Shadukar , called the "Jewel of the Sound", was once a beautiful city in Thrane overlooking Scions Sound and bounded to the south by what is now called the Burnt Wood . [1] [2] The city was captured and subsequently destroyed in 961 YK by an invading Karrnathi force led by General Horacht . The army held the city hostage against a Thranish siege for months before completely destroying the city in their withdrawal. [3] [4] More than 7000 Thranes perished with the city. [1]
The city was never rebuilt and most Thranes consider the place cursed. The Church of the Silver Flame sent clerics in to cleanse the place, but the undead there exacted a heavy toll, and the ruins have been abandoned since, except by foolhardy adventurers and desperate fugitives. [2]
Legacy
The city's destruction was considered one of the worst atrocities of the Last War . [5] Some of the military of Thrane considered the bombing of Rekkenmark in 974 YK to be retaliation for Shadukar. [6]
