Editing Warhammer Quest: Cursed City (section)

==History of the City==
The city of Mournhold lain in the middle of the [[Shyish|Realm of Death]], founded by a collection of Azyrite colonists and ruled by three noble houses (Alten, Vossheim, and Gaunt). Although the denizens of the city were a strong and proud folk, the Age of Chaos proved to be the breaking point as the city was ravaged by the Khornate [[Daemon Prince]] Slaughn the Ravenor. Salvation came from a mysterious visitor called Radukar the Wolf. This vampiric marauder and his fleet of [[Ogors|Ogor]] zombies saved Mournhold from ruination, and all he asked for in return was a seat at the noble table...and a few blood sacrifices to sate his thirst. Slowly Radukar made subtle changes to Mournhold during his time in the ruling caste, such as establishing his own cadre of dark followers called the Thirsting Court. It wouldn’t be until the [[Age of Sigmar]] and the nightmarish Necroquake that things really went bad. The entire city fell into darkness and insanity, with the Thirsting Court starting a brutal purging of any “uncooperative” nobility. Mournhold was no more. Now Ulfenkarn (meaning “Wolf’s Feast” in Radukar’s tongue) takes its place; a shadowy hive of vampiric monsters and ghoulish abominations. Now a motley crew consisting of lone wolves, academic heretics, troublemakers, and other pains in the butt of bureaucracy have arrived in the city to finally cleanse Ulfenkarn of its curse.
===Notable Locations===
*'''Corpse-Gardens''': The domain of Gorslav the Gravekeeper, these charnel pits and mausoleums act as a prime recruiting grounds for the various Vampire Lords and Necromancers.
*'''Shadowed Crypt-halls''': Once some kind of vaulted location, now only eerie music and screams of agony can be heard from its depths.
*'''The Clot''': This canal encircles the inner walls of the city, though instead of water it’s now filled with rotting gore.
*'''Ghiestgale''': A large gate that only the Nighthaunt reside within.
*'''Ven Alten Skydocks''': A former Kharadron outpost that served as Mournhold’s center of commerce prior to its fall. It was also co-owned and operated by the ven Alten household, before the majority of the house willingly took the Blood Kiss.
*'''Hangman’s Copse''': This used to be an embassy created by the Sylvaneth, now it’s just a roost for bats.
*'''Vharngate''': The fortified headquarters of the Ulfenwatch, the Deathrattle guardians of the city, who are overseen by Watch Captain Halgrim.
*'''Barrowmark''': This scholarly building was once the home of the Pact Mortalis, a brotherhood of death wizards. When the city was usurped by the vampires, Torgillius the Chamberlain betrayed the Pact and converted Barrowmark into his own twisted laboratory.
*'''The Screaming Spires''': A collection of shabby towers that serve as the roost for the Vyrkos Blood-born, who give the Spires their ‘screaming’ epitaph.
*'''The Ebon Citadel''': The gothic picturesque capital of Ulfenkarn and Radukar the Wolf‘s seat of power. It was built atop the island of Szargorond, with the rest of the city being built around it.
