History

In 1135 AD, the city transformed into a brief but intense battlefield as Elven Rebels initiated a Rebellion against Queen Manael Soliadon Tana, besieging the castle. Refusing to surrender, the queen barricaded herself within the castle walls, prompting the rebels to resort to burning the city in an attempt to draw her out. The castle gates eventually opened, leading to the rebels successfully eliminating the queen. However, the fierce battle also sparked large fires that rapidly spread through the city.   Trillium, a druid from the Circle of Wildfire, collaborated with a group of adventurers to combat the raging fires, providing assistance in extinguishing the flames while the adventurers confronted the rebel forces.
