Fallar

"On the shores of the Arnac Bay is the city of Fallar. It is old and has seen many wars. For centuries it was served as a strategic stronghold on the Fendalian border. In recent history, the ruling family of Fallar, the House of Blackwood was rumoured of having bred with demonspawn, bringing an end to their rule over the city. Three decades ago, the rumour spread that the town's lords bred with demonspawn. At first, they tried to control the story, but with little success. The little daughter of the lord was seen in public multiple times, with demonic horns protruding from her skull and eyes black and the night. The people of the city were upset and ordered the little girl to be sacrificed to Annaaru during the Summer Festival. However, the lord refused, insisting that there was no evil in the girl. Shortly after that the lord of his wife died in a suspicious accident when their coach fell off a cliff. It was unclear if the little girl had been with them, but she wasn't seen again after the incident. The lord's brother, Deiniol Blackwood, took over the city, and married the Duchess of Arnallan, forming a powerful alliance. He quickly rose to power and his son, Deiniol of Arnallan was to inherit the mighty lordships of his mother and father, but it was not to last long. One dark night he was murdered in his sleep. When the servants found him his was were wide open and they said you could still see the reflection of the demon girl in them. Ever since then the castle of Fallar is believed to be haunted by the girls and her demon minions. The death of Deiniol Blackwood brought an end to their House and other noble houses in the city started vying for power. It was Jolmer of Fallar who was able to claim the lordship. Though his House was only a minor one, he made sure to establish his legitimacy quickly by arranging several marriages. One of these is to the brother of Duke Deiniol of Arnallan. Duke Deiniol was to inherit the city of Fallar upon his father's death, and is still bitter over his "lost" land. Rather than declaring open war, he plays the long game and has been plotting for many years to overthrow Jolmer from within." D. Harewood, Fendalian Cartographer
