Lyndale

Lyndale, now known as the City of the Dead, was a large port-city in Landren, and among the first city states to become a part of the nation when Wolf-King Gregor unified the tribes of Landren in 1309. The city is currently almost completely bereft of Human life after years of brutal civil conflict in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries have left it overrun with Corewhisps and undead.

Current State

Lyndale is on the border of Landren's territory northeast of the Crescent Sea. It's still internationally recognized as part of Landren, if only because no other imperial power would dare to claim the cursed city. The castles, homes, and factories of Lyndale are hollowed out shells, bombed out and burned by the many factions that once fought over control of the port city. More than half of the buildings are irreparably damaged.

Corewisps are the most dangerous inhabitants of the ruins, and the primary reason for its abandonment. The ominous creatures haunt the streets, numbering in the hundreds or perhaps even thousands. This is the highest concentration of Corewisps known in Vildrel, and their great numbers make them more aggressive than when they're encountered elsewhere. Contemporary accounts describe corewhisps swarming caravans and river boats that dare to near the city.

Intethus skeletal undead also haunt the ruins in unknown numbers, remnants of necromancer shapers who once used the cities many dead as a police force against antimonarchist factions during the hight of the city's civil conflict in the early nineteenth century.
