Ghröum

Ghröum map.

From the days of the City of Light, a story is told of creatures who visited our ancestors. Where they came from, no one seems to know. They appeared as monsters, for they had huge bodies that were almost twice the size of a man, they were naked, and it was said that their skin was gray and scaly. Where ever they had come from, they could not return. They were called the Ghröum, and they were granted this territory along the coast of the Sea of Infinity. It is said that they lived in great cliff dwellings along the seacoast, and it came to be called the Kingdom of Ghröum after them.

“When the plague began, they remained in their kingdom. Then, during the darkest days of the plague, something terrible occurred that destroyed the Ghröum and their land. No one knows what really happened, but what ever occurred, the Ghröum were annihilated and their kingdom decimated. Today, all that is left is a barren land covered with bare white rock. Nothing grows there, and nothing lives there. Although Ghröum was destroyed, the land – though barren and lifeless – nevertheless remains; therefore it has always been referred to as a kingdom, even though it has no inhabitants. I suspect that our ancestors perpetuated the custom of referring to it as the Kingdom of Ghröum simply as a reference point.”
