Landmarks in Ruins of Shadowmark
Wrecked Gazebo
A Sentinel watchtower and a dock for striders on their way to and from Freemark. When Vassa built Anshar, he erected four gazebos around the perimeter to serve as watchtowers, but the residents of Shadowmark used them for everything from civic offices to the Chronicler's Volary. As with any high-standing structure, Sentinels would always be present.
Sunken Gardens
The distinct style of the caverns point to the fact that urgoth were not the only Anzu capable of building and design. The caverns differ from Shaper ruins, and even have, dare I say, an appreciation for aesthetics. What was this being that created such beauty? Was it just one? Or perhaps many? Perhaps they were not so different from us. Though urgoth were indeed Anzu, not all Anzu were urgoth.
- From Dialogues by Mederines
Shadow Lock

Lore for Ruins of Shadowmark
The Tracks of Midderon
When he was a boy, General Tarsis' page boy Midderon was well known for being a fast runner, even without a javelin. It was said that he could run from the base of the ravine to the Colossi and then to Anshar in record time. Before the Scar incursion, running the Tracks of Midderon was a popular event in neighboring Shadowmark as part of their yearly festival, and in individual fitness regimes.
Helena's Walk
This structure is built where General Tarsis' ghost was apparently spotted wandering, years after her death. Pilgrims from all over Bastion came to the temple to meditate and pray for Tarsis to return. Of course, popularity of this site grew again after it was the setting for Eritono's dramatic masterpiece "Raxion," but it has not been visited since titans from the Heart of Rage breached the Shadow Lock.
Strider Alley
The main strider path connecting Shadowmark to the Shadow Lock. During the Honor Valley boom, trade striders would experience gridlock as they waited to load and unload their supplies. To ease the boredom of the drivers and passengers, musicians would often perform, making Strider Alley a hotbed of local entertainment.
Shadowmark
My mentor has decided that we should settle ourselves on the ruins of Anshar. When the other scholars and I objected to rebuilding our new academy where so many had died, my mentor revealed that the city itself was built on Anzu ruins that required study. Then he said that "we should not forget the dead or the events at Anshar, though they fill our hearts with dread. And so we will call it Shadowmark."
-Arcanist diary
Crescent Lake
Ancient Anzu Arcanists think that this lake was home to some sort of creature. The lake's underwater passages lead into the cenote in Anshar, so it could be possible that this creature had something to do with whatever happened there. If it was, in fact, an Anzu of some sort, this would be the basis for many of the stories from the area. Maybe the Fen Watcher, the Ezurite Anzu, and the mysterious shadow that came to Anshar are one and the same.
- From Ancient Anzu, radio show
North Rock
Once you've enjoyed the intricate structures of Anshar, head out of Shadowmark to this delightful picnic spot. Nothing goes better with a saltberry sandwich and a cup of tea than the vista from North Rock. This secure location is where Shadowmark holds their annual summer festival. While not as large as Freemark's tournament, it's still a delightful place to watch lancers battle it out for the big prize in the spirit of sportsmanship.
-From a Quest Advisor pamphlet
The Dawn Gates
Though the number of ancient javelin ruins revealed by our team does indicate that this was a major point of conflict centuries ago, is it actually the "Dawn Gates" of legend, where the urgoth were defeated and General Tarsis gave her life? Garred refers to the final battle being in a closed area with great cliffs, and if the urgoth were descending from the north, this would be a plausible location.
