The Cordon

The Cordon is the sight of a Disaster-Breakdown that nearly destroyed the Ky'lan island, and with it the dwarven culture. However, the spread of the mutagenic influence was stopped by massive iron and steel pillars called Nullifying Wards. These pillars release a nullifying agent into the air and the ground, negating the spread of the arcyte mutagen.

However, it wasn't built in enough time to stop the mutagen from reaching Bron'ibal Kharza. A significant portion of the people there were either driven mad by the inhalation of the unstable arcyte, or simply mutated into horrific Mor'todal. While the iron pillars stop the spread of the unstable arcyte, it does not stop the creation of new Mor'todal. Purebred Mor'todal spill out into the Ky'lan marshlands daily, never seeming to stop.
