Tostarenan Tourism
Tostarena is a small town that serves as the hub for tourists planning to visit the Inverted Pyramid. The colorful buildings and cheerful people provide a warm welcome for visitors. They’re happy to provide direction, so don’t hesitate to say hello.
Mysterious Ancient Ruins
Head north from town and you are greeted by ancient ruins that dot the expansive desert. Though many have become conflict regions patrolled by Bullet Bills, their status as important heritage sites is undeniable.
Your eye is drawn to the large stone tower at the heart of the ruins. Due to extensive hollowing underground, quicksand has become prevalent in this area, so watch out.
Three Keys to the Kingdom
- Enjoy the small but lively desert village and its charming inhabitants.
- Wonder at the Inverted Pyramid and its upside-down magic.
- Watch for the gem iconography carved in relief on the ruins.
Inverted Pyramid
The true “can’t miss” of this region, the Inverted Pyramid may look unstable, but rest assured it never topples and has thrilled tourists for years. It is said that the legendary artifact called the Binding Band lies within, and the upside-down pyramid symbolizes how those joined by it will never part, even if the world turns upside down.
Jaxi
Just hop on the back of a curious local transport method known as the Jaxi, and as you might guess from their appearance you’ll be in for a wild but completely reliable ride.
Make good use of them and you’ll be exploring this unforgiving desert in comfort and style.
Living Heart of the Desert
Here’s a spot to moisten your dried and withered heart, with greenery and water to make you forget you’re in the desert. The fish and birds are plentiful and well worth a visit.
