According to legend, the city was founded by the great and powerful Zorvath, a sorcerer who wielded the mighty Crystal of the Ancients. Little is known of his life, but it's said he created the city as a testament to his greatness.
A great and terrible calamity befell the city, known as "The Great Devouring," where the city's inhabitants were consumed by some sort of dark and malevolent force. Only a few scattered remnants of the old world remain.
Some say the city was destroyed by the wrath of the gods themselves.
