Gustireth

Gustireth was a large elven civilisation in the eastern mountain ranges of Winval. It was one of the first cities to form after The Split of Olkvast and stood for many years, surviving through countless Orc and Gnoll raids through out the centuries it stood for.
It finally fell into ruin in the year 2849 when the paladins of Torm were lead to Gustireth by their deity as, according to their general, it was the will of Torm and their destiny to battle in the streets of this city should they ever hope to halt the conquest of the demon lord Bane. Sure enough, a day or so after the paladins had established themselves a swarm of faceless knights dressed in jet black armour were seen riding over the hills waving the banner of Bane. 
The two forces clashed in a bloody skirmish around the centre of the town, destroying all that stood between them as both sides relentlessly fought to eradicate their foes. When the battle had concluded all that remained were the remnants of Bane's army, and the rubble which was once a city. Legend says the elder god Worthe then appeared to them, wiping out all survivors and reclaiming the rubble for nature as vines and moss began growing from the broken cobbles.
