During the days of the Hybernian Empire, there was perhaps no city on Eo to match the greatness of Ankbrand. As one of the first cities built by Humans after they descended down from the Windwall, it not only developed quickly but was also placed deep inside of Nortander's borders, which possibly lead to Chlerus the Blessed - the founder of the Empire and its first ruler - to choose it as their seat.
The last known person to rule from there was the last Queen of Nortander, Ayelith, however; time and war took their toll, and after kingship was abandoned in Nortander shortly after the Circle was established, the once-great city fell into ruin.
The area is now occupied by small human villages, orcs, and various hostile creatures.
