During the days of the Hybernian empire, the imperials on Xu, together with the Kathai, pledged an oath to protect the races of the light against the horrors of the Black Jungle. Soon thereafter, countless forts were constructed across the Darkwind Mountains, keeping wicked creatures at bay, and securing a relative peace on Xu. However, the passage of time caused the oath to be forgotten, and without it, the once impregnable defences fell into ruin.

The keeps still stand atop the mountains, but they are but a pale shadow of their former glory. Creatures native to Xu have since made it their home, prospering amongst the corroded, moss-covered walls. But there is hope yet. Under the rule of empress Alyah, the oath had once again been renewed, and some defences manned. They are a long way off from the days of yore, but at least the people of this region may sleep soundly knowing that the border to Zarach's lands, where the gods have no power, is once again protected.
