Zyanya

Once a smaller, competing village to Granahuevi, the culture of Zyanya was destroyed to ruins by their aggressors over disputes of platinum. Some former inhabitants now reside in Granahuevi, while others took their chances in the Zopilotierras.

Zyanyian Ruins
The adobe rubble serves as one of the last physical remains of the Zyanyian people.

Most of the ruins have been sifted through by both Granahuevi and Pterafolk tribes, except the former temples of the Silence Image of Vision: Qulirios, which are believed to be spiritually cursed.

The Temple of Qulirios
On the outside, this temple is visually indifferent from other adobe buildings that once populated Zyanya other than it's slight size difference. The inside of the temple is plain as well, consisting merely of a few alters and areas of prayer. There is an underground passage which leads to chambers of the temple dedicated to more extensive prayer, though dormancy has long claimed the temple as a whole.

A Secret Seraph
In the deepest chamber of the temple, a Hombosque remains indefinitely imprisoned by Granahuevian soldiers following the destruction of Zyanya. The Hombosque originally served as a divine protector of Zyanya. It's restraints consists of a circle of mirrors all turned to face each other with the beast in the center.

The hombosque has since been freed from its imprisonment, and now wanders the Zyanyian Ruins, protecting where it once called home.

History
In the early stages of settlement, Zyanya first discovered the abundant minerals found within the Golden Coast. It's people created the Ihuicatl and Queli Mines to claim the resources under the unique earth. Zyanyian lifestyle was simple and mundane until this discovery. Conflict with Granahuevi (85AP) quickly brewed with disputes regarding the mines and the resources taken from the earth. Originally claiming the minerals belonged to the earth, Granahuevi sparked a spiritual war and demolished Zyanya within weeks, only to claim the mines for themselves.
