From the summit of a barren slope at the eastern end of a deep, rocky vale that delves between two of the northernmost spurs of the mighty Felrundin Range, you stare down at the shattered remains of Tarn -- the legendary "City of Sorcerers".
Over the centuries since its abandonment, following the uprising that cast the Tarn-Hurn from power, the city has succumbed to decay and fallen into ruin. Its once-grand boulevards are now little more than rubble-choked passages that meander through a perilous maze of toppled monuments and crumbling buildings, whose time and purpose have long since been forgotten.
