Am-Orah was a city that was the focal point of much of the fighting in the Shalzaarian Border Wars. The Dragons, who were repelled from Moonfall felt perhaps their chances would be much better with Am-Orah. Through the past few years, they have managed to cut off the main trade routes between Moonfall and this ancient Elvish city which forced the armies of the Grand Duchy to march to Am-Talisa first, re-supply then march to Am-Orah. While the Shadow Elves are xenophobic, King Nevrezh had long realized the need to allow the Humans and other races passage through their lands on a limited basis if he ever hoped to secure the city — a triumph he would never live to see.
Unlike many of the ancient cities built by the first Moon Elves, Am-Orah was spared the destruction of Shar`Vaire airships and magic by the city's magi having enough time to erect the intricate misdirection illusions used by all the major Shadow Elf cities today. Unfortunately because of Arisyeema's betrayal, the Xannti Dragons, led by Thanaxiscar were able to penetrate the illusion and take the city. As such, it was once considered a haven of cultural heritage; a lost time where they still smiled at Zorah's Moon and did not feel their skin burn from Kaal's ever-shining sun.
The Misyn-Virana (or House of Memories) is located here and once contained many ancient texts written by the ancient Shei Prince that guided the first Moon Elves here. Also contained here are documents, memoirs and diaries kept during the War of Eternals kept by soldiers, lords and sorcerers that fell in battle, or had the fortune of living through the bloody conflict and donated their works to this vast hall of knowledge. With the recent re-capture of Am-Orah by Sivanoshei forces led by Corwyn Greenthorn and Kithanis uth Braegon, much of this lore was either burned by the dragons or stolen by Arisyeema when she fled the city.
Much rebuilding of both dreams and cultural lore is ahead for the Tallis-Vyss that attempt to reclaim their homes in Am-Orah. Despite the destruction of the majority of the weaker undead that had been raised by the Kiris Miran, there still remains more powerful undead that took refuge into the daylight travel tunnels under the city. Fearsome undead that include Shambling Horrors lurk below and will need to be destroyed before the city is fully inhabitable again.
