Surpassed by the newer city of Grand Coryan, Old Coryan remains as a largely forgotten, neglected relic of the age before the birth of the Empire. Now a den of malcontents, thieves and outcasts, the ancient metropolis is fertile ground for intrigue and mischief. Also, in the depths of the Shadowed Age, the val'Assante struck a deal with the ancient God of the Hills. Payment was made for many years by the Horned King, but now that king is dead and only the blood of the first among the val'Assante can set things aright.
