User:Zone Descriptions Project/Prophet's Landing

Before the fall of Nagthilian, Baldakos started to plot with Kaezulian infiltrators about helping Kaezul invade. He started recruiting followers within Nagthilian and through charisma and rhetoric began somewhat of a personality cult around him. Baldakos promised his people - all the dark elves that followed him into service of Kaezul - a better future, where they would not have to bow before any of the "lesser" races - humans, the other elven races and the other younger races. A few citizens of Nagthilian listened to this heretical speech, embracing Baldakos' prophetic vision. The majority of the population was completely unaware of Baldakos' cult.

When Kaezul gave the word Baldakos and his followers released the mist inside of Nagthilians defensive wards and fled the city. The Kaezulian Armada was awaiting them in North Wastes and brought them to Ikisith. Kaezul had long ago made an edict that no unclean race would ever settle on Ikisith soil so the Nagthilians had to build their city from the parts of the ships off the coast of the white cliffs of Ikisith. Over time a small landfill island formed and the city was declared Baldakan after the prophet of the Nagthilian's journey Baldakos. Baldakan's prime location as a shipping harbor soon made it an important part of the empire regardless of the stigma placed on its inhabitants due to their race.

Since Baldakos was the prophet of his people, the region surrounding Balkadan is known as Prophet's Landing in the current age.
