Valamore

Valamore was once the capital of House Blackwall, a Gilnean noble house.

The island city is quite abundant with resources and hence attracted the Skullhidder Clan, an offshoot group of Shadow Council survivors. After the sundering House Blackwall recruited a group of Scarlet Renegades to aid in the combating the Skullhidders, this included the ex-wife of Berwyn, Arla Dawnsinger.

During the Burning Legion's Third Invasion, Highlord Berwyn Lightstrider discovered how the lord of the keep, Theron Blackwall mistreated his former wife and decided that he would siege the city. He hired a band of pirates and with the help of Theron's abused brother Geralt Blackwall the groups sieged and conquered Valamore. Berwyn gave the land to his daughter as a gift. Out of Geralt's family, there was one other survivor who was a House Blackwall loyalist to the core, Lora Blackwall. When Theradin uncovered information on Velenara and that he had mutual enemies with Lorna and Gorlog (the Skullhidder chieftain) he decided to propose an alliance with the two Valamore groups. Both accepted his offer and the bulk of the Thyrin Cult dedicated itself to sieging Valamore in an attempt to recapture it. To this they were successful during the Blood War. Theradin executed Geralt Blackwall and under Lorna's request he made it quite painful due to his refusal to join the Thyrin Cult. He later raised Geralt as a mindless undead soldier. Many of the surrounding soldiers who witnessed the event submitted to Theradin and joined his cause, Velenara escaped the siege to Theradin's dismay. With Valamore's recapture Lorna Blackwall and Gorlog Skullhidder have made a true divide to the land between the survivors of House Blackwall and the Skullhidder Clan.
