What happened to the city of Zarak? Why did it fall?

Over time, the city of Zarak succumbed to the inevitable passage of time, as all things must. Its people became scattered, its magic waned, and eventually, it faded into obscurity. The once-great city now lies dormant, a testament to what once was, and a reminder of the impermanence of even the most powerful civilizations.
