| − | '''Xak Tsaroth''' was once a thriving city on the central eastern coast of [[Abanasinia]]. The city was founded by the descendents of the [[Ut-kiri]] tribe. The wealthy city was led by merchant lords and home to a [[Temple of Mishakal (Xak Tsaroth)|Temple of Mishakal]]. |

||
| − | During the [[Cataclysm]] it was partially destroyed and the surviving inhabitants fled. Most of the surviving city slid down a cliff face and was buried in a cavern, while the temple itself was one of the only buildings to escape destruction during the Cataclysm. The remains of the city on the surface would then overlook from a cliff the [[New Sea]]. |

||
| − | [[Cursed Lands]] surrounded the ruined city and was later discovered by [[Gully Dwarves]] when [[Nulph Bulp]] fell down a shaft which led into Xak Tsaroth. Nulph then claimed the city as [[Bulp Clan|Bulp]] property and allowed the [[Slud Clan]] and [[Glup Clan]] to also move in. [[Glunggu Bulp]] invented a lift made of two large pots which was constructed inside the Xak Tsaroth and later used by the [[Draconians]]. |

| − | ==War of the Lance== |
||
| − | During the [[War of the Lance]], [[Khisanth]] the [[Black Dragon]] claimed Xak Tsaroth in order to guard the [[Disks of Mishakal]]. She had draconian forces to aid her, and they then enslaved the gully dwarves. The [[Heroes of the Lance]] slew Khisanth and caused more destruction to the city by its collapsing further into the Newsea. |

| − | After fleeing during all the fighting, the Aghar later resettled into Xak Tsaroth and all three clans merged into one united clan of Bulps, under the (able?) leadership of the [[Highbulp]]. The ruins of Xak Tsaroth are also home to a number of other more malign creatures, which lie in wait for the unwary visitor. |
