GameSpy: Give us the backstory to Takish-Hiz.

Alan VanCouvering: A piece of the legendary ancient homeland of all of Antonica's elves is buried beneath the sands of the Desert of Ro. In it, a race of geomancers has struggled through the centuries to rebuild their doomed city, turning the sands that seek to smother them into buildings and new bodies. With tireless dedication they protect the sanctity of their city, striking at any intruder no matter how innocent or noble the motivation.

In an earlier age, endless aisles of marble stood cool in the shadows of the great Elddar Forest. Now all that remains is a lifeless sea of sand and stone. Beneath these sun scorched reminders rests a piece of time forgotten even by the god which set the condemning sands in motion. No longer living, yet unable to forget, something vengeful is moving beneath the desert of Ro. If you venture into this realm of cursed memories, will you survive to tell their story?
