Malshashar is one of the hidden monastic fortresses that guard Adar. [1] [2]
Geography
Malshashar's true location is a closely guarded secret, especially as it is one of the fortresses guarding Adar's border with Riedra , but it is located in northern Adar deep in the eastern parts of the Ahnadiv Mountains . The area around the monastery are prone to storms and landslides. [1]
The core sections of the monastery are underground beneath a single mountain peak, but a few sections sprawl out under neighboring mountains. Due ot the secrecy and the harsh environment, even the food is grown underground. [1]
Trade
The monastery has psionic portals in its deepest caverns that connect to the dromite hive of Zi'til'natek , enabling trade. [1]
History
Originally, Malshashar monastery was a monastery in the foothills of the Ahnadiv mountains, closer to the border between Adar and Riedra. However, in 702 Age of Taratai (-100 YK) the original monastery was destroyed by a Riedran army. [3] It was later rebuilt higher up in the mountains. [1]
