Skopentzana

Skopentzana was once the second greatest city in Dagaria, behind only the Imperial City itself. It stood in modern day Amestris. It was razed to the ground during a particularly violent Riftspawn incursion some four hundred and fifty years ago. Imperial Forces were mobilized to protect the city, but were delayed in their departure because a corrupt archbishop within the church delayed the army's departure as revenge for a grudge he had with the commanding general, giving the Riftspawn time to dig in and prepare for counterattack. What should have been a lighting fast smashing turned into months of digging through entrenched armies of demons, during which the city was slowly overwhelmed and destroyed. By the time Imperial Forces arrived, everyone was dead save for Archbiship Rhavas, who had survived due to unclear means.
