Urguan's Hall
|
Urguan's Hall was the former capital of the Atheran Dwarves (sometimes referred to as the Forgotten Dwarves) who were its builders and inhabitants. The events of Urguan's Hall (and the rest of Athera before the Descendant Races immigrated) took place prior to year 0 of the modern Aegis calendar.
When Iblees came to Athera the Forgotten Dwarves built a structure they called "The Seal" that was capable of capturing soul within itself, even binding Angudaemons to it. Though the seal became their destruction, the machine worked. To protect the world they locked themselves within the Hall. It is not completely known what happened to the last Dwarves who survived the great turmoils of The Seal, but accounts from Rivel's scouts describe hearing screams behind a sealed door. The survivors being tortured by haunting apparitions of the soul snatching Seal.
Garzardiel would deceive Aeriel and trap her in the soul capacitors. An archaengul provided more than enough power to operate the machine. Garzardiel then used the Ethereal Magnet to capture Iblees in one last battle and sealed him into the pocket dimension, where he could not interact with the outside world at all. Aeriel soon realised Garzardiel’s gambit: while Aeriel could easily escape the soul capacitors, doing so would break them, freeing both Iblees and a countless bodiless dwarven souls also trapped inside. Iblees could then consume them and reach his full power once more. She either had to stay and be the force holding Iblees outside the mortal world, or be freed and unleash him with untold power. So Aeriel stayed, slowly reaching out to the Ascended, hoping that her servants would find a way to free her without bringing about the doom of the world.
Modern History In (year for Sep 28th) the descendant races gathered 5 keys which opened the doors to Urguan's Hall. They unlocked the room to The Seal and destroyed it, releasing Aeriel and Iblees once again.
