Dolorum - Late Age of Myth / Early Age of Chaos
- Dolorum was among the greatest human civilizations in Shyish in the latter days of the Age of Myth, a decadent but nonetheless powerful mortal kingdom that worshipped Nagash above all the other gods.
- Olynder is born in Dolorum, a woman of tremendous ambition in an otherwise patriarchal society, Olynder is a skilled manipulator who preys upon the emotions of those around her and of the public to rise in station.
- Olynder arranges a marriage to the prince of Dolorum. The prince disappears on their wedding night, along with the king, leaving Olynder as the sole ruler of Dolorum. She uses displays of mourning to win over the population and push aside any rumors of her involvement in the assassinations.
- When Chaos comes to Shyish, the forces of Dolorum initially fight them back, but without support from Nagash are soon overwhelmed. Olynder attempts to strike a deal with the forces of Chaos, but Nagash intervenes, taking her soul and leaving her kingdom to be overrun.
- For the crime of betraying him, Nagash blesses Olynder with a karmic punishment - in life she had displayed false sorrow, in death, she would know true sorrow - experiencing the grief and regret of all the realms. Nagash then left her spirit to wail her misery in the broken ruins of her now lifeless capital city.
