Help on: area hills north of mareldja

In days long gone, when Mareldja was still a small hamlet without walls and without many citizens, the people worked hand in hand with the dwarves of the mountains. But one year a great evil befell the region--crops rotted in the fields, and many starved. The people of Mareldja and the dwarves soon began to bicker about the remaining crops.

The bickering quickly escalated to all-out war. High walls were built around Mareldja, and the dwarves retreated to the depths of the mountains. The favor of the gods fell on the people of Mareldja, and the tide of war swiftly washed over the dwarven army. With most of their people dead, the dwarves took one last desparate act, cursing the fertile fields and hills for all eternity.

Although many have since tried to vanquish the dwarves and lift their awful curse, none have to this day succeeded. The hills remain blackened and barren, and the people of Mareldja are forced to import foodstuffs from Oldgate and beyond.
