Haakar is a free-willed undead spirit, similar to a spectre but far more powerful. Haakar is bound to the island of Dawnfire and cannot leave. There are several hundred desiccated skeletons in the courtyards and rubble of the ruins. Haakar is an ancient wizard, the master of the mage society whose fortress this was. He and his brothers fought against the rise of the defilers, but were destroyed in the terrible wars that swept Athas in the ancient days. Haakar's strength of will survived the death of his body, and he guards the ancient fortress to this day. Powerful magic and dangerous knowledge are still hidden within the ruins, and Haakar ensures that word of the ruins' existence never leaves the island of Dawnfire.
Unlike its sister islands, Morghaz has no active volcanoes
and is surprisingly verdant. Scrub brush covers much of
the land, and here and there stand small copses of forest.
A small tribe could live here easily, yet the island is
uninhabited. The Khal-Ish-Thaas tribe and the clans of
Avegdaar avoid Morghaz, believing it to be haunted, and
they are correct. A shattered keep on the southeastern
tip of the island was the home of an ancient order of
preservers. The former leader of the order, a powerful
ghost named Haakar, still lingers in the ruins.
