Difference between revisions of "Kasmarkin"

The lost troll capital of '''Kasmarkin''' lay sunken beneath the murky depths of the [[Mannaseh Swamp]] for centuries, until the [[Help:Occultists|Occultists]] [[Shakti]] and Silverstorm suceeded in raising it in the year 298 AF through a complex quest.

[[Emperor Rakmarkha III]], known to history as "the Mad Emperor," was the last troll to lead this empire. It was he who recieved visions of the "[[Unborn Goddess|Goddess Unborn]]" (actually [[Help:Eris|Eris]], Goddess of Chaos, traveling through time in Her meditations) on how to further his power by summoning the chaotic demon prince [[Pazuzu]] to this realm.

In modern times, the city of Kasmarkin may still be risen from the depths, but it sinks again after a time, as the magic fades. One entering the city might find the mummified guards and ghosts of the senators still lurking about, as well as the [[marsh oozes|loyalists-turned-oozes]] of Lord Taug in his Black Fortress.

On a somewhat less related note, a locked door leading downwards from the city serves as the entrance to the tomb of Overlord [[Gruul]], leader of the [[Arcanian]] mercenaries during the [[Help:Mythology|Chaos Wars]]. It was opened only briefly, and the discovery of the Prosperion Bazaar, the temple of [[Help:Prospero|Prospero]], God of Wealth, and the meeting of Prospero Himself followed shortly thereafter. The key has since been lost.
