[HQ Ignorance] Re : Scene 42: Wilkairtha Questions .. and arevelation.

[Lev Lafayette]

It's far more likely that Anzhur has heard of the
battles of Asgolan Fields as they're quite central to
Malkoni beliefs.

ie.,

The whole land of Old Seshnela was destroyed by vile
Sorcery at the close of the Second Age: the earth
rolled over, sending the fair cities and castles
crashing down; a tidal wave swept through the south,
eradicating all in its path; finally, the seas rose up
to engulf all but the highest places of the old
Kingdom. Their ancestors survived the tragic downfall
of their native land by fleeing to Tanisor, where they
ruled for centuries, preserving the manners and
customs of the old Kingdom in its most glorious years.
But then a vile heresy spread by the Rokar the
Sorcerer dissolved the bonds of feudal obligation that
held the land together; Bailifes the Oath-Breaker
fought against his rightful liege lord at the Second
Battle of Asgolan Fields, and winning by treachery,
drove all who remained loyal from his lands. Crossing
the Iron Mountains and Kanthor's Forest, they settled
along a remnant of Old Seshnela now known as the
Castle Coast, near the ruins of Frowal, capital of the
Old Kingdom. Here they still dwell, living lives of
chivalrous and gallant adventure, so different from
the grim oppression of the usurper Kings of Tanisor.
