Djerad Thymar

Djerad Thymar (The Fortress of Thymara, in draconic) was the capital city of Tymanther.

History
Djerad Thymar was constructed as one the most important of the djeradi (clanholds, in draconic) of the Abeiran nation of Tymanchebar, nearly two centuries before the Spellplague, thought at the time it was called by another name. It was specially built to hold off attacks of dragons, and eventually it became the capital clanhold of Tymanchebar After the Spellplague transported Tymanchebar to Faerûn, all but two of the djeradi were left mostly functional, Djerad Thymar and Djerad Kethendi.

The ruins of Djerad Thymar fell on top of the tomb of a bearded warrior. The goddess Selûne guided one of the surviving dragonborn, Thymara, to the ruins and gave her the warrior's weapon, The Black Axe of the Moon’s Champion to help her to find other surviving dragonborn. The survivors, guided by Thymara, reunited in the ruined djeradi and reconstructed it, calling it Djerad Thymar, The Fortress of Thymara, in honor to their saviour. The dragonborn then founded the realm of Tymanther with Djerad Thymar as their capital city.

Structure
The city was unique in its design as the entire city was one giant hollow pyramid. The pyramid rested on a granite foundation supported by a huge number of columns. The top of the pyramid reached 1,500 feet (460 meters) into the sky.

Interior
Inside the pyramid there were balconies leading to individual dwellings. The interior of the pyramid was lit by magical lights.
