Garlghast Island
Most people on the mainland do not know it, but the Orgoth
Occupation did not end when the invaders were driven from
the shores of western Immoren. Their blackships fell back
to the fortress-city of Drer Drakkerung, a base they had
established on Garlghast Island, the largest of the Scharde
Islands around Cryx. This dread fortification became the site of their last stand in western Immoren when Toruk sent
his armies against them in a siege that lasted for months.
Cryx’s forces eventually prevailed, but the terrible sorceries
unleashed in that battle rent the land and left scars that
remain to this day. The Orgoth were ultimately destroyed,
and their great city was ransacked for secrets that could be
used by the forces of the Dragonfather.
As a consequence of this battle, Cryx learned the secrets of constructing the Orgoth blackships, as well as other strange artifacts that the Nightmare Empire has wielded against its many enemies ever since. Furthermore, in the aftermath of the Orgoth’s defeat, many of the warwitches swore allegiance to the Dragonfather or else had their secrets stolen in death through necromancy. But not even the Dragonfather’s forces were able to strip everything from this blighted city, and countless strange and mysterious horrors are still waiting to be uncovered beneath the ruined streets of Drer Drakkerung.
