Zar'Thuun was the first and greatest city of the Swikedom Kingdom. Riled by House Rhazmyr, the entire city was notable for being constructed within the skeleton of a massive purple worm. Even though the seven regions of Swikedom share power equally, many consider Zar’Thuun to be the capital of Swikedom due to it being the home of the Ashen table, the conclave and meeting place of the seven Shehad houses.

While the city was founded by dragonkin, they weren’t its first inhabitants. Long ago a titanic purple worm had died along the hillside, coiling around its slopes. As its body rotted away, its remaining scales and bones became shelter for many traveling through the region. The carcass was discovered by a family of Changlings fleeing the Fey Front who would claim the hill and the corpse atop it as their home. Upon arriving they beseeched the local spirits for protection, who in response created a freshwater spring at the base of the mountain.

Decades later, a tribe of dragonkin escaping the carnage of the Amputer Front would arrive at the mountain and form a pact with the Changling family, joining the two groups together and founding the city of Zar’Thuun.
