    Lore on Skalla?

    I'm looking for lore on Skalla and its denizens, as well as the forced guardians.From what I gathered:

    1. The nation was yet another victim of the War of the Magi (via the Flooding)
    2. Ala Mhigo's previous tyrant cursed his brother and his friends and made them guardians of his horde.
    3. Its in the vein of Atlantis and Aumarot, underwater city (ruins).
    What I'm wondering is how does the gear (Healer gear design content winner) tie into the dungeon and what does it say about it, and if there was anything known about what the micro nation was doing during Mhach, Amdapor and Nym's little skirmish? Also did they have anything to do with stairways or paths?

    It was destroyed in a war during the fifth astral era so not the war of magi the city was already gone by then the ruins were just flooded. We don't know much more than that.

    Let's see... It was founded in the land of Gyr Abania in the 5th astral era. The Great Flood of the 6th Umbral Calamity swept over the land submerging the city. Over 1,000 years later Ala Mhigo would be built over the forgotten city, but the last king of Ala Mhigo, Theodoric. He grew paranoid towards the end of his reign, he had his own family members imprisoned on invented charges, and were transformed by the court thaumaturges to guard the riches hidden below. But because he didn't trust his own countrymen, he enlisted the help of foreign thaumaturges. The final boss is the mad king's cousin who had a strong sense of justice and was known for trying to council the king against his decisions, and for this he was punished for "treason".

    Basically all that you already said, but this is all the page in the Lorebook had to say.

    I find the lore run of the dungeon video from Ethys Asher has some interesting tibbits about it, other than what has been said alraedy.

    Ah yes, reading the wikipedia article on monster/location names and 100% absolutely certain the Exarch was not G'raha. And Lyse being a log lost princess or something?? Totally reliable. Especially when you want to hear about Cu Chulain for the 'nth time.

    Anonymoose lore videos when?
