Lore

A long time ago Eswen Mallan was a beautiful forest, its ancient name forgotten. lt was well for a time, until emnities between king Undamael and the general Calrian erupted into a short civil war, unfortunately ending with the death of the noble Calrian, the glorious days of the forest were over. Undamael was a tyran, interested in his own personal gail. then came Malgoriand, the forest was corrupted through strife and decay from Malgoriand's coming, and the darkness crept in.

An elven marble city known as Nashalrath held out for decades, the last remnant of light in the dark cursed forest which is now known as Eswen Mallan. Nashalrath fell in the end however, and became a bastion of dark elves, the day Felewyn struck Malgoriand down the land itself tore down Nashalrath, and the city sank deep beneath the soil, forgotten from the world.

The surviving Dark Elves adapted and became proficient in the arts of digging. Also their eyes became larger, and their bodies shorter. The Dark Elves began to dig, and finally reached the Halls of Charthane. Finding everything ruined and abandoned, the Depth Elves returned to their city, and the king cautiously asked them to wait for any sign of activity from their master.

During the Second Great War, which you(Your characters) are part of, Malgoriand finally made his presence known to the forgotten minions. Eager to return, the Depth Elves finished the last tunnel, connecting themselves and Nashalralth to the Halls of Charthane. However Unexpectedly all the Depth Elves retreated before they entered the Halls of Charthane, leaving lesser creatures to guard the tunnels, something bad had happended in Nashalrath.

Another tunnel the Depth Elves dug has reached something ancient, something of Loreldian design, which can well lead to the destruction of not only the Depth Elves, but Leann aswell.

Your mission is to navigate through the tunnels, past the city, and neutralize whatever the Depth Elves found, hoping it is not too late.

Miscellaneous

  • Originally Nashalrath was meant to be a 3 part map covering levels from 40 to 60 And being released slowly, practically it was supposed to be a saga ending in the endgame of Msc, however as nobody took up the challenge to finish the map, patches stopped appearing and the community started to decay this was never made possible, and J combined the 3 sources into the current Nashalrath
  • Nashalrath used to be the city of Demon Bludgeons, as its importance in lore was bumped and the Ms:S plot was outlined, it was decided to invent the Depth Elves.
  • Nashalrath was planned to have an attunement. During the original concept the non demon bludgeons took to the seas, however before leaving their female chief gave a 5 year old human boy she met outside Helena a coin. You were then supposed to find a note telling you that this coin is the key to Nashalrath(You needed this note to be able to complete the attunement), the note dropped from undeads, every undead had a chance to drop this, skeleton had 0.0001%, Calrian 3%, Atholo 15% etc. And once you had the note you were supposed to go to Helena and listen to a rumor telling you that the chief of the bovine people gave a young aspiring mercenary a coin many years ago. All this leads to Holden who would give you the coin. Once you had the coin you could enter Nashalrath from Challs. As the bludgeons are lorewise completely cut, this did not work. Beside i have not been able to coordinate it with the devs.
  • Nashalrath used to be an extension of Unrest 2 beta, it was back when Gurluas was striving to be a mapper, and Thothie gave him the assignment of expanding Unrest 2, this lead to the whole idea of Nashalrath. When J took over the map, he remade the whole Unrest 2 area so it is no longer possible to see that Nashalrath used to be an extension of Unrest 2 beta. A room made for the Unrest area still exists however.
  • This map has been worked on by: Jester(When the unrest 2 part used to be there), Gurluas, Little Frodo, and J
