The drowned city of Tira Gnok lies in ruins, fallen from grace, it’s inhabitants clinging to survival
The city of Tira Gnok once stood as a powerful and prosperous trading hub, ruling the surrounding lands through a network of vassals and mercantile contracts.
That all changed when the water’s rose and the city was swallowed by the waters that had once protected and supported it. The population was all but wiped out, the king killed, and the city’s great architecture left crumbling.
For many cities, such a catastrophe would be the end, but not so for Tira Gnok. For there were those that survived the disaster and, embracing dark powers, held themselves and their city together. Chief among those, Elanor Fordreth, daughter of the later king. Under her command, the dead of the city, washed away by the waters, rose again to defend and rebuild what remained. Now the citizens of Tira Gnok cling to existence within the ruin of their former home, fending of those who would seek to take advantage of their plight, and seeking opportunities to one day rebuild what was lost.

With roars of primal rage the orruks launched themselves at the undead defenders, crude choppas hewing apart joints and splintering bone. Scores of them lay dead already, their blood running down the ruined stones to turn the water around their beached ships red....
“Traitorous rat!”The inkwell smashed against the wall of the cabin as Elanor vented her rage upon the contents of her desk. Letting out a wordless cry of rage she slammed a fist onto the tabletop, the wood splintering slightly beneath the blow. Though her heart no...
“Lady Elanor told us to be subtle,” said Knight Lord Dariun disapprovingly.“We are, no one will know a thing,” Maemori said, smiling sweetly as she dropped the limp body of the dockhand to the floor.He landed with a thud on the dirt of the alley floor, his vacant...
