==History==
===Second Era===
After the devastating loss at the Battle of Markwasten Moor, King Ranser of Shornhelm gathered what little of his militia was left and traveled to a nameless tor that overlooked the destroyed city of Shornhelm. It was here Ranser decided to take drastic measures, by trying to turn his own soldiers into immortal warriors. The Orcish warriors continued to attack the Shornhelm warriors as Ranser started the ritual. But he was killed by General Dathieu, his loyal general, it triggered the ritual and turned everyone into undead warriors, standing at Ranser's side forever. Instead of pursuing the Daggerfall Covenant and High King Emeric, Ranser ordered his men to hold their position and defend the tor. Time eventually flew and the tor would be named Traitor's Tor.The True Fate of King Ranser
During the Interregnum in 2E 582, Scholar Cantier of Shornhelm traveled to Traitor's Tor, attempting to learn everything about Ranser's final bout. Cantier gained the help of a traveler who encountered the skull of General Dathieu, who would then show the traveler visions of the past, that led to Ranser's demise. With the information, the traveler gathered the bones of Dathieu and it resurrects both Dathieu and Ranser. In the end, Ranser was ultimately defeated and the spirits at Traitor's Tor were able to ascend into Aetherius. From that day on, Ranser's fate was told throughout Rivenspire and Traitor's Tor remained utterly abandoned.Events in "A Traitor's Tale"
