The Fallen Kingdom of Archmoor is a location in the Travescot campaign, visited multiple times by the party.
== History ==
=== The Fall of Archmoor ===
Archmoor was once a bustling kingdom in a state of well-being similar to that of the Gilded Lands, but slowly began to decline over time thanks to overgrowth from the local flora and attacks from the local fauna plaguing the civilians. After some time, the Risen had come down to save his people. His power was of great value to the people, so Lord Archmoor tasked one of his high wizards with siphoning the Risen's power. It worked, and the Risen was converted into an orb of pure chaotic energy. After this, Archmoor attempted to use the Risen's power himself to save his kingdom, but this backfired due to the Risen's apparent residual sentience, and, angry with his believers, the Risen created an energy blast that wiped all sentient life from the kingdom, killing them instantly, and later resurrecting them as his undead army after they had been torn apart by the wildlife, with the undead Archmoor serving as his general. This wasted the last of the Risen's remaining sentience, so he became nothing more than a magical relic.
=== Atlas' Return ===
At some point before the events of the Travescot campaign, Atlas, a former denizen of Archmoor, returned to his former stomping grounds in horror of what had happened. Fending off the undead in as non-lethal of ways as possible, Atlas put up many protective cleansing glyphs around the kingdom to finally lay the undead to rest. This worked, and peace was restored. Atlas remained in Archmoor ever since, serving as an observer and preserver of what was lost.
=== Travescot Campaign ===
During the events of the Travescot campaign, the party was tasked by Father Aurelius to retrieve a "magical relic", not knowing until they got there that it was the Risen's orb. The party convened with Atlas, trying to learn more about the city and what happened, and he told them all he knew. Entering the castle, the party broke all of Atlas' glyphs, much to his horror, and the undead curse rose once again. Once inside the castle, the party found Archmoor's body with the orb, and attempted to take it, reigniting Archmoor's soul as a protector for his master. Once Archmoor was laid to rest once more, the party took the orb out of Archmoor, returning it to Father Aurelius in the Gilded Lands.
Later on, the party returned to Archmoor to slay a wyvern that had taken residence on top of the castle, but later tamed it.
