Shadukar

Ruined City, Population 0   Once called the Jewel of the Sound, Shadukar is now a scorched ruin built into the side of a rocky shelf looking north toward Thronehold. Many Thranes believe the ruins are haunted. Karrnathi soldiers stormed the city of Shadukar in 959 YK. The city’s defenders were not expecting a Karrn attack from Cyre, especially one accomplished using soarwood skiffs that could glide across the Brey River. The Karrnathi troops took control of the city in a matter of hours and held the city hostage for two years. During that time, they looted and pillaged what they could. They let Thranes die of famine and massacred entire families. They animated dead Karrns and Thranes to reinforce their dwindling ranks.   Thrane forces from Flamekeep laid siege to the city, but they couldn’t punch through its defenses. In 961 YK, the Karrns finally withdrew, burning the city to the ground as they left. The Knights of Thrane and their cleric allies were able to destroy the remaining undead and rid the city of its Karrnathi stench. However, the damage and loss of life was staggering (over 7,000 Thranes lost their lives).   Ask any Thrane about Shadukar, and he’ll tell you it’s a cursed ruin ruled by ghosts.
