Talamir

From PathfinderWiki

Talamir, now known as Dragonscar, was a wealthy city whose prideful citizens once painted many of its buildings green and blue to match the flag of Taldor. It is now an ash-encrusted ruin charred by both volcanic and draconic flame.12

Geography

Dragonscar is located in the southern reaches of Krearis Prefecture in Taldor, amongst the foothills of the World's Edge Mountains and near the volcano Blackpeak. The town of Dalaston is near enough to Dragonscar that its residents can never truly put it from their minds.1

History

In 4486 AR3 the volcanic mountain Blackpeak erupted, spilling lava and ash all over the city and awakening the red dragon Horranath. Molten rock, poisonous fumes, and Horranath's fury wiped out the city's population, and the dragon returned to torch any buildings still standing.4

Inhabitants

Dragonscar remains a desolate, ash-encrusted wasteland where Horranath still dwells.1

The ruins' proximity to Blackpeak creates natural hazards for any willing to enter them. Vents spewing gaseous exhaust from superheated rock near the surface opened after the eruption, and Fungi,3 oozes,5 and slimes of various types thrive in the unstable climate.3

While returning vermin and rock lizards might be resilient leftovers from before the eruption, the city is also now inhabited by necropyres, undead spirits of the city's former inhabitants forever burning as they wander the city. A few stubborn wyverns also roost in the ruins' towers and other high points.5
