Southrock

Southrock is an abandoned city on the Skitter Coast, on the western side of ''Valordawn Bay. ''It served as the capital of the Kingdom of Marleboche, previously ruled over by King Tyrenas (The_Big_Kaz_M). The town took its name from the large sea stack off the coast, upon which Southrock Keep was constructed. The majority of the town sits across the narrow channel, situated atop the high cliffs and along the slopes.

History
The people who would become known as the "sea elves" originated from far to the south - from shores across the Fringe Sea. They were lead by their future king, Tyrenas, on an exodus across the waves in search of a new, prosperous home to settle; their original homeland have been befallen by a disaster recorded only as The Red Peril. After a great and lengthy journey, the elves came upon the future site of the city, taking shelter on the "South Rock". It did not take long for the sea elves to establish a growing settlement, producing crops in their unique hanging gardens. The future of Southrock however was not ensured until the arrival of an unlikely ally - the kobolds. These small but strong creatures came to the aide of the sea elves, helping them dig out valuable resources and teaching them the art of brewing. Tyrenas asked the kobolds to stay, establishing their warrens within the cliffs beneath the city. Since then, the kingdom and city have taking great strides to establish friendly relations with the other towns and races. The largest challenge to Southrock's growth was during the reign of Stumor the Mad, a dwarven noble originally of the hold of Rockscoured who went on to take the throne of Erebor. Two brief but fierce conflicts helped to establish Southrock as willing and able to defend itself from outside aggressors. Following the brief Erebor War, the dwarven city under the mountain briefly became an elven vassal but was shortly released when a new king came of age to sit upon the throne.

Southrock was subsequently abandoned by the Sea Elves after Dagoth decided to take away player agency and dish out arbitrary bans for no reason other than his own inability to run a server.
