Golden Blade of Gylynos

A laser cannon extending through the very core of Gylynos. It's construction is well known, but also very secretive. It was completed just one cycle ago, and took over two generations to complete. All slaves and laborers employed to work on it were rumored to have been killed once the project was finished. As a result, anyone that may have escaped, or has any knowledge does not speak of it. Publicly, the Aurumel leaders proclaim that it was gifted to them, and so even the source of funding for such an immense project is unknown.

Teryxian scholars believe it must be empowered by the light trapped in the walls of every structure in the city. Although there are theories as to the magnitude of the weapon’s power, it has never been activated, and its true purpose is unknown. There has never been a need to use. Could it strike Haark despite its distance? If the device operates along the same lines as smaller versions of its type, what could be the spiritual cost of a single pulse? Considering that the heart of their culture (and the bulk of Aurumel wealth) lives on the island of Gylynos, such a cost would be gleefully paid by the powers that be, if the Golden Blade is ever required to defend the island from assault.
