Late in the Second Epoch, the Orchish Empire was laying claim to lands near Quellestir. This evergreen vale had long been the home of the Forstneblin. In 1494, against great protest of their neighbors, the High Command ordered the re-settlement of an ancient frost giant hold named Hrornskar. Low-level conflict followed for centuries. It reached its bloodiest in the Core Offensive (1749 - 1760).
Balanosas Navel is a labyrinth a thousand feet under the Quellestir Forest. Built by the Forstneblin, in the Core Offensive is served as a base for those fighting the Orchish Empire.
Balanosas Navel was named after a particularly vicious Forstneblin vampire named Balanosa. For three decades, a time of great blood orgies, she led the vampires of As'lith Zybis. Wicked and brutal, Balanosa repetitively disregarded Kezgihr's Fifth Rule of Survival. Deemed feral by leadership, she was taken back to Drachlaz where she is still imprisoned.
Avoid conflict with your own. Feed on those that the masses don't like or look down upon.
