En'iqar

En'iqar, also En'iiqaath, En'iqath or simply En'i, is a Nerubian city ruled by Horus'ahn and the Shuul Sokheni. It is one of the last few living Nerubian enclaves that had survived the Scourge war. It can be accessed through the Pit of Narjun and many more hidden passages.

The ancient city's origin dates back to the times of Old God worship, which is why its original name, En'Iiqaath, is partially in Shath'yar. Roughly translated it means old curse; whatever tomes that may have explained the inspiration and source of the name have been lost to the ages.

Structure
En'i consists of two pyramid-like towers, and its layout is largely vertical. The city is built in many levels and layers. Recent collapses in the adjacent tunnels have revealed its proximity to another abandoned Nerubian city, Sen'kilah.

The Spider ziggurat
The spider ziggurat hosts the spiderlord's chambers, as well as most of the laboratories and the catacombs underneath. It is the more residential of the two towers, many of its layers dedicated to the more common needs of the city's inhabitants, including their accommodation.

The Shadow ziggurat
The Shadow ziggurat is largely run by Vilix, the head mage and Horus'ahn's right hand. The tower is mainly dedicated to magical experiments and the maintenance of wards that keep both the Faceless and unwanted outsiders at bay. Most libraries and studies are located here. A large ash'ari crystal sits at the very top, powering the gates and defense mechanisms and serving as a magical beacons for the Shuul Sokheni sorcerer coven.

Underneath the Shadow ziggurat is the Maal'ar pit, which is home to the recently elected queen Maal'Sazhred and her handmaidens.
