A

midst the evil machinations of the Brotherhood of the Labyrinthine Veil,

war erupted between New Ascalhorn and Silvergarde. The conflict demanded the efforts of all able to wield a sword or magic, resulting in costly, pyrrhic victories. As the struggle intensified, it became evident that New Ascalhorn harbored even darker plans, unleashing trapped demons from portals beneath Hellgate Dell, plunging the lands into chaos and ruin.

​

In response, Silvergarde's diverse defenders united to protect their lands, managing to hold New Ascalhorn's forces at bay despite significant sacrifices. However, the demonic onslaught led to a cataclysmic explosion that destroyed the Far Forest, submerging villages and towns under a wave of water. Refugees from Silvergarde found safety in the Ruins of Delzoun, now a beacon of hope and a rallying point for the righteous.

​

As word of the demonic incursion spread, various organizations, including the Tall Tree druids and the Lord's Alliance, mobilized to push back the demons. The battle was hard-fought, but the demons were eventually driven back to the Abyss, allowing life to begin anew. The Windseekers, led by Isun, established a new oasis city, while the dwarves of Delzoun provided aid. Despite these efforts, New Ascalhorn's fiends and opportunistic cults continued to pose a threat, their dark plans for the future shrouded in uncertainty.
