The Neutral Zone was an ancient miracle carved into the heart of the continent.
Standing between the borders of Solaris, Zephyros, and Sylphyros, the Great Dam was a breathtaking structure. It was a skewering, curved wall of pale white stone that stretched for nearly a mile across a deep canyon. Behind the massive stone wall sat the Great Reservoir. The water here was not normal. It was a glowing blue, saturated with pure mana.
The dam acted as a mechanical heart. It filtered the concentrated magical water and pushed it through underground rivers, supplying the natural magic that every single mage on the continent relied on.
Standing on the top of the wide stone wall, Velanor Banner looked down at the drop.
The wind up here was fierce, pulling at his brown tunic. He was exhausted. He had ridden a wind horse for two straight days from the high mountains, only stopping to let the beast drink.
