Eons ago, strange creatures from outside of Eo suddenly appeared in this world. They were gruesome and bellicose, and the Guardians did not take kindly to their presence, for Aonir's rules forbade alien creatures from entering. So, the Gods struck these strangers down, however, as they were foreign, Hirin refused to take their souls to the Mor Duine, instead, leaving them neither alive nor dead, doomed to roam the walls of the City of Souls for eternity.
But the strangers piqued the interests of far more than the Guardians. When they first arrived, they brought many incredible riches alongside them - riches that would be sought after by thieves and adventurers across the ages. Most of them failed, and in the end, it was but one individual, the Circle Mage Raith, the Black, who fully understood the secrets of this place - secrets, that he would eventually take with him to his grave.
