Landmark : Obelisks of L'Anse-en-Sang

Location : Outremer, Almer

There are 4 obelisks around l'Anse-en-Sang, each on a tiny, uninhabited island.

Dent Rouge, west of Phlébotomine (red tooth)
Écharde, east of La Grande Macchabée (splinter)
La Griffe, east of Curieuse (the claw)
Carmaiguille, north of Rouge Sablon (carmine needle)


The size of these monuments dwarf most others in the world, towering above the scarce surrounding nature. Early Danaki accounts mention that the Obelisks were already ancient when their people were young.

No one knows who built them or if they simply sprouted out of the earth. The blood red rock is oily to the touch and not found anywhere else in the world. The seawater surrounding each Obelisk turns red and thick like blood, but presents no real difference when tested.

All four Obelisks have been monitored numerous times for eldritch radiation and nothing was ever found. As such, the scientific community hesitates to classify them as Anomalies.

Not much is known about Outremer in general due to scant access by outsiders. Theories abound regarding the purpose of the Obelisks, from alien beacons to remnants of a god, no one truly knows what they might be.
