The Mournland

From DeadGoblins

The Mournland is what remains of Cyre, one of the Five Nations of Galifar, located in central Khorvaire. It is now a mad wasteland where few dare to tread.

History

On 20 Ollarune, 994 YK, beautiful Cyre, the Purple Jewel in Galifar’s Crown, disappeared in a massive blast of arcane horror. No one now living knows the cause of this explosion. It might have been a weapon, Cyran or otherwise. It could have been a punishment from the gods or the doing of dragons. Perhaps something malevolent and ancient stirred in Khyber below Cyre, its rest disturbed by the never-ending conflict on the nation’s fronts. Whispers raise the dark possibility that the warforged messiah, the Lord of Blades, caused the Mourning and plans to repeat it in the remaining nations. Whatever the truth, all that is left of wondrous Cyre is the Mournland. The 20th day of Ollarune is now known across Khorvaire as the Day of Mourning.

Nature

The dome of dead-gray mist that covers the Mournland causes disorientation, fatigue, and apathy. A traveler in this mist can easily become lost, despite the mist’s slightly luminous quality that bathes the Mournland in eternal twilight. The mist is not omnipresent; it forms a border area varying in width from a few hundred feet to as much as five miles.
