Old Valorath

Beyond the cursed marshes, hidden deep beneath the earth, lie the ruins of Old Valorath, once the imperial seat of the Drassar, an ancient reptilian race whose warriors, scholars, and powerful mystics carried their dominion across vast territories of Eratiath. Its immense halls, temples, and fortified chambers were carved into the stone, silent monuments to a civilization that believed its rule would endure forever. Valorath fell when the forbidden experiments of Druvina, an occultist obsessed with conquering death, unleashed a terrible curse from beneath the Vault of the Vanished. Necrotic corruption spread through flesh and soul, turning the empire's proud defenders into maddened, rotting husks and leaving entire bloodlines sealed behind stone. The empire collapsed, but its curse endured. Now Old Valorath lies as the graveyard of a forgotten civilization, its ruined halls haunted by the remnants of the Drassar and by secrets that were buried for good reason.
