The Font of the Axis is an Atarlie shrine built around a pre-mortal artifact of the same name, found in the city of Heroka. Architecturally, the area is quite simple, being a stone forum which surrounds an ancient, ring-shaped gateway of Basalt. The construction of the ring is lost to time, though it is believed by the scholars of the city that the same culture was responsible for founding prehistoric Baghar.

The Font of the Axis is one of what is likely to be many such sites on Ahren where the barrier between the material and Astral Plane is thinned. Priests to Camus Inakas, who maintain the shrine, routinely undertake rituals to activate the ring gate and link it to locations in the Astral Plane or even, if conditions are favourable, to other planes in the great wheel of Wisterian Cosmology.
