In the year 301 AF, shortly after the [[Shrine Wars]] that plagued [[Sapience]], a mysterious stalagmite appeared within the mountain [[:Category:Islands|island]] where [[Sartan|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|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]] [[knights|knight]] named Kaelin. | In the year 301 AF, shortly after the [[Shrine Wars]] that plagued [[Sapience]], a mysterious stalagmite appeared within the mountain [[:Category:Islands|island]] where [[Sartan|Sartan, Lord of Evil]] was trapped.

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]]. | ||

Sartan’s public temple is located on the lower level of the city. Every Sarapin, a sacrifice to the Lords of Oppression and Suffering is conducted in the highest chamber. Hidden in this temple is a secret room where a mysterious book will read selected sections of Mhaldorian history to those who hold it. Near the public temple to Lord Sartan resides the Red Square. This is where [[Theoren]], the executioner, punishes citizens who have broken Mhaldorian law or shown disrespect to their superiors. | Sartan’s public temple is located on the lower level of the city.
