History The remainings of the Dark Order army from the old world arrived in this valley as their first step in rebuilding the Order itself. The trollocs established a camp and soon humans, goblins and orcs were captured to work as slaves for the construction of the Dark Citadel. The building of such an enormous thing was quite slow until the Dark Order ally Morac created some 5000 creatures specially designed for workers. A few months later the Citadel was standing around 400 meteres high, its back attached to the mountain itself.No one knows how many catacombs and caves were digged in the mountain and under the Citadel for the sole reason that no one has returned from the Valley of the Shadows...
