Mystok

MYSTOK


Known as "The fort" Mystok was once a fortified stronghold for the armies of the traitorous Irontounge Blackhorn, a ruthless military leader during the early days of the Imperial Kingdom, a rebel to the idea of unification under one lord. He lead military campaigns all over the realms, terrorizing, raping, and pillaging. He finally fell to General Gaffyyni, the elven commander of the Shadovale Realmgard. After the fall of this fortification, the slaves Blackhorn held were free'd and allowed to have the run of the place. For generations, long after the fortifications and walls were torn down, this tiny village flourished and became an important lucrative settlement to the Throne because of it's significant magic using population. It has become, over the years, a small center of arcane scholar and mystic study.
