	~~Backstory recalled for consultation~~.		The Carinthian Redoubts are a series of underdark strongholds built by the old Carinthian Empire during the cataclysmic final years of the Necromatic War. As the Empire's surface holdings were conquered or laid to waste by the clash of Imperial and Necromancer Sorcery, the remnants of the Imperial Army and a portion of the population sealed themselves away in the Redoubts. Although aware of the defeat of the Necromancers, the Redoubts have only recently begun to venture back to the haunted surface above them.

	===The Necromantic ~~Wars~~===		===The Necromantic War===
	<br>		<br>
			Although the Necromantic War had been raging across the known world for several years, the sudden arrival of a vast Necromancer host on the borders of Carinthia came as an unpleasant surprise to Emperor Ferdinand I and his advisers. In their arrogance, Carinthia's leaders had dismissed even the possibility that the Necromancers would dare challenge their vast armies. The first battles of the war revealed that the the Necromantic armies, fueled by the power of the Chaos Node, were more than a match for the Imperial Army. Ferdinand himself was killed as his troops were driven back across the Carinthian Plain before regrouping and mounting a fierce and stubborn defense. <br>

			The invading necromancers were amongst the most extreme of the various factions in the greater necromantic armies, and they were more than willing to fight the Carinthians with every horror they could unleash. Plague ravaged the land as the dead rose to do battle with the beleaguered survivors. Entire towns and cities were lost, their dead populations marching into battle as the Imperial Army stubbornly continued to fight on. Ferdinand's son, now Emperor Conrad III, proved to be an exceptionally capable general and under his leadership the advance of the necromancers further into Carinthia was for a time checked. <br>

			It seemed however, that final victory remained an impossibility. As the war dragged on for year after apocalyptic year with no end in sight it was very much apparent to the Emperor and his advisors that in the end, their nation faced extinction. While on the defensive and behind its fortifications the Imperial Army held its ground, there was no way to take to the offensive against the seemingly limitless arcane powers and undead armies of the necromancers. As Carinthia's last cities came under assault, the Empire began work on a final desperate project. In the foothills of the great northern mountains, Carinthian engineers and mages hastily began the work of converting a series of old mines and scarcely remembered underground passageways into a final refuge for their nation's surviving population.<br>

			Even as cataclysmic magical forces left Carinthia's former surface domains ruined and warped beyond recognition, five underground redoubts were completed. Most of the remaining forces of the Imperial Army along with many war scarred refugees disappeared into the underground. The last messages sent by the Carinthians to the Alliance of Light reported that the Necromancers had laid siege to these last strongholds. Lack of further communications left the rest of the world to believe that Carinthia had at last been overrun and destroyed entirely, save for a few scattered bands of survivors wandering through the cursed borderlands of their devastated nation. While the Alliance was eventually successful in its efforts to defeat the Necromancers, the Carinthian Empire had ceased to exist and was for many years believed to be extinct. The occasional rumor of survivors still lurking in the underdark was not of any particular importance in a world preoccupied with the task of rebuilding from the horrors of the war.

			But while the rest of the world moved on, three of the five original Carinthian Redoubts had survived. Sealed away deep underground, protected from the poisoned and cursed surface they had abandoned, they thrived. As the long decades passed the Redoubts grew from refugee camps and ramshackle barracks into thriving towns the equal of any that had been abandoned on the surface. But the inhabitants of the Redoubts never forgot that they had been driven from the surface, and the surviving Scheyrens never forgot the once sprawling empire their ancestors had built.

			Now, nearly a hundred years after the Redoubts sealed themselves away, the first Carinthian soldiers and battle machines have begun to venture out from their underground strongholds to explore the still dangerous lands lost by their ancestors.

	The Carinthian Empire encompasses all of the territories acquired by the House of Scheyern over the three centuries that have passed since Conrad Scheyern and his allies ousted the Alfar and their legions from Kyrenia Province. While originally a rapidly rising power, the Empire was devastated during the Necromantic Wars and to this day has not fully recovered.		Backstory recalled for consultation.

While on the defensive and behind its fortifications the Imperial Army hold its ground, there was no way to take to the offensive against the seemingly limitless arcane powers and undead armies of the necromancers. As Carinthia's soldiers grimly prepared to fight to the last, however, the situation changed.<br>

	Twenty three years after the initial invasion, Carinthia stood on the edge of defeat only to find that the final blow never came. Patrols roaming the countryside and scouts into occupied territory reported that the number of undead seemed to be decreasing, as if the power that had fueled the invasion had begun to run out. Several more years of hard fighting would follow as the Imperial Army marched back into the field in force and began to purge the land of the invaders. Hardened soldiers who had grown up in an age of horrors took hold of the opportunity for revenge and drove the necromancers from every ruined city and stronghold they could find hint of them at. <br>

	It became increasingly apparent as enemy papers were captured by the advancing Carinthians that the conquest of their land had not even been the objective of the invaders. The necromancers had come in search of the lost relics of the Kyrenian Sorcerer-Kings, buried for five thousand years beneath the ground in forgotten ruined cities and sealed tombs. If they had succeeded, there was no indication of it found by the Imperial Army, although as they marched on through the dead countryside rumors persisted of worse things than the necromancers and their undead minions lurking in the forests. <br>

	Although the war had been won, the price had been staggering. Nearly thirty years of war had left Carinthia in ruins with much of its population slain or starved. The peaceful and prosperous land before the war had been destroyed utterly and in its place was a kingdom of the dead, its haunted lands and ruined towns largely empty. The remnants of the necromantic army still lurked in remote places and the monstrosities they left behind were a constant danger outside the walls of the cities. The task of rebuilding was one that would take generations, and is scarcely complete even eighty years later.<br>

	Early in the reign of the current Emperor, Ferdinand II, it had seemed that the peace and prosperity from before the war had finally returned. But as he has aged the shadows have seemingly closed back in around Carinthia. Rumors abound that the Emperor and his realm are cursed, and Ferdinand has taken ill it seems likely that further hardships are ahead for an already damaged land. <br>
