Nazada
Nazada was the dark fortress built as the antithesis of Atalan in the year 492 [2:0]. It was destroyed by an assault by the Great King Emanpugnikam in the year 1993 [2:1501]. It is believed that its name originated from the Lunari words "naza" and "da" which together mean "cold city".

Battles
The First Battle of Nazada
| Prophecy |
|---|
| A city shines, great kings arise. One million strong, the battle lose. Fight for glory, die in shame. |
| Dark Prophecy |
|---|
| Affray the overconfident undevout Valor renewed is crushed |
Great King Darthan led the first attack against the dark fortress in 1059 [2:567]. Despite bringing an army which numbered at least one million strong, Darthan was defeated and killed in that battle. Few soldiers survived that day and were from then on considered outcasts from society. Most of these eventually founded a small village somewhere in the Razhin Jungle.
The Second Battle of Nazada
| Prophecy |
|---|
| The world united, to battle irked. Red ones lead, for honor charge. A hope renewed, the spotted fall. |
| Dark Prophecy |
|---|
| Veiled in transient evanescence A cold white menace lingers |
Great King Emanpugnikam led the second battle against Nazada in the year 1993 [2:1501]. In a move only prophecy could have manipulated and under the orders of the Lunari Kathiv, fifty thousand horsemen joined the ranks of the Red Exemplars. On the morn of battle, they charged toward Nazada and broke through the strong defenses. Every Red Exemplar was killed in that battle but their deaths were not in vain. The rest of the army followed after them and managed to advance through the freezing rain of Mathol and assault the dark fortress. The three Lunari which accompanied the army killed Mathol. When Mathol died, he unleashed the white plague which killed many who survived the battle. It also spread across all of Etnyben and the land was never as populated as it had been.
