III. Rhoska-Tor

(50,000 -45,000 years ago)

The Dhe'nar spent 5,000 years living in the barren plains and caverns of Rhoska-Tor. It was during this time that the Dhe'nar learned not only the art of survival, but also honed their arcane skills. The dark essence left behind by the recent demise of the Ur-Daemon not only tainted the appearance and psyche of the Dhe'nar but it also had a powerful effect on the flows of magic in the region. It is said that a Dhe'nar warrior has the soul of a dragon and the hunger of an Ur-Daemon, and there is little doubt this is partially true. The Dhe'nar magi learned to use the dark magics of the region, adding them to their already potent library of spells taught by the Arkati themselves. The art of demon summoning, the control of the undead, and the summoning of the elements into a physical manifestation are but a few of the skills the Dhe'nar learned in their time here. The Dhe'nar knew the power of what they learned and the importance of guarding its secrets. They kept few written records, passing on their knowledge orally. What few records they did keep were not only written in the spidery runes only a true Dhe'nar warlock can read, but also closely guarded by the magi and priests. It is rumored, however, that one tome, The Book of Tormtor, was lost somewhere deep within the caverns of Rhoska-Tor.

After 5,000 years, as was prophesied by Noi'sho'rah, the Dhe'nar left Rhoska-Tor in search of their promised land. They headed south, through the Southron Wastes and into the jungles, where they founded Sharath, which remains home to the Dhe'nar to this day. Tahlad, long the leader of the Dhe'nar, never lived to see the dream become a reality. He died shortly after leaving Rhoska-Tor, however his remains were carried throughout the journey and placed in a crypt in the center of Sharath.
