Su Nuraxi
Su Nuraxi is the largest Nuraghe on all of Sardina. It’s rightfully simply called “The Nuraghe" in Campidanese. The suspected once fortress is made up of large basalt boulders, skillfully constructed by unknown masons. It lies west of Verdi and north-east of the larger town Sanluri. It has a Magical Aura of 4.
The massive Nuraghe is centred around a nearly 20 paces high conical tower, mastio, filled with circular rooms and vaults. It's clear that it was even higher originally, though passage of time has worn it down. Four smaller towers connect to it, each pointed in the cardinal directions. Surrounding this massive proto-castle lies dotted many circular ruined huts. A series of walls and more towers also protected these homes. Su Nuraxi was clearly not just a fortification, but a whole village. Perhaps the Nuragic civilization’s own Rome.
Like many other Nuragiclic sites there is also a subterranean holy well on the site. In a half moon shaped courtyard outside the main fortress. The water has since dried up, or perhaps deliberately filled with rock and soil. Once Verdi harvest vis from this well, yet since the Schism it hasn't produced any. Verdi has since long stopped checking annually,
Another important structure is the dubbed “Council Hall”. It is a large circular building provided with a circular stone bench arranged around the inner perimeter and five niches on the wall, where effigies or icons once must have stood. Other religious and magical rituals are suspected to have taken place here. The site aura is tethered to this hut. The site lacks any signs of the otherwise common burials and tombs of the Nuragic.
Story Seed: A Proto-Covenant?
Perhaps by investigating other graves, or verdi’s library, the PC or other magi get their hands on evidence that Su Nuraxi was once a form of proto-covenant. A castle ruled by five magicians. Intrigued by this they wish to investigate further. It turns out the purpose of Su Nuraxi and many other nuraghe were to protect against a race of giants who roamed throughout Sardina. Were these the cyclopes who also inhabited Sicily, or the biblical Nephilims? Is it actually the giants who are buried in the large tombs scattered through Sardina?
