Hrornskar began as a temple dedicated to Thyrm. Near Adrglof, a holy site of Thyrm, Hrornskar grew from pilgrims needing lodge, company, food and stiff drink.
As conflict grew with the fiery folk of Hofthorm (145 HE - 101), the Temple of Hrornskar became a citadel, the heart of Thyrm's Ice Cap Sect, and then capital of the Glangveif Monarchy.
With the fall of the Glangveif Monarchy (314 HE - 31), the conquerors went to work depopulating the old capital, leaving it a haven for beasts, monsters and bandits.
In 1494, the Orchish Empire began the rebuilding of Glangveif's ancient capital, making it the cornerstone of a defense facing three potential hostiles, the Khazarkar Empire from the northeast, Forstneblin raiders out of Quellestir and sometimes Jara war bands from beyond the Arinthil Forest.
In the Core Offensive (1749 - 1760), a canal was built from lake Virgath to the Mazgob swamp. A supply depot, and billeting for many workers, Hrornskar became an important lake port. Today, it is an even busier port for ships destined for the Core Sea.
