The village of [[Sarh'ael Glade]] stood for ages within the confines of the  
[[Zsarachnor]], the Vampire Lord (lower level)|discoverer=Azhrarn|founder=[[Meran'tir]]}}
swamps south of the [[Barren Wastelands]]. Formed by a tribe of [[sylayan]] lost
from their northern homes, the simple community of trackers and hunters
quickly became a lively village, one that benefitted from [[Stavenn]]-bound
merchants as much as they did the natural game that inhabited both the 
depths of the swamp nearby and the plain forest that surrounded it.   
Renowned amongst plain villages for their expertly trained pack dogs, 
they survived contently for decades, nestled within their isolated home.


'''Azdun''' is a dungeon within the [[Dakhota Hills]], discovered by the [[serpent]] '''Azhrarn''' in 190 AF. It is located below the courtyard of a ruined castle and accessed via descent through a hidden well.
One day, a recluse necromancer from the nearby city of Stavenn stumbled
upon their home, weary and wounded from the stealthy marauders that   
tracked the wastelands. Startled at his ability to affect life and     
death, as well as awed, the village began to dabble in the darker arts,
learning what they could of the necromancer before he perished. One   
specific pupil, the youngest daughter of the village's elder, was     
particularly adept, surpassing the necromancer and amassing great power
in a short time. The villagers became frightened at her mastery over the
death arts, and in their fear, barricaded her in a westward cave, her 
father laying the last stone that sealed the entrance. For nearly a    
decade they went uninterrupted, until the woman burst forth from her   
prison, warped and aged from the rigors of her mastery and filled with 
hatred at what her kin had done. Magickally sealing off the village and
the surrounding bog, she unleashed her wrath upon her former village   
behind closed doors, continuing her studies and pursuing higher power at
the cost of her former family.                                        


==Discovery==
It was only in modern times that the elder son of the village elder,  
Azhrarn Amaratha (born [[Aeguary]] 6, 166 AF) is the [[adventurer]] responsible for the discovery of this area. While wandering through the [[Dakhota Hills]], Azhrarn chanced upon the heretofore unnoticed ruins of an old castle. Upon descending through a decrepit well in the courtyard nearby, he stumbled across a mining operation headed by [[goblins]]. Though the goblins chased him relentlessly, he found a sanctuary in which to catch his breath. Azhrarn was largely scoffed at by [[Sapience]] upon the revelation of his discovery; his tale did not gain credence until [[Sarapis]] Himself made a public [[news]] post that lauded the [[Serpent|Serpent's]] bravery and encouraged all to follow his example.
