The History of Last Stand

Last Stand has been a pivotal place in history. It was here that Peter and his friends began their arm which eventually conquered all of Tridon.  It was here the Chosen fought against the forces of Shaniko.  It was also here the High King's Sword helped the future High King with their deeds.

Last Stand was made by humans trying to make a stand by ogres, then over run by ogres before Peter liberated it.  It remained in the hands of the Knights of Tridon until the time of the Chosen when Shaniko and his forces over took it.  For a time after the Chosen won, the Knights once again held the city, but by the time of the High King's Sword the city was firmly under the sway of the Black Wizards of Shaniko.

Last Stand is now a huge city, as large as the western House cities, and has a huge market. Traders from all over on the east side, the dwarven islands and even the Empire come here to trade.  Though Tridon doesn't want trade from the Black Wizards, there are western merchants who will come to Last Stand to get goods which can not be found in the west.

At the moment the Wizards rule the city, with the Black Wizard Marius in charge.  Things fairly normally here, just lots more ogres and skiegs in the city then one would find anywhere else.
