Anghol

"Travel to Anghol at your peril, stranger. It's not the place it used to be" - Local Svoldian's warning to Sir Vendell Oskarr.
Anghol is a town and an island in Svoldia. It is east of Naglvarlund, the cultural capital of Svoldia. Anghol was once a prosperous trading town, serving as the major port of the Naglvar Isles. It was attacked by the Queen of the Draug, Astrid Skarlwasten, in the winter of 20.31, and was never repopulated. It is now home to undead, and dark cultists.
=== Astrid's Raid ===
Astrid's attack decimated the population of the town, and those who survived fled. The attack was noted as one of the bloodiest raids ever performed by Svoldian reavers, she wasn't after gold or treasures, just bloody vengeance. 
Previously, when Astrid had briefly been the tyrannical chieftain of Naglvarlund, Anghol had risen against her, backing their champion Grysa Svarhalla. Grysa was the daughter of the previous chieftain, Iohan Svarhalla, whom Astrid had killed.
In retribution for their rebellion, when she returned from death, Astrid made every effort to wipe the town off the map, ensuring it would never be populated again. Through the use of her necromancy and command of the Spiritstorm, she rose an army of Draug to ravage the town. Even after she left, the malign presence of the Spiritstorm remained. Those who died in the attack returned as mindless Draug. Even now, it remains a desolate and corrupted place.
The only beings to be found living in Anghol, other than the undead, are cultists and necromancers. It has seemingly become an extension of the Dark Isles, a place where cultists can convene and perform dark rituals, using the lingering power of the Spiritstorm.
At some point a N'Shari necromancer named Ghongrav, self-titled Chief Ghongrav of Anghol, took residence and began trying to control the Spiritstorm the way that Astrid could.
=== The Quest of Sir Vendell ===
Several attempts have been made to purge the town, however none have committed enough resources or people to have any lasting effect. Most recently, Svoldia's allies in Whytehold sent a group of priests, escorted by knights errant, to consecrate the ground and exorcise any malign spirits. They were lead by Sir Vendell Oskarr, a banneret of the Lightguard. The quest was perilous, and many knights and priests fell to the horde of undead within the town. Sir Vendell himself was able to reach the stronghold of Ghongrav, breach his defense, and fight the vile necromancer. Ghongrav had the power of the Spiritstorm on his side, but it was no match for the knight's sheer determination. Sir Vendell slew the necromancer with a decisive blow, but now bears a lightning scar from the battle. His actions did not free Anghol of its corruption, but it did halt Ghongrav's plans. Upon returning to Whytehold with the few remaining priests and knights, Sir Vendell was promoted to Knight-Commander.
