	The subterranean world beneath Dar Azur is made up of a large underground cave system of closely interlaced passageways, which once fed the fortress's supply lines. Such chambers were filled with an incredible diversity of plants and fungi grown in the meticulous manner and ingenuity of denuran craftsmanship. The yield from these caves sustained not only Dar Azur but entire nations, earning the fortress its reputation as the Tavern of the East. It is rumoured that in the deepest depths of the labyrinth lies a Monolith, an ancient relic said to emit a soft, otherworldly glow, telling tales from long before the founding of Arduan. Today, this vital heart has been corrupted. Void-infested vines now constrict the chambers, morphing the once-versatile former agricultural plant into grotesque shadows of their former selves.

	Dar Azur at its peak, was a spectacular elegant fortress, one of the most famous establishments in the whole country, the Tavern of the East. Its multitude of mushrooms and cave-grown vegetation supported the entire High Kingdom, providing a life-sustaining lifeline. Nevertheless, it was Dar Azur's powerful army that was unique. The fortress was claimed by Kalan Whitebeard, whose command built the most powerful and toughest infantry in the whole of Eden. Legends also reach back through the ages stories of how entire Giant armies crashed against a wall of whitebeard's men, as if hitting an immovable wall.

	The fortress of Dar Azur and its barren surrounding area were for long time a cursed site to which no one dared to go in. However, a determined band, led by ~~Belgar~~ Whitebeard, took it upon themselves to find out what had really gone wrong. Unconscious of the tragedies which awaited them, they crossed the threshold of the castle, and their spirits fell as they looked upon its ruined and wild chambers. However, the most dreadful sight was their own kin, the Denur, lying half-decayed in strange, lifeless states scattered throughout the ruins. What struck them most was the sight of ~~Belgar’s~~ dead uncle, Bormlan Whitebeard, slumped on the throne of Dar Azur. As the group approached his lifeless body, it began to tremble violently. With a sickening crack, the corpse split open like a walnut, revealing a grotesque, fleshy mass filled with endless mouths and teeth. As the mass convulsed, it coalesced into a swarm of insects that swirled around, taking on a humanoid form. The abomination introduced itself as Zarzareth, the Demon Lord of Decay.

	Mocking the Denur, Zarzareth recounted the twisted fate that had befallen Dar Azur. With cruel glee, he offered the surviving Denur a choice: to join him as his servants. In a moment of defiance, ~~Belgar~~ raised his axe, swearing to bring Zarzareth down. Knowing they were not yet strong enough, the group fled, slashing their way through hordes of Zarzareth’s latest twisted creations. As they escaped, they could still hear the demon lord’s sinister laughter echoing in the distance. From afar, they watched in horror as black clouds of plague-ravens emerged from the cave, spreading out in all directions, a harbinger of further doom to come.

	All of that changed when the Mor-Hormung happened and the Denur society collapsed. But even before the disaster Dar Azur had already lost a lot of its former glory. Due to the constant need of food, the fields became exhausted and the Denur had to delve lower and lower in search of new mushroom caves. This food shortage combined with the rejection of Deonach led the scholars of the time to discover and develop a new species of plants. These red plants can still be seen today, for they cover the entirety of Dar Azur. Choking the once proud halls of all life.

	The most notable feature of Dar Azur is its plantlife, which is immediately noticeable once you step inside. Thick clouds of red spores hang in the air, clogging your breath. The culprit of this infestation are the numerous mushrooms that are covering the ground, as well as the vines that hang on all the ceilings. Even red trees have sprouted up in these ancient halls. But despite this outbreak the hold itself is in very good condition, the large entrance, the throne room and the famous feast hall are all still intact, waiting for explorers.

	== Introduction ==		== Introduction ==
			Once the halls of Dar Azur were filled with the sounds of laughter, the clinking of glasses and music of many religious ceremonies. Outside lay the lush fields where farmers toiled away, inside its lower caverns were overgrown with nutritious mushrooms. Nowadays the vast halls are empty, but not barren. For strange plants and mushrooms have taken over the entire Denur hold. But these are no ordinary plants, their red spores fill the air, making the air difficult to breathe.

			The ruins of Dar Azur resided within the eastern mountains. Located south of the Aerial, and north of Mitrona, it borders the great forest. As with all Denur homes it tunnels deep into the mountain.

			== What it is in Present time: ==
			The most notable feature of Dar Azur is its plantlife, which is immediately noticeable once you step inside. Thick clouds of red spores hang in the air, clogging your breath. The culprit of this infestation are the numerous mushrooms that are covering the ground, as well as the vines that hang on all the ceilings. Even red trees have sprouted up in these ancient halls. But despite this outbreak the hold itself is in very good condition, the large entrance, the throne room and the famous feast hall are all still intact, waiting for explorers.

			== History: ==
			[[File:Dar Azur Throneroom1.png\|thumb\|Dar Azur entrance.]]
			Dar Azur was one of the greater Denur holds, due to the climate and the many caves filled with mushrooms, it soon became the producer of food for all of the old Denur holds. But food was not its only purpose, it was also the place where new kings were crowned and many other important ceremonies were held. The great feast hall also remains intact and it was there that many of the most lavish festivals were celebrated, giving rise to its nickname of the “feast capital”. Because of the relative short destinace to both Aerial and Mitrona, Dar Azur was also more welcoming of foreigners than most other Denur holds.

			All of that changed when the Mor-Hormung happened and the Denur society collapsed. But even before the disaster Dar Azur had already lost a lot of its former glory. Due to the constant need of food, the fields became exhausted and the Denur had to delve lower and lower in search of new mushroom caves. This food shortage combined with the rejection of Deonach led the scholars of the time to discover and develop a new species of plants. These red plants can still be seen today, for they cover the entirety of Dar Azur. Choking the once proud halls of all life.
