History
One of , Réskehold has a rich history and has changed hands many times. First, as the capital of Réskehold during the fall of the empire, then later conquered by Wariés. Although it was once a Dwarvish Hold, it has lost all its defenses by today, and is now only a hold in name.
The town of explorers past, Réskehold stood for many years as a town divided into two parts. The wealthy, modern New Town, and the abandoned, sprawling ruins of the Old Town. Following Marra's takeover of the settlement the Triumvirate of Marra worked many years on fixing the cultural divide of the settlement - which they successfully did.
However not shortly after, in an unrelated matter, the Disciples of the Collective took the settlement over alongside the rest of the nation. A period of darkness followed until it disappeared.
