Foefire Domain of Dread

In this cursed place, two spot offer peace: the order in which Yorick's acolyte died, as his presence put the ghost to peace, and the inn called the Haunted Keg.

Description

The domain of dread encompass the capital of Eldrida, Rin and its surrounding.
Bright Barge Dock. Rin was once a thriving coastal city, its harbors bustling with life and trade. Now, dark and cursed waters lap against its decaying docks, trapping the souls of those who dare to flee the Domain of Dread by sea.
Amid this gloom, one haven remains: The Haunted Keg. Perched at the edge of the rotting dock, this weathered tavern serves as one of the few safe oases in the domain.
Castle of Frozen Tears. King Adelbern the arch Wraith rules a court of shades. The castle itself is made of finely worked blue-white stone, luminous over the plains.

Society

Ghosts of Rin

Some rare ghosts partially escaped the curse, allowing them a semblance of free will.

History

Adelbern was an heir of king Duric, the half Dragon and inheritor of the first Dragon King and the ruler of the Kingdom of Eldrida. During a time when Magic was rare, the kingdom oppressed spellcasters. However, the balance of power shifted dramatically when the Nexus Overflow occurred, leading to an uncontrollable civil war that ultimately led to the kingdom's self-destruction.
In 3042 BD, Adelbern plunged his sword into the ground, channeling the power of an artifact to spread his will and unleash a curse known as the Foefire upon the land. The Foefire was a desperate act by Adelbern as revolutionary forces were storming the capital city. Although a group of infiltrators from the revolution had intended to kill Adelbern, they instead encountered his servant, Savione, who warned them of the king's madness and his plan. Despite the warning, the revolution proceeded with their attack. The capital city was overrun, and as soldiers attempted to retreat, Adelbern unleashed the Foefire. The result was the Death of the revolutionaries and the complete annihilation of every Human in the city. Their bodies were destroyed, and their souls were cursed to forever "protect" the land, perceiving any living being as a threat and constantly reforming themselves after destruction.
Adelbern's decision to not only eliminate the revolutionaries but also to curse the land itself was a fateful and horrifying choice. He chose to sacrifice his own people rather than let them escape. This curse consumed Adelbern's soul, transforming him into an arch wraith, and turning the capital city into a realm of darkness known as a Domain of Dread.
