History
The city is said to have appeared out of thin air, and many believe it is from another plane all together. The rulers, The Burned King and The Masked Lords of Greenforthe are all strange enigmatic entities that are very rarely ever seen outside the grounds of the castle.
When the city began to grow in size, the citizens at one point grew upset with the king, partially as a rumored political plot by the Masked Lords and partially due to his apparent distain for the people of Greenforthe. A riot took place outside the castle and the castle was overran by the denizens and the people took the King to the town centre and burnt him alive. It's said that everyone who witnessed the charred corpse of the king saw a twisted grotesque face beneath his charred skin, and that they hated it so much they threw his burnt remains in the river as soon as possible. For seven days following Ravens amassed on the bridge over where his body was throw and would circle the water, cawing at the quietly flowing river. On the seventh day they scattered and regrouped at the castle. Rumour says that the castle walls were barely visible under the mass of ravens perched all across it. The Masked Lords, who had taken the seat of power within the city, reported on that day that the King had returned, and that he was in the seat of power once again.
The king has never made a public appearance since, but some folk say they see a man in a raven's mask with charred skin wandering around the city at night, and nearby homes report nightmares of witnessing the same such creature.
