Shallach Ruins

the Ruins of Shallach
Continent	Basin of Life
Plane	Prime Material Plane

Formerly the Fortress of Shallach, a mighty stronghold held by the ur'Guard before its destruction during the Taint Wars, all that remains are the spoilt remains of this once impenetrable structure, now known as the Shallach Ruins. Once concealed by a barrier which was shattered by the Horn of Urlach and a ritual sacrifice, in more recent times a colony of orcs have taken residence on the upper part of the fortress. The remnants of the former ur'Guard, the ur'dead, reside in the lower segments of the ruins, watching over the diamond of Urlach and the entrance to the Catacombs of the Dead.
