Overview
Origins
- Corrodreth was built at the height of the Generations’ War by an empire that mysteriously appeared, seemingly from the arcane fallout surrounding the Inhabitable Lands.
- The mysterious empire that built Corrodreth collapsed soon after the Darkwells flooded much of the Inhabitable Lands. This left Corrodreth as a lone city state.
The Serpent Wars
- Known in these times as “The Salted City”, the desolate ruins of Corrodreth are talked of in hushed tones by citizens of Tiialia.
- At the conclusion of the Serpent Wars, the enraged Tiialans laid siege to the city, destroying and salting it to ensure that no green thing would again grow in Corrodreth.
- Much of the city was left as is, as the destruction wrought by the Tiialan artillery mages was devastating. The landscape surrounding Corrodreth still suffers from these wounds, a sobering reminder of the realities of arcane warfare.
- It is said that the yuan-ti warlocks summoned an eldritch entity to the city in its twilight hour, but it would not serve, and so it remains buried in the deepest chambers of the ruined city.
