To this day, it is unknown how the Iron Fields got their name, but few besides historians care for its origin, for another event happened here almost a millennia ago that would heavily shape the future of all of Eo. The Iron Fields is where Janus Malacay, a powerful necromancer and royal advisor to many Hybernian Kings, was struck down by the Guardians for breaking the rules of Aonir - and with his dying breath, he created the Shaikan.

For the longest part of their past, the Shaikan resided here atop a hill in the fortress Shaikur, together with the dragon Ur, but war, intrigues, and the death of their patriarch have driven them out from their home and forced them to seek a new one, leaving their castle, thought by many to be nigh impenetrable, desolate and cold, with only the voices of the past stuck between its crumbling walls.

Notable Individuals

Bor (deceased): Brother of the Soul Carrier
Lya (deceased): Sister of the Soul Carrier
Ur (deceased): Dragon and patriarch of the Shaikan
