Made by materials provided by Kirin Tor, the Altar of Kings, acts as a harness for the derelict life forces of fallen human champions (including their allies the dwarves, and high elves). It is only at this site, once erected, that heroes may be resurrected to do battle once again (for an offering of gold). The specifics of this building's magical properties are among the most guarded secrets in all human realms.
