The Shattered Citadel

Background
The Shattered Citadel is a structure within a sprawling desert on the continent of Chandar. It is the remains of an old temple sunk into the sand that time and weather have uncovered.

History
The Citadel was once the capital of the Dragon Empire, during The Great Dragon War, where it is said that many evil rituals were performed by The Warlocks. At the beginning of the story, the Citadel is very quiet and empty, as Warlocks are a rare form of magic user.

After the events of Thornoral, refugees from all over Varian flocked to the Citadel, shielded from the wrath of The Silver Eye Cult. The Unfated Ones also use this as their main base of operations, sending their allies and prisoners there for protection. It also acts as the centre of the intelligence network for Cedric’s Crows, who report all information on the movements of the Silver Eye. Aratal’s extensive knowledge of teleportation has allowed a wide-reaching portal network to be set up. This connects the Citadel to the major cities in Varian, and mean that the Heroes can move about freely and easily.

The chamber of the Netherlord is very rarely entered, most of the inhabitants of the Citadel have never seen the man himself. His chamber is larger than any other room in the citadel, and the floor is charred and warped from what looks like a large amount of magical energy. It appears as if a battle had taken place here in the past.
