Bell in the Depths

History of the Bell in the Depths

One of the great mysterious site in the moonsea area, the Bell in the Depths, is connected with lengendary North Keep, an island Kingdom that was the first great citidel of human kind in those cold lands. North keep was a great and magical city, and it was under the protection of those magics that humanity began to press back the orc hords and take command of the sea.

The power of north keep made it an obvious target for orcs, giants, and other evil races. However, these creaturs were not inclined tword sea action, untill the day when (according to ledgend) 40,000 inhuman mages, shamans, witch doctors, and priests of all foul races gathered on the northern shore of the moonsea, and began to chant, bringing the vengence of their gods down upon the human interlopers. Their gods (at least some of them) came and destroyed their priests for disturbing them, but also sank northkeep beneath the waves.

The upper reaches of north keep - it's slender, now-broken spires- can be seen beneath the water by boats that sale near by. This is not attempted often, as the region is said to be haunted by the original defenders of northkeep, Seeking company in their watch over the Cold Lands. On fog-ridden nights the bells of the tallest towers, despite being submerged, can be heard as far away as hills far away as hillsfar. Moonsea
