Damoutarvilly
Ervenian Era, 1051 AB
Damoutarvilly was a fortress town positioned in Northern Keatis.
Government
For most of its history, Damoutarvilly was ruled by a lord but in 900 AB, after years of political disputes between the noble houses, Damoutarvilly began to be ruled by a council of leaders. Having been controlled by Banites for much of its history, the city's culture and politics are easily influenced by the will of the Banites.
History
During 172 BB the Elves of Amon-Thal destroyed the last remaining temple of Etarr.
Etarr went into hiding deep under the ruins of its temple. Centuries later the town of Damoutarvilly would be unknowingly built on the site of the temple ruins.
In 822 AB Keatis granted Damoutarvilly independence. Despite this official status little changed and Damoutarvilly was still heavily influenced by the will of Keatis. Just a few months later in 823 AB Damoutarvilly was among the cities which worked together to rebuild the fortresses around it.
This joint effort helped protect nearby cities from ogre attacks. Throughout 850 AB the nobles of Damoutarvilly quarreled over lordship of the town. Nokli (the last surviving noble of her house) went on a murderous revenge spree after her father was killed in a supposed accident. In 867 AB the noble houses agreed to abolish lordship of the town and instead began ruling by a council. Around 890 AB, Damoutarvilly was utterly destroyed by a Flight of Dragons. The city was left as a ruin of scorched rubble. The city was rebuilt by Banites. In 919 AB the dormant deity, Etarr was woken by Alias. The deity was thought to be long-dead but had in fact been sleeping deep below Damoutarvilly. In 920 AB Damoutarvilly was still stuck in the middle of the war between Orcs and Keatis.
As of 938 AB Damoutarvilly was a ruin and by 970 AB the town was still occupied by Banites.

Geography
Damoutarvilly sat atop a large plateau giving it a considerable tactical advantage over all the nearby settlements. The town was the intersection of the Bowshaft Way with Shind Road and The Throat. A trail called Etarr's Road began here and wandered East into Ameros.
