==The Spring's Villa==

Where the ancient holy spring emerges from the ground, the Empire built a holy villa. And around the holy villa the required support structures, a full temple plaza sprawling across the landscape. It is cracked and ruined now. The work to maintain the space beyond the spring site proper not put in. Damage from conflict unrepaired. Elements striking until stone became dust. Now, there is a village that mixes the intact imperial buildings, what new structures could be erected, and ruins that just need a bit of patching to be of use. When crowds come for sacred rites at the spring, the plaza fills up with people waiting for their chance to enter the sacred space proper.

Beyond the plaza itself is mostly the remnants of roads and huts, with the buildings starting to thin out and give way to agriculture—particularly on the way to the Rain Fields.
