the valley—its precise location now unknown, its ruins
lay moldering somewhere beneath the canopy of the
Thornwood—was the center of Morrdh.
While the Molgur assailed Menites to the south,
warriors of Morrdh began taking Molgur lives in the
north. While this kept a balance in terms of civilization
versus the barbaric throngs, it also meant that Morrdh
was an aggressive culture even in the early phases of
its development. It is said the kingdom arose out of
ten separate smaller provinces, each controlled by
a warlord. The warlords of these regions decided
to unite around 3,500 BR under the banner of one
leader. Morrdh soon became a fierce opponent of the
Molgur but never came into conflict with the southern
kingdoms or even the kingdoms of Khard.
The fate of Morrdh remains a mystery. What
historians know is that references to Morrdh by
other cultures call it the “Black Kingdom.” Writings
recovered from the time claim that the dead did not
die in Morrdh and that the spirits of ancient evils
dwelt there in number. While this may be superstitious
mythology, there is no doubt the people of Morrdh
left a mysterious legacy and undoubtedly great evils
slumber in the depths of the Thornwood.
From the Lawgiver to Man:
The Warlord Era
The Warlord Era is the foundation of civilization,
when Menite warrior-priests struggled against the
forces of barbarism. It was a raw time of great savagery
and bloodshed marked with the founding of new
city-states. It was a new time when even the smallest
village existed behind walls, and prayers to Menoth
were often the only difference between life and death
in the dark wilds. With the beginning of the Warlord
Era, the priest-kings of Calacia and Khard would tame
the wild with the rule of law and the judgment of steel.
Truly, the Warlord Era is a time when the worshippers
of Menoth faced off against the barbaric throngs
enslaved to the Devourer Wurm’s fierce energy and
chaotic ritual. It was a struggle between the gods
fought by their followers. If the Menites had failed,
civilization would have fallen into utter darkness.
