Steinort

The Forsaken Stone Town

Steinort, once a bustling hub of sorcery and arcane knowledge, now lies in desolation, its former vibrancy buried beneath layers of silence and decay. The town, constructed entirely of stone, stands as a ghostly reminder of its past inhabitants—a powerful guild of sorcerers whose presence infused the very stones with magic. These sorcerers built Steinort as a testament to their might, using it as a sanctuary for their mystical gatherings, where they debated spells, concocted potent potions, and safeguarded priceless magical artifacts within their fortified walls.

However, the tranquility of Steinort was shattered by an invasion from the northern valleys. A formidable force of undead warriors and fearsome beasts, led by a malevolent necromancer, descended upon the town, seeking to claim the guild's magical treasures. Despite their valiant efforts, the sorcerers were overwhelmed, and the town fell into ruin, its secrets buried under the rubble.

Today, Steinort is a place of eerie stillness. The stone ruins echo with the whispers of the past, preserving the memories of its tragic fall. Ghostly apparitions are said to wander the deserted streets, guardians of the secrets and treasures that lie hidden within the crumbling walls. These spectral remnants of the once-mighty guild wait for someone worthy to uncover the mysteries that still linger, locked away in the forgotten corners of this forsaken town.
