Bael Grindom

Bael Grindom
Before the rise of Rhestilor, while the dwarfs of the west still wore the chains of Giants, the Tiefling Kingdom of Bael Turathi spread as a blight across the east. Rumored to have the power of Devils behind them, the warlocks of Bael Turathi subjugated the eastern Vale under their rule. It was when they attempted to spread eastward beyond the Vale that Bael Turathi finaly found a force to stop it. The Empire of Dragons is today considered to be nothing but myth, distant as they are from the Vale; seperated by arid wastelands. But those of Bael Turathi will attest otherwise, for those arid wastelands are the remains of their once mighty kingdom.

Bael Grindam stands as one of the few remaining cities of the Bael Turathi kingdom. Though ancient and worn the city neverless houses one of the most prestigious Arcane Academies in the Vale. Enrollment in the Academy is restricted to Tieflings, though exceptions have been made given the right price. The Masters of the Academy are chosen from among the most powerful wizards of the Tiefling populace, for a price was exacted by the Empire in its defeat of Bael Turathi; no warlocks shall ever again arise from the ranks of Tieflings to hold sway over the remains of the kingdom. The Masters also comprise the governing body of the remaining Kingdom.
