Vash'eth

Vash'eth was one of the greatest cities to grace Creation, and also the very first. Located near a nexus of magic that slowly siphoned off energy from the elemental gods Kross, Harika, and Tai, Vash'eth was a paradise for mages. Its unique location brought in many followers of Vash, including the mighty dragons who were drawn to this wellspring of power.

In time, Vash'eth would become the heart of an empire stretching across much of Vasheroth. Its glimmering spires reached up to the heavens, and the watchful eyes of the dragonlords maintained order and safety for its inhabitants. Colonies and sister cities sprang up to provide Vash'eth with additional resources. Mages sallied forth and attempted to tame small portions of the wilderness that surrounded their fair city. For a time, Vash'eth stood as a testament to mortal perseverance, as well as to the generosity of Vash.

However, the anger of Kross, Harika, and Tai did not subside with the creation of this city, and they intended to make war against Vash and his followers if they did not intend on destroying the nexus. Assaulted from the outside during the War of the Three, Vash'eth also began to succumb to corruption brought upon it by Nital's influences. In its dying days, Vash'eth was plagued by mysterious disappearances, the wailing of wounded soldiers brought back from battle, and violence in the streets as lesser mortals began to challenge the authority of the dragonlords. Finally, Vash'eth was torn asunder by the unfettered gaze of Tai and hurled into the sea by Harika.
