Once known as the [[City of Carousal]] and now known as the [[City of Curses]], Harrack Unarth was once a [[city]] in ancient [[Bael Turath]] (of the [[[4th Edition]] [[Points of Light]] implied campaign world). It is now a [[ghost town]] that lies in [[ruins]], inhabited only by a few [[monster]]s. It was led to ruin by the decadent excesses imposed on the city by its last [[ruler]]s before damnation, [[Lady Ivania Dreygu]] and [[Vorno Kahnebor]]

==History==
Following the death of the city's previous lord-mayor, Ivania and Torgo made arrangements with the [[emperor]] of Bael Turath for control over thw city. When they assumed control, Ivania and Torgo shifted the city into a more or less perpetual state of [[debauched]] festivities. In private, the pair continued the vile indulgences for which their meddling families had though to suppress. Yet Ivania and Vorno kept not their [[corruption]] to themselves, but rather the pair introduced all sorts of perversions and debaucheries to the other nobility of Harrack Unarth.<ref name="Drag 368 p. 71">[[Dragon #368]], [[Domains of Dread: Sunderheart]] p. 71</ref>

The [[celebration]]s of Harrack Unarth's nobility encouraged delivery of exotic creatures and items into the city, getting the attention of the emperor once more. Ivania and Torgo agreed to the emperor's request to see that the creation of [[the Hellbound]], [[devil]]s fused into the bodies of [[humanoid]]s, and their integration into society. However, the married pair had their own agenda in mind. Placed in close position to devils, Ivana and Vorno hoped to make the best deals with them. In the first of such deals, Ivania and Vorno became eternally [[young]] at the cost of their [[soul]]s, forfeiting them to [[Nephigor]]. Upon their deaths, Ivania and Vorno would be consigned to Hell.<ref name="Drag 368 p. 71">[[Dragon #368]], [[Domains of Dread: Sunderheart]] p. 71</ref>

[[Time]] did not affect Ivania and Vorno in the same way. While Ivania seemed to retain the same [[sadistic]] vibrancy she always head, Vorno became increasingly [[depressed]], [[paranoid]], and removed from everyday life and less able to be cheered up by Ivania's various attempts to forestall his decline. Eventually the pair became alienated from each other. Ivania came to view her husband as ultimately pathetic and boring, Ivania eventually arranged a trap for her husband to end his life once and for all. She [[drugged]] a young girl and left her to be eaten by the irresolute Vorno but also filled her [[blood]] with [[poison]] to kill Vorno when he ate her. Vorno died a horribly messy death reflective of how his life was.<ref name="Drag 368 p. 71">[[Dragon #368]], [[Domains of Dread: Sunderheart]] p. 71</ref>

By the time of Vorno's funeral, Harrack Unarth, now known as the [[City of Carousal]], had become such a [[dangerous]] place, the nobility followed by general [[trade]] began to leave the city. When a mass outbreak of [[deformity|deformities]] struck the born, this was taken as a sign that the city had become [[cursed]]. During [[winter]], a huge [[blizzard]] enveloped Harrack Unarth for a considerable time. When the blizzard parted, leaving the city empty to outside observers, its previous inhabitants drawn into the Shadowfell.<ref name="Drag 368 p. 72-73">[[Dragon #368]], [[Domains of Dread: Sunderheart]] p. 72-73</ref>

Following the blizzard, no [[corpse|dead bodies]] were found, but those who would seek to profit (looters or plunderers) found the place (and anything taken from it) were horrifically [[cursed]]. Moreover, even those families who had fled the city beforehand bore their own [[curse]]a. Henceforth, the city was [[abandoned]] as the City of Curses.
