The First Temple of Dieu Soleil

Believed to have been built at some point during the period known as "Ferreiro's Conquests", this massive cathedral was the first temple ever built in dedication to Dieu Soleil. Built on a rocky outcropping atop a wide waterfall the building grew over time to take up the entire outcropping, counting the courtyard in the front. As it grew in height simple rope bridges were replaced by massive stone causeways to connect the temple to the surrounding lands, spanning across the falls. The size of the structure, the countless windows to allow as much of Dieu Soleil's light to enter the structure, and its importance to the Olometist faith is why it was among the first to be recognized as Wonders of the World.

The Royal Academy

Completed in 152 NE, the Royal Academy was built with a priority of knowledge over warfare. The institution has seen countless generations of Olometists, mostly from Chantour but other nations as well. The Royal Academy today holds the largest known collection of knowledge on all topics; though law, economy, history, philosophy, astronomy, oration, and physics make up the subject matter of the majority of the texts stored there. Primarily originals of various written works, when the original isn't available copies of the originals take their place. Every known written work in all the Olomemist nations can be found at the Royal Academy, along with copies of all known written works from other nations as well. There is no greater dream for an intellectual than to attend the Royal Academy of Chantour. Its size, collection of written works, and tall gleaming white walls marks it as one of the first recognized Wonders of the World.

The Magnificent Palais

Located in the lands of the Sultanate of Charkhi Dadri, the Magnificent Palais is the seat of House of Sarbadhikari and by extension the nation itself. A sprawling landscape, the Magnificent Palace combines a royal garden, courtyards, a palace, and a menagerie into a single complex. The central palace itself is a large structure topped with multiple onion domes, the largest of which centered over the throne room. Cobbled walkways, greenery, flowers, fountains, canals, stairs, and bridges are found everywhere. The size of the complex, how colorful it is, and also how the line between nature and the artificial seems to be blurred is why this was the first to be recognized as a Wonder of the World that exists outside the borders of the Olometist Nations.

The Desiree Line

Originally built during the 385 NE, the Desiree Line was so named in 400 NE by the people of Nassau, Lichtenau, and Geisenheim who had taken over permanent command over the fortifications. Originally a collection of border fortresses along the borders of Nassau and Lichtenau to resist invasions by Sharya, as time passed structures were added as needed, and later still a series of walls were built to connect the various structures into a single continuous defensive line. The total area covered by the finished Desiree Line, and its importance to the history of the Olometist nations is why it is recognized as one of the Wonders of the World.

Muntele Zeilor (The Mountain of the Gods)

Located in Isaccea, Muntele Zeilor is a tall mountain that stands alone on the landscape. The top of the mountain is permanently obscured by what the locals call the "Nine Sheets of Clouds", said to be the nine levels of the mountain in which their gods reside. The mountain is recognized as a natural Wonder of the World due to its uncertain size, the fact is stands alone in the area free of other mountains or mountain ranges, and also in part due to its cultural significance in the religion of Isaccea.

Spyashchiye Bogi (The Sleeping Gods)

Located to the northeast of Sharya, this large frozen landscape never thaws. The Sharya believe that the Great War of the Gods took place here, and that after the battle the gods lay down to rest. The ice formed over them to protect them and it is believed that one day the ice will thaw and the gods will awake when the faith of the people has left the world and the gods will destroy the world as punishment. The Sharya also believe it is from here that all cold air is carried by the winds to the rest of the world. To date no outsider has ever seen this place due to how far it is from the rest of the known world and the people of Sharya seem to be the only ones who can tolerate the cold in the areas surrounding it. The unique landscape and the fact it never thaws is what makes this area recognized as a natural Wonder of the World.




Bocca del Malavita

Bocca del Malavita (Mouth of the Underworld)

Located just off the coast of the tip of the southern peninsula of San Severo, the Bocca del Malavita is believed by the locals to be a set of falls beneath the surface of the water which flows directly into Mondiale del Morto, or World of the Dead. San Severo tradition dictates that the body of revered figures or heroes be placed on a small boat and is then pushed out towards the Bocca del Malavita. The underwater falls then pulls the boat down with the body on board, and pulls it directly into the underworld. While the souls of others might travel to the underworld in their own way. Those deserving of high respect are given this treatment so they can travel there body and soul, and so are given a higher position in the afterlife.
