Kingdom of Vyss

Ta-Ithimar

On the edge of the K`Lori Wastes rests the town of Ta-Ithimar. Bereft of the foliage that covers most of Shalzaar, the town is actually one huge burrow, with a single passage shaped into the ground by elemental sorcery, then winds deep below into a network of caves that comprise a healthy and thriving community of Shadow Elves. While the arrangement of a town made of Elf-Made caves is somewhat cumbersome for other peoples (especially the claustrophobic) it has given Ta-Ithimar a highly defensible and fortified position against the roving bands of Xar-Kah that prowl the area.

That isn't to say the scorpion-men of the K`Lori Wastes haven't tried. At least twice in the last ten years, a huge war band of Xar-Kah attempted to lay siege to Ta-Ithimar in hopes of gaining access to the city and plundering it. The Xar-Kah didn't count on the Shadow Elves knowing teleportation magic that made a siege on the town nearly impossible. The town's ongoing skirmishes with the Xar-Kah are certainly a point of interest for traveling adventurers and mercenaries as are the ruins of Fort K`Lori deeper into the wastes.
