Alasantine

The Alasantine were the precursor nation of Montvonde, but they were eradicated by the now-dead Plague. The Alasantine were amazing architects and used only stone to build. It is rumored that they ridiculed the gods in favor of their own god, Orel.

As it was, Orel liked the Dunmel gods, and so on their behalf he struck down Alasantine by unleashing the Plague on Montvonde. Millennia passed, and their ruins broke down until only a few were left. Like, for example, the Temple that you can see in the image.
