Karnstein was a farming Gallantarian village sitting next to the Witchtooth Line.[1][2]
Description[]
The village in itself is regarded as "a mere speck of dust in the map, there's virtually nothing there", however it will be crucial during the adventure of the Legend of the Shadow Warriors.[3]
Karnstein is described by the Clown in the Circus of Dreams as "a boring little village in the middle of nowhere...that was once the site of some ancient battle." Karnstein is sited near to caves in the Witchtooth Line, and a large peak of sable-coloured rock called Dark Mountain.[2]
History[]
According to the book Myths and Legends of the Old World, the Karnstein area was once known as Assur-Na-Menes and was the place of a massive battle in which ten thousand men died. The task of burial was so great that the victors merely turned the soil of the battle plain over, covering the bodies where they laid.
It is said that the bodies lie there still, beneath a layer of dry earth on which nothing grows.[4] The location of the conflict is an area near Karnstein, called the Battle Plains.[2]
