Irongate Keep still remained, too large to crumble away in the winds of time..  Seldom under the complete control of any one group for long, petty robber barons often held a portion of the keep against others - even others who held other portions of the Keep itself.  All that changed during the Moonfall.A terrible celestial tragedy shattered the moon, and fragments showered the lands of the former Tharian Empire.  Strange energies were released as well as unearthly elements fell from the sky.  What was once a political and social wasteland became an actual wasteland, with the Ruins of Irongate Keep at its heart.  Deep beneth the ruins, dark things still dwell behind failing protections, both magical and mundane.  The surrounding lands became known as "The Blasted Lands", areas where people feared to tread due to the hulking insectoid aberations that stalked the barren land.</blockquote>
