History
Malabog's Castle stands as a testament to the Fomorian king's power and ambition, originally constructed by scores of cyclopes enslaved under his command. The fortress grew to become not just a stronghold, but the heart of Malabog's realm within the Feywild.
The castle gained particular significance when it served as the staging ground for Malabog's ambitious assault on Realm of Sharandar. During this period, the fortress became a nexus of dark power as Malabog's agents worked to open passages between realms, corrupting the natural beings they encountered.
After battle with Sharandar Elves, Malabog's army took Laira, magically transformed beign that could connect and manipulate nature around her. She was taken as "queen" for King Malabog and helped him to reign his realm with power over nature.
