Muspairhel

Tyrantshome | Elder Fortress

MUSPAIRHEL was the last battle of Rhuanon and the site of his betrayal at the hands of Segavar, his friend and sword-brother. An Elder fortress that had been retaken by an Eldsworn warlord known only as the Tyrant of Muspairhel, MUSPAIRHEL unleashed a wealth of dark Elder fiends and magics on RHUANON's army. The TYRANT was finally thrown down and the fortress was claimed to have been stripped to its foundations such that no one would ever dig amongst the Elder sins for power ever again.

MUSPAIRHEL is reputed to have been located in the forests north of the OVERLANDS or perhaps even the SOIRE HIGHLANDS. Its location was deemed too dark of a temptation to ever record.

History

An ancient Elder fortress, MUSPAIRHEL was abandoned by the fleeing ELDER forces as Rhuanon's army marched east in pursuit. With the ending of the wars and Rhuanon's return to the west, word had come of a new Tyrant of Muspairhel. An Eldsworn warlord who had slipped away from Rhuanon's army had returned in force to take the fortress and plunder its dark secrets. With such at his disposal, the TYRANT OF MUSPAIRHEL laid claim to the lands surrounding through fear and violence.

When news reached RHUANON, he gathered his forces and once again took up his vow to rid the lands of all that was ELDER. The Battle for Muspairhel is recorded in some detail as it lacked the frenzied, chaotic struggles of the war against the ELDER. Rhuanon was able to muster his forces to surround the fortress and lay siege to its dark walls. The fortress held out for many months and dark are the stories of the fell magics and foul things that burst forth from this last bastion of corruption and Elder power. In the end, the walls were breached, the TYRANT slain and MUSPAIRHEL was torn down to its foundations or so it is said. There is little to tell of its eventual fate as the death of RHUANON in the taking of the fortress overshadowed all that came after.
