This is about the city. You might be looking for Castle Kandar or Kandar The Destroyer.
Kandar was a city located in Mesopotamia in the early Bronze Age. Around 3000 BC, the city was under the rule of high priest Urigan and his cult, who allowed demons to roam free and terrorize it's denizens.
Kandar was first mentioned in the "Gilga-Ash" chapter of the Army of Darkness Roleplaying Game released by Eden Studios in 2005.
History[]
Very little is known about Kandar prior to Urigan's rule, though it seemed to be no different than any other large Mesopotamian city in its time.
City of The Dead[]
Following Urigan's alliance with "The Watcher In The Woods", the high priest and his loyal followers staged a coup on Kandar's goverment. With Ereshkigal's acolytes now in power, the Deadites began their own hostile attack on the lower peasants which inhabited the city. In a matter of days, the once thriving metropolis of Kandar fell into ruins. While many of the city's occupants joined the legion of Deadites, those who had survived the ordeal barricaded themselves within their homes, and the "unoccupied" corpses of those the Deadites did not possess lined the main thoroughfare through town leading directly to the Temple of Ereshkigal.
Eventually, a rebel human army led by Enkidu and a warrior from another time challenged Urigan's legion. Emerging triumphant, Urigan was defeated and humanity took back Kandar for their own.
Notable Locations[]
- Temple of Ereshkigal: An ancient temple for those devoted to the goddess of the underworld, the building served as Urigan's headquarters during his short rule. It was here that the city's high priest created the Necronomicon Ex-Mortis.
Notable Residents[]
- Urigan
- Enkidu
- Shamhasa
Notes[]
- Kandar's exact location was implied to be between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, somewhere in what is now modern-day Iraq.
Trivia[]
- As the text of the Army of Darkness Roleplaying Game directly states the "Gilga-Ash" story is based on The Epic of Gilgamesh, Kandar seems to be loosely inspired by the city of Uruk, the city which Gilgamesh ruled.
