The Barrier

The Barrier is a great desert located east of the Cloudspine Mountains. Formally called The Downs, the region was once a human settlement of the Cath Bruig Empire before it was razed and blighted by Balor. Muirthemne was destroyed by the Dark forces, turning it into an arid desert devoid of most life. During the Great War, Alric was tricked by the Head to search the eastern part of the Barrier for a suppose armor of invulnerable, leading to his capture by the Deceiver. On November 19, 2480 AE, Alric was rescued by the Five Champions and they all made their escape out of the desert.
