Ephia's Well is a bastion of the Sultan's own glory in the sands. Great spires of security surround the Well; one wall, and then another, and then another. The Sultan has moved even his own seat here, which now resides atop the Pyramid in a dazzling array of purple and green. White Spear in hand, he reigns wisely and justly from his throne. A sprawling empire expands outwards from this place, the reclamation and salvation of a world on the brink of death. Elaborate irrigation projects deliver water to countless bountiful gardens. The poor, the sick and the weak are cared for and protected in holy, immaculate mosques devoted to B'aara. Water flows. | Ephia's Well is a bastion of the Sultan's own glory in the sands.
