Kyar

Kyar
The Walled City, The Gateway

Resting between the Twin Blood Mountains, Kyar is a newly constructed city created by the Kadmians near four hundred years ago. They built it upon a village once known as Souleyna, named after Alandor's wife. Souleyna was once a place visited by people traveling from all directions, whether from Alandor to Ivycrest, or Ashwick to Bel Aman'dur. During the Sundering, it fell, on the eve of one of Sylvernas' greatest snow storms. The next morning, when the Kadmians were celebrating and calling out their victory horns, the Twin Mountains, heavily laiden with fresh fallen snow, dropped their loads upon the city. The inhabitants were buried beneath several feet of snow, trapped at the whims of the winter. The original inhabitants, mostly elves and dwarves, fought ferociously to save the lives of the people inside, though they were enemies. As gratitude, they made a truce, and declared that the city shall always remain open to people of all races.

It didn't take long for that treaty to fall to betrayal. Rahar Kyar, a draconian sorcerer of great renown, sought to destroy the Kadmians, regardless of the treaty. Along with his brothers and close companions, they were able to create magical traps and openings in the stone, hidden to the sights of others. When they were discovered, Rahar said that he and his friends were fortifying the walls against even dragon attacks. The new lord was so thrilled at this, he decided to name the city Kyar.

Its massive stone walls are said to be impenatrable, even by dragons; though the theory has yet to be tested. The walls are near fifty feet high and ten feet thick at least. There are arrow splits in the

There are only two mundane ways into the city that are accessable by outsiders: the River Alandora and the Blood Road. River Alandora runs from North to South, gaining passage by either direction is clearly up to the guards of the water gates. And the Blood Road is heavily protected by guards as well, who have no qualm rifling through a traveler's belongings and lightening their loads. Running east and west, the Blood Road was once called the Path Through the Gateway.

Dalar Ito, the lord of Kyar, is a greedy man of great suspicion. Surrounded on all four sides, he is convinced that everyone is out to get him.
