Kharnek, is a ruined city in the Lion Heights mountains of Southern Allansia. It is described as the "accursed city of warrior-kings".[1]
History of Kharnek[]
The history of Kharnek is shrouded in mystery. It is not known who lived there, or when the city met its end. According to legend, Kharnek was once sacred to the God Telak. But it was attacked and destroyed by Demons who pushed the city off its mountaintop foundations into a ravine, and who left the dreadful Ishkarim to patrol the city's wreckage.[1]
When was Kharnek at its zenith?
Who were the Warrior-kings?
When did Kharnek meets its destruction (i.e. when did it fall into the ravine)? It is described as "ancient", but there are still remnants of curtains, murals, wooden doors, metals and so on, perhaps suggesting it is not as old as the Splitting of Irritaria (over 1,200 years before 284 AC).
Why is Kharnek now "accursed"?
Who (or what) do the 10,000 skulls and brains (385) belong to?
Why do the ancient soldiers of Kharnek come to the aid of Vymorna?
Denizens of Kharnek in 284 AC[]

Further Notes[]
- It seems likely that Kharnek is named after and partly inspired by the ancient Egyptian ruined temple complex, Karnak.
