wizards work tirelessly to unlock the many secrets of magic, and when a new discovery is made it must be tested. Thus the Testing Grounds were born, a place where the great advances in magic can be put to the test without fear of causing unwanted destruction elsewhere on the island. Though widely used, the Testing Grounds still hold many secrets even from the greatest Wizards of Sahova. For centuries studies have been done on the local plant life and creatures which inhabit this harsh environment. Strange and deformed beasts and failed experiments roam freely, great wonders of nature can be found in many places, and more than anything mysteries surrounded every nook and cranny of the grounds. The Testing Grounds are separated into four distinct regions, each of which holds its own wonders and dangers. The Prairie- A large open space where many experiments take place The Bloodhills- The most dangerous and well guarded of the testing areas The Mudpools- A collection of three mudpots with their own distinct properties The Heartlands- The center of the greatest terrors and mysteries of the island The Dendrik Ravine- A Ravine which serves as the entrance to the Heartlands for those who cannot pass The Glannoch. The Glannoch- A haunted forest of hidden knowledge Forest of Thorns- The only hunting ground for small prey The caretaker of the testing grounds is known as Grounds Keeper Chabizas, and he and those under him work tirelessly to keep the Testing Grounds in order and ensure that all experiments and studies are well supervised and relatively safe.
