Halag was the seat of power for northeastern Sascria before the Collapse. It had been administered by a powerful cabal of wizards that kept the beastfolk and other monsters of the area in check. When the Collapse happened, the beastfolk were released from the manipulative magics that prevented their misbehavior and in many cases also developed forms of insanity. There is little known about what happened in Halag from there because the only surviving humans that lived there fled within the first couple days.

Since beastfolk do not commonly  have magical aptitude, it is believed that there are troves of magical artifacts and constructions that are buried in vaults beneath the town. Whether their magics still exist or not is unknown, but those that lust for what magical power remains in Gondal know that there are treasures to be found in Halag if they can get beyond the chaos that has befallen the town.

Points of Interest

Dominion Guildhouse - The ruling wizards of Halag were all from the School of Dominion. They used their powerful enchantment magic to breed and manipulate the beastfolk and other monsters that were kept as slaves and workers in the city's frontier defenses and public works projects. The human populace had become quite happy with their existence since the Dominion Guildhouse had lead efforts to improve the town's water supply and keep crime to low levels not seen for generations. Despite the Collapse, the defensive magics of the guildhouse remain somewhat intact, and the building remains free from the destructive acts of the angry beastfolk.

The Pens - Prior to the Collapse, this area was little more than a slum where the the vast majority of the beastfolk in the town lived. When the magic keeping them in check fell, they overran most of the town to kill or evict the human inhabitants. Being the most derelict part of the town, the Pens are now prowled by dangerous monsters.
