Content[]
Only an hour's march south of Frostspire Pass, the lonely ruins of Wesrin Cross have borne witness to some of the darkest hours of Ehb's turbulent history. Originally constructed as an Inn by Imperial trader Fiola Wesrin sometime in the 7th century, it has served, at times, as a barracks, a menageria, a gatehouse, and a royal residence. The sheer volume of blood shed in its shadow has made it a tormented place, haunted with memories of the birth of the Kingdom.
With the arrival of the Seck and the Imperial forces from the esat, the sitewas heavily re-fortified by the 10th Legion, and a gated underground route linked to recent excavations made from the Glitterdelve mine.
During the War of Legions, the Seck briefly occupied the tunnels, using them to house a corps of Guild spider drovers. While the subterranean confinement pens were later torn out by the reoccupying Legion forces, a magical homing taint remained in the tunnels, which continues to attract the descendants of the Seck-controlled Arakun spiders to this day.
Following the completion of new fortifications north of Frostspire Pass in 935, Wesrin Cross was at last deemed unsuitable for continued military use. Retiring it with full honors, the fortress was turned over to royal family of Ehb. It would stay vacant for the next fifteen years.
In 970, Edvard the 'Goblin Pretender' became the last man to officially occupy Wesrin Cross. Refurbrishing its crumbling ceilings and chambers at extravagantly wasteful costs, he employed over forty goblin engineers working day and night to prevent its seemingly emminent collapse.
In the end, it would be here, at the first fortress of Ehb, that the 10th Legion would do battle with their treasonous Grand Mage Olvis, and Wesrin Cross would, sadly, be laid waste by order of its last and most ambitious architect.
