Ern'echad

History
"....and so they came, a plague of fire descending upon us. What must we have done to displease the gods so? Their shrieks pierce the air like invisible arrows, but finding their marks in souls instead of flesh. Weep, Galu'manadh, and behold the culmination of your sins. Truly, absolution has been visited upon you: Your gardens have become desolation and your streets wild places. Who will save you, Galu'manadh? There is no one..." ~ Andreus Porchallus, Scribe of Galu'manadh. Source is a torn fragment that survived The Scorching.

The settlement known as Ern'echad was founded in 803 FE in the ruins of the ancient, dragon-scorched city known as Galu'manadh. The shattered remnants of an ancient city now bustle with new life and rare goods that can only be found there. It is home to all who wish to build a new life, and so is populated by a wide spectrum of races.

These inhabitants are tightly knit, connected by the bond of hardship and struggle. Ern'echad exists outside the laws of its surrounding neighbors, but their almost familial nature predominantly holds most to a strange code of behavior. This code may be periodically enforced by various rogue groups based out of the ruins.

These ties do not extend to outsiders in most cases. Those wandering unarmed through this territory may find themselves being violently robbed. It is also believed by some that the sale of rare wares to other settlements is merely a front for more devious pursuits, though it is merely speculation.

The Ruins of Ern'echad are welcome to all willing to brave the rugged lifestyle. Honest merchants and nefarious rogues live side by side in brotherhood.
