History[]

Because of bandits, Goblins and Trolls streaming down from the Northern Waste the third king of Varos demanded a fortress to be built in order to provide a first line of defense.
During the Lightwar large portions of the northern citylimits were destroyed as Kodan the Dark and his army besieged the city.
