Lore
It was here that House Rune learned more about the Deadspell Storm and discovered new uses for minerals such as levium, ankhstone and vitridur . Other Houses sponsored the experiments of House Rune, most notably House Silver, which sold House Rune’s research as new products. However, the Ancestral Forge was closed down by the Enclave Council in 984 AC due to an accident. The resulting explosion killed a number of people and it was then that the Enclave realized having such a dangerous place right in their middle class housing district wasn’t the best of ideas.
It all proved useless. Ten years later in 994 AC, the Arcane Surge wreaked havoc in the lush Green District. The Arcane Surge was a blast of rogue magic that shot forth from the Citadel of Ail and destroyed everything in its path killing hundreds. But it was the aftermath that proved even more deadly. The explosion deposited Arcane Infused Ore Residue – also known as AIOR – all over Green District, causing the first signs of the Tempest Disease to emerge.
This disease corrupted and changed the chemistry of the brain of any living being, may they be human, daevi or animal and warped them into twisted combinations of creature and AIOR. Those poor souls were robbed of their sanity, and would attack anything not infected on sight. The people corrupted by the Tempest Disease were later referred to as the Shunned.
Subsequent to the Arcane Surge, the Green District was locked down to prevent any spreading of the infection, shutting off salvation for many restless souls, but with it also the true reason of why the Arcane Surge occured in the first place…
It was this disaster that caused the Enclave to found the Enclave Militia and Hawk’s Eye Academy, drafting people through conscription to ensure the Enclave would be ready for any and all disasters. House Rune has used Rune High House as their main university ever since, though there is the newly founded Citizen’s College in Quarterstone’s Fountain District as compensation.
Gameplay The Citadel of Ail – Fame level 30-35
The Citadel of Ail’s main building is four stories high and was used, in order, as living quarters, administration, debate and leadership and as an observatory and repository for artifacts, rare items and relics.
Creatures and NPC’s within the Citadel are all warped and mutated due to prolonged exposure to the Arcane Infused Ore Residue (AIOR).
When players enter, they set foot in a large hall that has carpets and polished stone. On both sides, double doors bar the way, and the only way to transgress is by taking the main hallway door straight on.
The main hallway has a series of rooms connected to it; and halfway through players can enter the administration offices or archives. Administrator Becks awaits adventurers there.
Players can continue their journey around the rubble and take the stairs to the living quarters. Here they will have to find their way through the rooms to the main stairway leading up to the debate circle. The stairs to the Debate Circle are guarded by two mutated creatures. 
These creatures are mutated dogs that were once pets to the inhabitants of the citadel: Pooch and Tack.
After defeating them, players can enter the Debate Circle. This was used by the citadel scholars to dictate their ruling. It has a few mutated humanoid mobs and near the double doors to the repository stands Supreme Chancellor Amsell, the final boss of the Citadel of Ail.
