569 BR, with the total destruction of Old Korska even<br />

the mighty Khardic Empire had fallen to the Orgoth<br />

conquerors.<br />

Now established, the Orgoth began building<br />

temples and <strong>for</strong>tresses using the natives as slave labor.<br />

The Orgoth taskmasters showed no mercy and drove<br />

even the youngest children to work in mines and<br />

camps. By the time the Orgoth moved to conquer<br />

Rynyr in 542 BR, they had established a <strong>for</strong>tified and<br />

undeniably dominant presence in western Immoren.<br />

The Fall of the Thousand Cities: The Seeds<br />

of Rebellion<br />

It took a full two centuries be<strong>for</strong>e the Orgoth<br />

Empire was firmly established. This brought about the<br />

demise of the Thousand Cities Era, reducing many of<br />

the towns and villages to ruins. It had been the first<br />

time Morrowan and Menite paladins had put aside<br />

their differences and fought side by side, yet it availed<br />

them little. The Orgoth had proven unstoppable.<br />

In the year 433 BR an Orgoth warlord made this<br />

declaration outside the walls of Caspia, as scribed by<br />

the Menite cleric Garven Dratheus:<br />

You are ours. Your women, your children, they are no<br />

longer yours. You belong to us, your every breath, every drop of<br />

blood, every inch of skin. Every tear, every laugh, every broken<br />

bone, every drop of sweat is ours. You are the chattel of this<br />

land made fat by your own weakness. That I deign to speak to<br />

you this once is a warning. Your souls are ours; in death, you<br />

shall also belong to us.<br />

After uttering this speech, the warlord—since<br />

known as the Butcher of the Wall—drank the still warm<br />

and flowing blood of the Morrowan Primarch Gallumus<br />

and the Menite Hierarch Sadron IV. Their corpses were<br />

bled dry and dangled on gallows by ropes made from<br />

the hair of their own priests until their bones were<br />

pecked clean and fell untouched to the earth.<br />
