Grass-Shrouded Ziggurat

The Grass-Shrouded Ziggurat is an ancient Azlanti ruin on Thoska Isle in the Ironbound Archipelago. Though many similar Azlanti ruins are sites of renown, the Grass-Shrouded Ziggurat has remained unbreached since before Earthfall. The millennia have covered and buried the seven-tiered ziggurat and now its unnatural shape is the only thing that hints at the mound's man-made origins.

The Grass-Shrouded Ziggurat once served as the headquarters for a group of ancient Azlanti sorcerer-priests known as Those Without Faces. This mysterious order of arcane astronomers sought communication and congress with other worlds and their alien inhabitants. The winding halls and vast chambers of the ziggurat house priceless ancient artworks made of gold, platinum, and rare gems, which are guarded by brass, clay, iron, and stone golems. The greatest treasure is undoubtedly the Great Telescope of Mandakarynia. This incredible device is not only able to view any spot within Golarion's solar system but, using ancient incantations, is able to either teleport the viewer to that location, or immediately summon those it spies upon. The telescope is still guarded by Mandakarynia, a powerful Azlanti nosferatu, as well as an ancient demilich, and a flight of baykoks.
