History
The Fortress of Wyrdgate was built to guard against invasion from the wild lands of the east, by the Lord Knight of Wyrdgate.
But against the advice of his wife and counselors, he built the keep on a site haunted by dark spirits.
Since then, the keep has been plagued by ill omens, disasters, plague, and worse.
Cataclysm
When the fiery mountain struck Istar, the land around the tower fell away, leaving it standing on a pillar of rock and surrounded by a bottomless chasm. Abandoned by the knights, it has become known as the Last Tower.
Wyrdgate’s location is a place of darkness closely tied to the Plane of Shadow. As such, it became a natural choice for one of the portals to Bastion, at least in the minds of the Black Robes. Mysterious obelisks were erected around the edge of the chasm, presumably to aid in arcane rites.
Age of Mortals
During the Chaos War, daemon warriors and shadow wights seized it.
