Established in the year 1514 by Jarl Magnus Blackfist, Kal'Krest was the Blackfist city in the eastern portion of the Kazulran mountains. It was built upon the highest mountain top and was home to both the Blackfist Clan and any other members of the Blackfist Company. After the fall of the Mountain Monarchy the city was abandoned as the majority of it's population died in the Battle of the Mountains.

Etymology

While the miners were clearing out the interior of the mountain, a large glowing emerald crystal was found deep within the heart of the mountain. As a result the city was name Kal'Krest which is City of the Crystal in Dwarven.

History

Construction

Upon landing on Vailor and assembling the Blackfist Clan, Magnus Blackfist set out to find a place to start a city of his own where his kind could grow and prosper. After settling on the easternmost mountain peak of the Kazulran mountains, Morug Jr. and his fellow workers set about mining out the mountain. After weeks of hard work, the mountain was hallowed out and the emerald crystal of Kal'Krest was discovered and gifted to Magnus Blackfist by his clansmen. Wanting for all to see the great emerald, Magnus had his stonemason's build it into the top of his throne which would become known as the Emerald Throne of Kal'Krest.
