# Tirros
Carved in the living rock of the mountains, the subterranean wonder of Tirros is a metropolis in the heart of the Peaks of Light. Although its origin is unknown, it is assumed that the first Hadaki started chiseling their way into the mountains roughly five-thousand years ago.
Once passed through the Gate of Triads, a complexity of hundreds of caverns and chambers open up in splendor, with a myriad of spiraling marble staircases and century-old corridors curving deep down towards the great Hadakian halls, underground courtyards and mines. Tirros is absolutely an example of a splendid symbiosis of craftsmanship and natural realism in its core, exemplified by the immense upward and downward levels of the city seem to sustain each other as were part of one organism. The greatest example of this is found in the Centenarian Aula, an enormous hall where a mystical cylinder-shaped glass construction called the Cataract generates enormous amounts of power, fueling the city with energy used for climate control, irrigation, and, most importantly - charging the immense mining machines.
After fiercely resisting Duxa attempts to take control of the city, the inevitable happened. In the aftermath of the annexation of Tirros, many managed to flee into the depths of the mountains. However, for many a man, woman and child, life under Imperial rule became the new reality. With the Order disbanded and the Guard of Tirros scattered, the hope-soaked tales of ancestral glory are all that echoes through the catacombs.
