Rundalfelt 
*From Novel*1) Rundalfelt was a city known for it’s docks, it was attached to a great lake, that was connected by the Rundalfelt River that ran through both Githeth and Yodgonosh, among other cities. It had never been known to run strongly or overflow, and it was thought magical that it could travel from the ocean and across the land to the great lake, that was almost in the center of the land. 2) Rundalfelt was spread out next to the lake, and blocked in by it’s great walls. Around the area were farms, as Rundalfelt supplied several of its surrounding cities with food, year round. If the city wasn’t properly running then not only did those that lived in the city suffer, but those that relied on it as well. Ariane knew there was more at stake then just the peasants as she looked at the burning city from atop of the hill. Temples and homes were blazing and a large smoke cloud seemed to be suspended over the city. The armies had gathered around in camps far enough away to protect themselves from arrows. Catapults were being created on the sights, but if it was all possible they would prefer to leave the walls up. The walls were built by the city’s founder, Lord Rundal, who was believed to of made a deal with a demon for power. It was said that upon the day he was to pay the demon back, he felt that the demon would want much more then the souls of half the population of the city. He felt that his own time had drawn near, knowing that the deal couldn’t be fulfilled if he was dead, as the contract stated he would live until he was seventy. Rundal threw himself into the upset waves of the lake and drowned, after that day neither the river nor the lake had overflowed or become violent during a storm. He saved the city from the demon’s destruction, his feeling had proven accurate and the demon, which many prophets sensed lingering around the city, vanished. More to come... |
