Founded in the year 11,502 BE, Shadowhold emerged as a coastal city with a storied history intricately woven with mysticism, commerce, and the enduring Ravenswood legacy. Originating as a modest settlement, Shadowhold burgeoned under the guidance of the Ravenswood family. The city's strategic coastal location not only facilitated maritime trade but also led to the construction of the Lunar Lighthouse, a sentinel guiding vessels safely through perilous waters and establishing Shadowhold as a beacon of navigation.
Over the passing centuries, Shadowhold metamorphosed into a bastion of arcane arts and mysticism, epitomized by the renowned enchanters and illusionists dwelling in Shadecraft Alley. The city's economic prowess burgeoned with the establishment of the Ebony Vaults Bank at the thriving Coinbearer's Exchange. Celestial Plaza, a hub for grand events, became emblematic of Shadowhold's profound connection to celestial influences. The spiritual heart of the city, Eternal District, flourished with the construction of The Eternal Flame, fostering a deep reverence for Lethra. Shadowhold's resilience shone through the lively Brewer's Haven, the bustling Market Pride, and the skilled Shadow Wardens safeguarding the city from threats.
