Grand Barony of Altair (ruined)

Originally the High King forced the creation and maintenance of this as a means of moving supplies and soldiers into the Hinterland soft the north from the north heartlands after the Lich Lords took control of most of Dundaria. The pride of the region was the massive Altair Castle guarding the passage into the pass. It rose to a population of 50,000. It was repeatedly attacked by minions of the Lich Lords to prevent the movement of troops. Since CY 6909 the castle lies in ruins, brought down by the legendary blade of Stone Cutter. The hero wielding it was able to tear asunder the walls of Altair and rescue his bride from the evil clutches of Wehtsaq, called King of Ghouls. He had turned a large portion of the populace into ghouls that were ravaging the lands in every direction.

The Kalurians come out of North Pines and sweep across the land, killing all humanoids and undead and the ghoul infection is ended.
