   Ah, Euthville - "City of the Pearl", in Old Hemdalite, has indeed a rather sad story!!
  
- If you went there about half a millenia ago, you'd have seen something very different than the field of haunted ruins it has since become.  It was initially founded by a handful of industrious, clever dwarves, that had found a mystical way to locate fields of precious Karitta, the famous metal that is as transparent as a pearl of the North Sea, yet as strong as the best irons of Navar.

It was initially founded by a handful of industrious, clever [[races:dwarves]], that had found a mystical way to locate fields of precious Karitta, the famous metal that is as transparent as a pearl of the North Sea, yet as strong as the best irons of [[Navar]].
  
- And thus, they found at the location of Euthville a lot of that raw metal, which quickly made the city one of the richest of all. And for a long time, it stayed so. The inhabitants of Euthville weren't interested by war, work, or anything else too tiresome - they preffered to pay somebody else to do all of this. And with the advanced technical knowledge bring by the dwarves, working was less and less an issue for them.

  Yet yhey were facing a problem. All their devices, all their machineries, all their tricks to cheat with nature required energy. Lots of energy. They relied first on the strength of horses and donkeys, but it wasn't enough. Then, they tamed the dangerous Wyverns of Kal-Durandasi, so that the hot lizards would provide them with the full force of their steamy breath. But soon, it wasn't enough. They also used the hidden power provided by the Faeries of the Tarniska river, building a dam, so that they could put the invisible horses of water that the sylphids are rumored to breed in use. 
  
- But even so, their hunger for power wasn't satisfied, and became an increasing nuisance for them. So, the Commander of Euthville (which was, more or less, the equivalent to our King at Scorn), finally decided to send messengers across the whole Continent, calling the world for a challenge. Whoever would be able to fullfill the needs of Euthvillians of energy would become the new Commander, thus the ruler of the richest city ever built since Khelens.

  Many answered the call, of course, and many failed. Wind, Sun, Stars, even dwarven beer were proposed, but nothing seemed to be enough. For years, wizards tried. And failed. 
  
  And then came a boy. He wasn't a wizard, nor pretended to be one. He was young, but the story didn't kept the record of his name, and some now think it is because he was damned. Who knows? The Boy sat in the middle of the city, playing with his flute, laughing whenever he saw one of the demonstrations the powerful wizards and engineers failing again and again.
