Description

Situated atop a forgotten mothercrystal, this frozen valley recently became the site of Castle Zvahl - the citadel of the Shadow Lord. In the time of the Crystal War, the valley was something out of a nightmare, teeming with blighted souls and dread fiends from the underworld. This perilous area was soon to be the location of the most decisive battle of the war.

Campaign Battles here are especially dangerous owing to the aggressive and high-level monsters roaming near the fort. Caution is advised.
