Ss'thar'tiss'ssun, the City of Fountains, is the buried ruin of a city of the ancient sarrukh that later became the capital of the serpent kingdom of Najara.
Broken fountains and coiling carvings lie half-buried in the earth, and villagers nearby refuse to dig cellars for fear of breaking into the city below.

Overview
The city was founded tens of thousands of years ago by the sarrukh, an ancient serpent race, as a temple-city, and abandoned when their god seemed to die. Much later, yuan-ti nobles were brought here by magic and it became the heart of Najara, a serpentfolk kingdom.
Najara fell with the city in 90 DR. Its ruins stretch at least as far as the western edge of the Forest of Wyrms, and tunnels still connect them to other serpent sites. On our map the ruin lies south of the Serpent Hills, with a road to Scornubel.
