Redcrest

A City in the west fold of Thanemhein, near the Heradain border. The city is ruled by Lord Brenwulf, and his family has reigned there since Hogarth the Red established his ancestor.

A Haunting Tale
The city is renown by story tellers for its folklore, mainly the legend of the Ragged Lady. This lady, appears to people in their dreams. It is said that she appears as a beautiful young woman, with a silver circlet around her head, and wearing a white dress that has been torn. In the dream she sometimes calls the dreamers, beckoning them closer to her. Some say that they watch the Ragged Lady being killed in their dreams, that she is either drowned or burned. Another myth tied to the dream is that those who see it will die soon. Although there are some who have claimed to have the dream and have lived, there are still those who cling to this belief.

No one is quite sure who the Ragged Lady is or why she appears in people's dreams, but she only appears to people who live in or near the city of Red Crest.

Assault of the Frozen Legion
A fortnight after the Fellwind was restored, Ulderic sent the forces of the Frozen Legion to lay siege against the city of Redcrest. It was learned that the army was lead by a warlord named Tougal, whose coming was foreseen in a dream that Lord Brenwulf had. In the dream Brenwulf was said to describe that there were two riders, one he could see the other he could only hear their approach. The one rider he could see appeared as a man, with raven black hair and cloaked in grey robes. Before him went fire and ash, and behind him went ice and bone.

It was learned that this rider was in reference to Tougal's coming, and the terrible sorcerer was seen when the siege began at the army's command. Beside Tougal rode a dark figure, a large man in armor, wielding a black greatsword and riding on a beast with skin like brimstone and a mane like fire. It was discovered that this second rider was the brother of Tougal, who bore no name but was simply called the Black Pyre.
