Drowned Kingdom

In Ur the party went to the Temple of Uakht, which was nothing more than the top of a temple in a strange bubble under a permanent tempest in the sea. It is a giant golden point (top of a pyramid) which is the only exposed piece of an entire kingdom buried by the gods.

The bubble was filled with a strange dusty old attic-smelling still air. The party found light shafts that run down into the upper levels of the temple, where they will found a couple of old dried and decayed corpses in ornate robes which crumbled when touched. Near the corpses were hammers, chisels and various hieroglyph making instruments.

There were heiroglyphs describing the army of the great kingdom of Aquilonia ruled by Thaparthal, the king of iron.

Thaparthal and his army, favored by Set, were arrogant and used their magics and sciences to build a floating kingdom in order to cross the sea and conquer far lands.  The gods were angered by Thaparthal's arrogance and sunk the kingdom on it's maiden voyage. 

In these ruins Academis summoned forth ghosts to seek knowledge of how this drowned kingdom could help Ur. They learned of the Baseka Soldiere.
