Sunken Queen
The Sunken Queen, once known as the Shining Queen,1 is a partially submerged Thassilonian pyramid built over 10,000 years ago by the Runelord Sorshen2 in what was then the nation of Eurythnia.1 It is located in southern Varisia in an enormous swampland known as the Mushfens, approximately 160 miles west of the city of Korvosa.34
Appearance
Each side of the four-sided pyramid is embossed with a bas-relief sculpture of the naked Runelord Sorshen,56 and one side of the structure has sunk so far into the surrounding marsh that the pyramid now rests at a severe angle. Strange, curving towers rise above the pyramid's peak and resemble organic growths of chimneys.7 Legend tells of multiple layers of dangerous catacombs contained within the pyramid holding secrets of ancient Thassilon.8
