The History of Iron Lake.

The History of Iron lake.

Nellia sort, in the years before her darkening, a place away from the ocean. She yearned for places of still water, where at times it would snow and few violent waves threatened her work. Taking one of her ships, she travelled far up the river Arasee and she came swiftly to the lands of the Alpans. She beseeched Auradan and he created a vast bowl in the river and rose an Island within. From the north, Nellia called a great flood, and the bowl was filled, forming a lake around the Isle of the stars.
There Nellia built a city out of fair grey stone. It had many towers and great domed cathedrals, and she was content to spend winter within its walls. There she would marry and there would her husband die.
When Nellia darkened, she used the Island to launch her wars and so in the final battle of the first Iloven wars, the island was taken by Livinya, wielder of the ring of fire and using his power of crafting, he turned the city into a fortress and renamed it Iron lake.
The city featured greatly in the wars that followed and it was there that Livinya presented Hador of the Romana people, the ring of the fire before he went to end Nellia’s plots. There Bor protected Hador’s body as the hordes Nellia’s forces assaulted and it passed to the control of the Romana people in the years that followed and it became the Isle of guard, chief city and fortress in their wars against Harka the necromancer.

Of the Colossi of the Isle of stars.

Stood on the river, south of Iron lake, legs spread, and arms lifted to the sea of heaven was the colossus of Neldivine. A great statue carved in the likeness of Nellia before her corruption. The wind blowing up from the sea, seemed not to have touched it and her beauty was plain to see. Neldivine, wonder of the ancient world.
To the north stood Livdavine, built by Auradan after Nellia had moved to her fortress in the mountains of ice. In the likeness of Livnya it stood, as he was ever her chief foe. His tall frame stood in defence of the southern land and his sword was stretched towards Inargiel. In later years, his image faded, being ever beaten and eroded by the vicious wind from the north.
