Metris
Metris' history is one stained in Darkness. Established in the Swamp of the Leech near the beginning of the Age of Law, the city was led by its Crownsguard Edmond Marigard.
Edmond Marigard made the city work for the Crown despite its unfortunate circumstances. The Swamp is infamously resource poor, harsh, and full of the monsters the Crown kept out of all the more, now civilized places, but he found wealth in another way, plundering the Horde of Rash'irkul the Leech who was banished to the shadows of the region.
Edmond opted to be the protector of the town. after leading the city for centuries, he decided lordship was not for him, and gave day to day operation to his son Lord Harken Marigard and his wife. After his affair with Lady Sariel The Witch Queen, which led to her death and entombment, his father Edmond vanished, leaving him to lead the people here. It wasn't a decade later when Lady Marigard passed away.
Metris began falling on hard times. The people were hungry, poor, and increasingly unruly. This is when The Witch Queen was freed from her tomb by grave robbers, using her horrid powers to take Lord Marigard as her husband and take control of his kingdom. She has ruled since, through the sickness Lord Marigard caused by her poisoning of him, and his eventual death.
Now Metris is a necropolis for Lady Sariel's undead army, holding a small population of human survivors who are unable to escape, attempting ro rebel and take their city back.
