The Ruins of Torthil lie south of Kymal along the Wildwood Byway and just outside of the Ivyheart Thicket. It contains little other than the broken remnants of the long-gone village and an obsidian monument in memory of the death of king Warren Drassig.[1]
History[]
Torthil was a village during the Scattered War. Rumored to be a refugee haven, Warren Drassig attacked the village but found no one. After regrouping at the city center, Warren started giving a speech to his army. He was struck by a volley of arrows at that moment and killed. After taking the throne, Warren's son Neminar attacked the village, killed every rebel and burned Torthil to the ground.[2] Today in the ruins stands an obsidian monument to the death of Warren.[1]
As of 836 PD, the ruins of Torthil harbor occasionally outlaws and cultists who use the ghost stories that surround this place to avoid suspicion. Around this time a treasure hunter awakened a platinum golem buried for centuries beneath a landslide in one of the nearby hills.[3]
