Light's Peak

Light's Peak, a final Bastion of Kanthorn citizens in the time of The Great Blighting(1103), a horrible and chaotic event leading to the death of millions, and the fall of every known country on the continent.

Light's peak (formally the Light's Mane) is a mountain near the center of the continent that had enough concentrated Light Magic with the additional help of Apollo, deity and caretaker of the sun, and with his cleric forces. They somehow managed to to repel the darkness, and provide a place for the many refugees that slowly appeared and took refuge within the city walls. Soon enough, even the massive city of Light's Peak had to expand. Luckily for everyone a group of great Dwarvish architectural engineers had recently arrived allowing the construction of new walls to happen in only one and a half year as opposed to the estimated seven it would have otherwise, thus allowing thousands of more refugees a safe place from the terrors of the darkness blighted wilderness.

Not much is known about this "Blight" besides if not for a select few heroes, even the small amount of survivors would have died due to its anti-natural composition. The land around the city even centuries later still shows its scars, and only now has farming been possible in the surrounding fields and adventuring and scouting missions been sanctioned.

Inside the walls, the political landscape of a once utopian endeavor has slowly soured as countries, kings and rules demanded and vied for power within Light's peak. Upon entering the cities by 1145, Elven emperors, Dwarvish kings, and Glade runner Chiefs (amongst the others) were seen as equals in a council representing their districts and people. While a system meant for good and equality many didn't realize the Dwarvinian and Dwarvish people were quite a seperate political entities at this point to name one of many. This lead to more and more divides down the years, some groups starting corporations, factories, schools and other businesses to have any say or power in the walls. Slowly more and more corporations has real political control and rule over districts, allowing for profit rather than benevolence to dictate what laws were passed and how guards enforced the law. As of now, the amount of factions, political leaders, and corporate leaders battling for power is overwhelming even for experts in the heart of the city and the chaos within seems to only grow.
