Judgment Day (The Judgment)

Judgment Day
Judgement Day, otherwise know as The Judgement, occurred on the 23rd day of Thunsheer in the year of 892, by Tal'dorei's reckoning. A star fell from the sky and impacted the edge of the Ironseat Ridge, obliterating it and all its inhabitants. The impact also ended up destroying the entirety of Kymal. However, by some weird magic or because of the catastrophic nature of it's demise, Kymal isn't entirely gone. In it's place is a cruel mockery of what came before. Tall towers of shadow obscure the horizon and denizens of the town still walk the streets in pale reflections of their former lives. Pockets and portals to the Shadow Realm are abundant in this place and it teems with the undead. Shortly after its destruction, the people of Tal'dorei built a barrier around Kymal to keep the undead and shadow realm terrors stuck inside the city. After Judgement Day, what is now known as The Year of Perpetual Ash followed, wreaking havoc upon all Tal'dorei and beyond. When the long year ended on Sunday, the people of Tal'dorei erected a monument for their fallen city and have since given it a fairly wide berth.

Over time, people stopped call it Kymal and now refer to the fallen city and the surrounding areas as Ashfall due to the continuous falling of ash within the confines of the barrier. At first glance, it looks like snow covering the disquieting streets of that shadow city. Only after closer inspection can you see the more sinister nature of the deceptively beautiful scenery.
