DESCRIPTION
A towering Ziggurat taller than all the other buildings of Ssh'Rik containing the Sun Diamond, an ancient weapon emitting daylight equivalent light that can be seen far away. Historically, this Ziggurat has been the home of the Royalty of the Red Lizard Kings
SUN DIAMOND
A series of brass tripods, lenses, and crystal orbs that move with the sun, capturing its energy. It continually produces an effect identical to that of the daylight spell, except that it extends to a 10,000-foot radius.
A user who makes a successful Knowledge (arcana) check (DC 15) can gaze through a lens and clearly see objects up to 15 miles away.
In addition, such a user can command the Sun Diamond to release a ray of sunlight as intense as that of a double strength Sunbeam. The ray lasts for 13 rounds and can be targeted on any single Large or larger object within 15 miles that the user specifies, so long as it is visible through the viewing lens at the time. Any unattended object targeted by the beam bursts into flame after 3 rounds of uninterrupted exposure; an attended object (such as an inhabited house) is entitled to a Reflex save at the same bonus as its attendant. In the case of multiple attendants (such as two or more inhabitants of a house), use the highest Reflex save bonus. After 13 rounds, the Sun Diamond requires 5 rounds to cool off before being used again.
The abilities of the Sun Diamond cease to function 1 hour after losing exposure to Sunlight.
