An evil kingdom that rose in the ruins of Sinval, only to be destroyed in its turn by the Dragon
1115
Long ago, in the north of Alair, the kingdom of Sinval was erased by the vengeance of Varkar Barduric. Two hundred years later, a small but mighty humanoid kingdom existed in the extreme north of the resulting wilderness. Bugbear and ogre warriors serving depraved human leaders fought brutal wars of expansion, earning great fame and amassing considerable fortunes from their predations. Those who died in battle were buried in large tomb complexes dug into hillsides and honored as patrons of the living. Among these tombs was the large tor known as Hightower. Though it was neither the largest nor the most famous of the kingdom's tombs, Hightower did represent a typical example of this kind of structure. Peculiarly, these humanoids worshiped Shushkrah, the Scales of Steel, the god of the Lizardmen of the Trakar swamps.
As happens to all such nations, the cruel humanoid kingdom eventually fell to a more powerful foe. The forces of the Dark Dragon returned after another hundred years, and razed all its cities and outlying fortifications. By 1230 the whole kingdom was destroyed. The name of Morglas was entirely forgotten in the following centuries.
