Tholm, City of the Arcane

From Aalynor's Nexus

The City of Tholm was once a major center of knowledge, and a major population center in the realm. It was said that not since the University of the Daer'lin had such a vast quantity of knowledge been collected and distilled in one place.

Tholm was destroyed by the Goblin Hordes. All contact from the city cut off for months before news arrived that they were gone. Recent reports tell of a city changed, its magics bent and twisted with a perpetual darkness covering the sky, and undead maruading in the otherwise deserted streets.

Only a handful a refugees have made their way to Nexus so far, and of those, the most notable being Thelia, who at the death of Fariol, assumed the Guildmastership of the Mage's Tower. She had left Tholm only a few short weeks before the final invasion which was its downfall.

The City of Tholm lies in ruins far to the east of Nexus beyond the Emerald River, and across the Great Waste.
