The Weave of Conflict is the current city-relic bestowed upon Ashtan by the God of War, Aegis in the year 805AF.

Standing in an ashen field, its three massive marble pillars rise to a height of thirty feet, arranged in a simple triangular formation. At the tip of each column, several spike-like protrusions extend outwards in upward curves, transforming what might have been an elegant sculpture into something much more unnerving. A strange fabric loops from and to each barb in turn, creating a complex pattern akin to a children's game of cat's cradle or a spider's web. Completely taut, the many twists and turns create a thick mesh that could easily hold - or trap - a human. The lattice pulsates eerily with a cacophony of colours that dazzles the eye, rendering the labyrinthine meshwork all the more disorienting. .
