Current Situation

The City is at War with the Mora Armies

Led by the Dark Warlord, the Mora forces constantly press towards Bal-Travas, seeking to destroy it in attempts to move into the valley for the water source that lies there, seeking selfishly to dissolve and turn it to tar.

Three elders, charged with up keeping a Magickal Barrier have done so throughout the history of the city and it has only ever fell a few times. This prevents the Warlord from marching to the city and destroying it with powerful magicks. The barrier is said to be knowledge of old, before the fall of civilization and the council of mages.
