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]].

Along the Avenue of Trapped Souls is an eerie looking tree. It is at this tree 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.
