In the year 301 AF, shortly after the [[Shrine Wars]] that plagued [[Sapience]], a mysterious stalagmite appeared within the mountain island where [[Sartan|Sartan, Lord of Evil]] was found trapped within. In their despair, followers of the imprisoned God began to impale themselves upon it, their sacrifice feeding the spread of a plant-killing [[red fog]]. The miasma of evil that was the fog seemed to grow with each death and soon spread off the island. Despite the efforts of [[Oakstone]], the [[Church]] and other individuals to stave off the fog, it continued to spread and even take on a life of its own. In desperation to be rid of the fog, [[Gaia|Gaia, the Earthmother]] caused a tremendous quake to try and sink the island. The effect was the opposite, however, and not only did the fog spread faster but the bonds of Sartan were finally broken and He escaped. Upon His release, He dubbed Himself Sartan the Malevolent and raised a stronghold known as [[Baelgrim Fortress]] for His faithful. The city of Mhaldor was founded with a [[Maldaathi]] Knight named Kaelin as the first Tyrannus.

In 396 AF, Lord Sartan bid Lady [[Keresis]] to split Him asunder using a mighty stalagmite. It was at this time that He split once more into the two Divine from which He was formed, Lord [[Shaitan]] and Lord [[Apollyon]]. The city is now jointly ruled by these two Divine, with the city patronage being decided during the [[Sarapin Sacrifice]].

It was at this time that He was divided into the two Divine from which He had been formed, Lord [[Shaitan]] and Lord [[Apollyon]]. Until the events of the [[Bal'met]] Saga, the city was jointly ruled by the two Divine, with the occasional help of Keresis, and city patronage was decided during the annual [[Sarapin Sacrifice]].


The city of Mhaldor is located on the [[Mhaldor Isle|island]] just off the Northern [[Vashnar_Mountains|Vashnars]], connected by a massive bridge formed from the carcass of the [[Leviathan]].

==Shopping==
==Government and Political History==
Shops are located all over Mhaldor, but the main shops are located in the market district in the lower circle of the city. Rurin’s business has not reached this island and necessities such as inks and even sigils are sold in shops owned by [[Drogo]], the travelling merchant. The quality and durability of said items, however, leave much to be desired. Mhaldor once had a jewellery store in the market district known as Vanity, once run by the seductive [[Emalaith]], it is now open for ownership by adventurers instead. Those with an interest in unique stationary might wish to track down [[Drobund]] and have a look at his wares. Because of Mhaldor’s high population of thieves, one might find rare or unique guild items within certain shops, either on display or for sale. With some luck, if one was robbed, one might actually be able to buy it back here.

#Slave
==Dining==
#Troni
Mhaldor proves itself to be a unique and challenging experience for diners providing exotic but somewhat grisly fare at the [[Worm and Grub]]. Those looking for an after-meal drink should visit the [[Gilded Corset]], the perfect place to unwind and sample hard Mhaldorian liquor.

#Dominion
==Recreation==
#Archai
At first glance, Mhaldor might not seem to be a place of much recreation, but a visit to Madame [[Lucretia]] and her girls at the [[Bathory Chalet]] changes the minds of most. For those less inclined to carnal pleasures, there is the arena. The [[Colloseum Diabolus]] is one of the more unique [[arenas]] in Sapience with segmented areas joined by a single warp. Those less physically inclined might simply wish to settle down for a round of [[gambling|roulette]] with [[Jemima]] or [[gambling|blackjack]] with [[Danzig]], or even a game of [[King's Chess|chess]] at the Incubi Archives.

Along the Avenue of Trapped Souls is an eerie looking tree, it is here that aspiring Mhaldorians kneel and swear their oath of loyalty. Don’t stand too close for the tree is blood-thirsty, and has been known to make attempts at grabbing people.

In the year 301 AF, shortly after the Shrine Wars that plagued Sapience, a mysterious stalagmite appeared within the mountain island where Sartan, Lord of Evil was trapped. In their despair, followers of the imprisoned God began to impale themselves upon the rock formation and their sacrifices fed the spread of a plant-killing red fog. The miasma of evil that was the fog seemed to grow with each death and soon spread off the island. Despite the efforts of Oakstone, the Church, and other individuals to stave off the fog, it continued to spread and even take on a life of its own. In desperation to be rid of the fog, Gaia, the Earthmother, caused a tremendous quake to try and sink the island. The effect was the opposite, however; and not only did the fog spread faster, but the bonds of Sartan were finally broken and He escaped. Upon His release, He dubbed Himself Sartan, the Malevolent, and raised a stronghold known as Baelgrim Fortress for His faithful. The city of Mhaldor was founded by a Maldaathi knight named Kaelin.

The city of Mhaldor is located on the island surrounded by blood-red waters, just off the Northern Vashnars, connected by a massive bridge formed from the carcass of the Leviathan. It is home to the Houses of the Insidium and Dread Legates. It is a city dedicated to Evil and the propagation of the Seven Truths of Evil. Its architecture is that of two overlapping circles around Baelgrim Fortress.

Landmarks

Directly past the gates of Mhaldor, the Stygian Crossroads can be found, a popular gathering point for citizens and slaves alike. Upwards from the Crossroads you can find the Baelgrim Fortress, a statue of Lord Kaelin stands in the Central Courtyard of the dread fortress, and the tunnels that hold The Heart of Caizehl lie just below. Along the Avenue of Trapped Souls is an eerie looking tree, it is here that aspiring Mhaldorians kneel and swear their oath of loyalty. Don’t stand too close for the tree is blood-thirsty, and has been known to make attempts at grabbing people. North and East of that is the Mhaldorian Cathedral, occasionally referred to as the Black Basilica. Erected in 433 AF, this monumental building stands as an antipode to the Chrysalis Basilica which once stood in Shallam. Every Sarapin, a sacrifice to the Lord of Evil is conducted within the centre of the Cathedral.

Further north at Pestilent Way stands a statue depicting the splitting of Sartan into the gods Shaitan and Apollyon. Also present is a pyramid of skulls, a gruesome collection of the heads of Mhaldor’s enemies over the years that assails the cities skyline. Touching it will reveal the exact number.

Should you enter the lower circle of the city, a trip to the markets will bring you across Gack, the slaver, as well as many shops selling a range of wares. North from the slave markets is the cruel Chamber of Eyes, host to many torturous devices including the Wheel of Agony and Pillaries.

Continuing along to the west side of the lower circle you'll find the Red Square, perhaps the most iconic of Mhaldorian landmarks, this is where Theoren, the executioner, punishes citizens who have broken Mhaldorian law or shown disrespect to their superiors.

Beware the adventurer who chooses to risk the sewers of Mhaldor. Frost daemons and other oddities crawl around the depths. You may also stumble across Bertram, the sewer worker, who could be possibly be the foulest man in Sapience.

Lastly is the city subdivision, Acheron, where a number of citizens own private residences.

Inhabitants

Other denizens visitors may encounter while exploring Mhaldor:

Facilities

All facilities in Mhaldor are located on the first level of the city, with the exception of the stable, which is located within the Holy Fortress. The Succubi Letters, Mhaldor’s post office, is located on the east side of the city along Nefarious way. It has a rather unique but cranky postal service helmed by the demoness Eimeri. Virea, a bowmistress, tends the city's archery needs from within the Baelgrim Fortress.

The Incubi Archives are located on the west side of the city along Abomination road. Here, visitors may catch up on news. Pestilent Way at the northern point of the city is where Maric, the ratman and tutor of the city, resides, as well as the local bank, called The Vault, directly south of him.

A point to note are the schools of piranha that are located all over the city in deep pools. They serve as humgiis in the city along with an actual, snarling one who sits with Maric.

Shopping

Shops are located all over Mhaldor, but the main shops are located in the market district in the lower circle of the city. Rurin’s business has not reached this island and necessities such as inks and even sigils are sold in shops owned by Drogo, the travelling merchant. The quality and durability of said items, however, leave much to be desired. Mhaldor once had a jewellery store in the market district known as Vanity, once run by the seductive Emalaith, it is now open for ownership by adventurers instead. Those with an interest in unique stationery might wish to track down Eimeri and have a look at her wares. Because of Mhaldor’s high population of thieves, one might find rare or unique guild items within certain shops, either on display or for sale. With some luck, if one was robbed, one might actually be able to buy it back here.

Dining and Recreation

Mhaldor proves itself to be a unique and challenging experience for diners providing exotic but somewhat grisly fare in the taproom of the Worm and Grub. Those looking for a more exquisite restaurant experience should visit the tavern's lowest floor, where the Baelgrim Bistro offers a more refined dining experience to the paying adventurer, and Den of Iniquity offers inebriating refreshments.

For those less food-inclined, there is the arena. The Colloseum Diabolus is one of the more unique arenas in Sapience with segmented areas joined by a single warp. Those less physically inclined might simply wish to settle down for a round of roulette with Ardak or blackjack with Lugbrad, or even a game of chess or darts while enjoying drinks in the common room of the Worm and Grub.

Mhaldorian Families

The families of Mhaldor are steeped in history. Mhaldorian-specific bloodlines and family houses have existed almost since the founding of the city itself.

Mhaldorian family names describe an aspect of the living culture that has breathed life into the city's streets.
