Sorry if I was being rather presumptuous with my earlier post. 

If you look at the map, there is a ruined settlement in Westernant territory below the Leize River, I think that can fit your intended background. However, the scale might need to be reduced from a small nation to a major city of a dukedom that has turned into ruins and had its surroundings reclaimed by nature after ten years. 

That however would require extensive writing about how the relationship between the nations went after that mysterious event. Did Varenheim have something to explain why it happened? Or why would your character think it has something to do with the land of twilight more than the fact that the cataclysmic land itself is located on the other side of the river?

All of my suggestions are just... suggestions. At the end of the day, the character is yours. If your character, for whatever reason believes it is in the Land of Twilight he will find answers, and you find that it fits aptly with him and are comfortable with that, then I have no reason to stop you. 


Pick what you are most comfortable of. My part was simply to prevent my players from feeling disconnected from the world by offering hooks and a way to attach his character background more organically to the world.
