A small, but virulent swamp in the center of Badlands, that was once populated by a human tribe called the Lodringen. Things changed when Kadon the shaman of the Lodringen tribe and son of the chieftain found Nagash's Crown of Sorcery in the hands of the corpse of Alcadizaar when it washed up on the shore of a river. The crown instantly filled his mind with knowledge, and he used his newfound necromantic powers to reanimate the corpses of the dead to serve the living. A massive tomb was then built for the body of Alcadizaar which also doubled as Kadon's palace and a place of burial for the Lodringen. Kadon then built a city around the tomb naming it Mourkhain (or Morgheim as its known in the Empire) which in the native language meant the place of death and the people began to worship Nagash. Afterward, he used his new knowledge of Necromancy and the covert assistance of the vampire Ushoran to carve a small empire out of the badlands called Strygos and made Mourkhain its capital.
