The Lost City of Draveth-Ur
Long ago, before mortals came to walk the Earth, when the world still belonged to magical races of all sorts, there existed a marvelous city...No, marvelous didn't begin to describe it. It was a city founded by the Arteneth family, the most respected family of Artificers in the world at the time. Back then, it was said that Artificering wasn't a career choice, it was in ones blood...that when you started your life as an Artificer, you weren't an Elf Artificer or a Dwarf Artificer... You were simply an Artificer. With this kind of unity in mind, The Arteneth Family made Draveth-Ur to be a city exclusively for Artificers, trades that supported their art and their families. It was a city of mechanical wonders, a place of technological magic amongst a world of natural magic. For centuries, it was a shining gem in a world of natural wonders.
However, when the war between Lo'Que and Xenon broke out, the city was going to side with Xenon. Their golems and creations might have been enough to turn the tide of battle in Xenon's favor...Had they not had a traitor in their midst. A young Artificer by the name of Val'toren, who had always been jealous of the status and natural abilities the Arteneth Family had. As the city slept, awaiting the following day in which they were going to pledge their allegiance to Xenon, Val'toren reprogrammed most of the cities' golems to turn on their masters, resulting in not only a slaughter, but a complete razing of the city. What few Artificers were left fled, trying to keep their bloodline alive. Draveth-Ur became a fortress for Lo'Que's forces when they arrived in the world. However, before Val'toren could raise the golems that were left under Lo'Que's banner, the remaining Artificers led a strike force against him, over-riding enough golems to make their way to Val'toren and slaying him for all that he had done. Only one Artificer made it out of the city afterwords, fleeing as the Daemons chased him from the only home he had known... David Arteneth, the last of his bloodline...
...Or so it was believed.
