The Battle of Daggerveil
The Battle of Daggerveil - Era of Man
Disaster / Destruction
The history of Daggerveil starts with a very small settlement in the beginning of the Era of Man. Over the years, more and more people came to the tiny village, eventually setting up shops and such, turning a small town into a small city. People would fight to be leader of the city, eventually causing a war between neighboring parties. Eventually it settled down, and they had a decent leader, which, over the years, would be handed down and the city would grow into a booming metropolis. The city is very old and very exquisite. There was also a large invasion many years ago, this was dubbed "The Battle of Daggerveil," and was documented heavily, as it was almost the downfall of this civilization. There were dozens of Orcs with Minotaurs, an odd combination, but they decimated the town, slaughtering many people. There are no longer people who were alive when it happened, but there are rumors that the townsfolk stood their ground and fought back. It is said that an Ancient White Dragon was summoned and was able to help the townsfolk defend their home. This is all speculation of course, since nobody actually witnessed it, but it is a very strong rumor, often on tapestry's painting a picture of the battle, a white dragon is in the foreground. The Ancient White Dragon's name is known as Myveil, The White One, rumor has it that the dragon's name is how the city got the name Daggerveil. It is unsure if the name existed prior to the battle.
