Arwic
Arwic, one of the principal cities on Dereth, is strategicly located on the edge of the Aluvian lands near the Olthoi infested north.
In the early days, Arwic was a busteling center of commerce, with people coming from all over to trade and talk. Portal storms were not so much frequent, as nearly constant. This all changed in the shadow wars, when Arwic was destroyed by a shadow spire. The gaping crater remained unoccupied for years, until the town was rebuilt from the ruins, newer, stronger, and better.
Monster Warning!
Directly NW of the city walls is a crater where one of the shadow spires is burried. This crater contains a large number of highly dangerous high level Mukkir and Shadows. This area is best avoided, except to dash into the Tou-Tou portal.
