Ubar

Ubar was a lost city in Oman.

History
The city was founded around 900 B.C., the same period during which the historical Queen of Sheba lived. It prospered until its collapse by a sinkhole that destroyed the city in A.D. 300. King Shadad was the first rule, the grandson of N oah. There was a reclusive clan that claim to be descendants of the same king. The hodja, the elder of the Rahim, revealed that they were administrators only. The line of [[Biliqis, were trhe true rules, a secret hidden from the most trusted.

The collapse of Ubar was explained by the continual drop of the land's water table. A natural limestone cistern lay underneath the city. As the water inside it dropped from drought and overuse, it left behind a hollow subterranean cavern that eventually collapsed in on itself, taking out half the city.

Modern Day
The city lay at the bottom of a huge cavern. The vast cavern arched 30 stories overhead, stretching a mile out. The lake filled the cavern to an unknown depth. Across the ceiling, scintillations of cobalt electricity arced in jagged displays while gaseous clouds swirled with an inner fire, edges indistinct, ghostly, ebbing and flowing. The entire cavern was a giant glass bubble buried under the sands. She even spotted a scattering of glass stalactites dripping down from the roof. Blue arcs glistened up and down their lengths, like electric spiders.

It was destroyed when Cassandra led an attack that destabilized the ruins. In its place was Eden, which was remade by the aquifers created.
