  Long ago, an order of Heliomancers who called themselves the Sun Sages raised great stepped pyramids of sandstone. They named them ziggurats.<~><~>  You will not find them in any green and pleasant country. The Sun Sages built in the dry and the barren, half swallowed by desert sand or sunk into badland clay, where the heat keeps honest folk far away. They are uncommon, so a long road may pass before a stepped shape rises above the flat land.
