Kha Ersti

From World of Kralis

Originally founded as a trading way-moot by jundea and isande tribes, Kha Ersti was once the glory of the Western Realms before the first age. It grew quickly as traders from the south came to the way-moot and instead of traveling the many months it would take to get back to their original locations, many stayed and began building their own shops and homes. Slowly over a thousand years the city was filled with hundreds of thousands of beings from aelwyn to firbog to elves and dwarves as well as the human junde and isande descendants of the original founding tribes.

Known as a city of craftsman and artisans, Kha Ersti was an ancient place of learning that held no prejudice against any race. This would prove to be its ultimate downfall in the conflict with Azahak priests and their hordes. Having allowed a temple of Azahak to be built within the city, the elders of the city had set in motion a plan to enslave all of Kha Ersti and the free people of the plains.

In a final battle the city was struck with fell magics by Azahak priests and worshipers that caused the city to sink into the great swamp of Bhaalhoon, which was the final result of the evil that came upon the city and the region.

For months conflicts both internally and externally and afflicted the city, legions of Knights of Elal marched against the incursion of demons, ogres, giants, orcs and other foul creations in an attempt to rid the Western Realms of the evil of Azahak. In a combined effort by evil priests and spellcasters to put down the surging Knights, they summoned forth a portion of Kiltaryx to area, this brought forth a host of fiends, demons and infernal demons.

The city is now lost to the swamp becoming a home for demon and fiend kind as well as other monsters that inhabit the great swamp.
