History of Eldahar - 2602 to 2616

23/1/2602	Help from unexpected an place Over in Sardium Bran attends a war meeting in the Sardinese army; he shares a pavilion with Sthendamas the elf, General Magnus, Cydon of the Dominion and his "sister" Liaze - the Saadi Princess.4000 Mormen advance towards Sardium's front line. Under the command of Bran and General Sersa of the Sardinese army, 1200 men out flank the Mormen and attack. Bran puts his consciousness inside the Void of Shada to focus entirely on the battle at hand. By doing so he avoids several close calls, including one arrow fired at him point blank. A squad of 24 Bray Demons (squat creatures immune to arrows) break through and manage to reach Liaze's pavilion. The Way Guard and several powerful wards (placed by Liaze the night before) put pay to the Demons before they wreak too much havoc. Under cover of darkness Louhri - the Ice Queen stretches out with her icy hand to create a mammoth wall of ice between the advancing Mormen and the entrenched Sardinese forces. The wall forms from mist over a period of several minutes, buying the Sardinese time to regroup. Louhri's words echo in the minds of several sensitive people (Bran included) From one such as I to one such as she - meaning Liaze. After channeling for 3 days non-stop, an extremely tired Liaze still takes time to heal a blind soldier called Brandon.
24/1/2602	Bran the Aidin inspects a parade of Sardinese soldiers. He meets and congratulates General Cartires for his skill at slaying Mormen. Cartires assigns Bran an adjutant to run the Aidin's errands. Adjutant Lokim comes highly recommended but Bran remains uncomfortable with the whole idea. Later that afternoon Bran clambers up on top of the new ice wall to gaze across the stationary army of Mormen, gathered silently in their thousands from horizon to horizon. To his horror Bad Deed begins yelling obscenities at a distant Demon Lord. When Deed has calmed down (after several threats from Bran), the Aidin retires to his tent to get some shut-eye. Instead when he gets there he decides to do some Void-search about the Nine swords of Fate. Especially as Atreylu and his guardian (a huge old man) called Ethban Dion are waiting inside to talk to him. He reads about Atreylu Willamire wielding the sword Dilligence Izata Kan wielding Hinderence, that Radience is currently not being held, that no one is looking at Deliverence and that Credence is outside of Belam in Beldorn, hanging up in Lord Castian's Hall. He also learns Magnificence is being held by Kurtis Enland in The Lion's army of Eridorn, that Severence is being wielded by Cydon (he gave Cydon the sword in the first place) and that Sustenance is in the hands of Mariah Stowkettle of High Haven (bodyguard and mother of two). All in all a busy afternoon of Void research. Alliath finishes using her Void to gather the names and locations of all the Animal Lords and Ladies across Eldahar. She passes all the information onto Preyli who with her Balance bestowed power of Animal Kinship intends on gathering Nature's forces to stand against Chaos. Early evening Mehara Houri returns (the Kaimyrrian rescued by Bran weeks ago). She rides up to Bran's tent with her father Tushan Houri the Pasha of Tiburke and 800 men. She dismounts, bows and introduces her three brothers as well - Aham, Masan and Sedeme saying The Houri's always repay their debts. We are at the Aidin's service. Fireworks 8pm. Bran joins Major Manacles fighting by the ice wall. The Mormen under Vath Nirgol manage to breach the wall using fire magic from a distant Demon Lord called Chunga. Bran kills Nirgol but the attack proves to be just a front. Four wagons roll up within the Morman masses. At first a spectacular display of fireworks light up the sky, their rockets launching from the wagons and exploding into a myriad of rainbow colors. But within minutes the fireworks start adversely effecting the men of Sardium. 1500 develop mental disorders or go suddenly insane after staring at the bright prismatic colors in the sky. 10.30pm. The Morman army rapidly retreats, turns and heads east. 11pm. Liaze calls another war meeting. General Leer, General Gaff, General Vasgus, Cheyanne and Coleus attend. She orders the Sardinese army to pursue the Mormen. Where are the Mormen going in such a hurry?
25/1/2602	Bran learns through his Void that the Morman army is running to finish off Liaze's mother - Queen Imryssa. Imryssa and the Prince of Lanth are holed up about fifty miles away taking heavy casualties. Imryssa, having channeled her Saadi powers to the point of near death has managed to keep the Mormen and demons at bay for several days but won't stand a chance against the army charging in her direction. Bran grabs a Griffin and takes to the air with Bad Deed as company. With his Thorn of Tears and Hand of Truth he hopes to tip the Balance and rescue Imryssa before it's too late. En route he engages in some frightening aerial combat (narrowly missing the ground) against some Jebok demons. A giant black face swims in the clouds before him. It is the face of Xarimog - Lord of Chaos. Xarimog demands Bran hand back what is his. Bran's reply as he flies through the Chaos Lord's apparition is typical of the Aidin - Get the fuck out of my face or face or consequences! Late afternoon Bran crashes out of the sky to Imryssa's aid. Down to 25 men the Saadi Queen is barely able to stand. With his Void embraced, the Aidin fights like a maniac for several hours. Preyli (using her power of stone-shifting) arrives near Bran and spends the night with him, despite the Mormen regrouping in the distance. She has been busy contacting 3 Animal lords today - A Lord of flies, a Lord of Rats and a Lord of Pigs.
26/1/2602	Dawn Bran runs out over the heads of the Mormen using his Ion Stone of air running to engage the Morman's demonic leader. With Deed and his items of Law he vanquishes the foe buying Liaze and her men enough time to escape. Of Champions and Dragons The Dragon Hawk Sacaster and Nadir of Daigyth make a well planned attempt on North's life. Sacaster teleports Nadir (using spiritual shifting) into the Citadel of Sharteyn. Using Manslayer's ability to Pass Unseen to humans, Nadir steals his way to North's room, kills the two guards standing outside and enters. By pure luck (or fate) North resist's Manslayer's power of the Unseen Rune and hears Nadir enter. Without armor or many of his magical protections North rolls out of bed grabbing Need on the way. The two best swordsman in the northland confront one another. They begin exchanging lethal blows and special attacks with Nadir enhanced by Sacaster's magic and wearing enchanted armor. Nadir's sheer skill at parrying is enough to thwart North's superior strength making the men evenly matched in all respects. North is wounded 3 times but each time resists the Heart stopping magic of Manslayer's Slaying Rune. After 13 seconds of furious exchange North severs Nadir's head. Sacaster senses Nadir's death through the sudden ending of his rituals. Without pausing the Dragon Hawk continues onto the second stage of his Assassination plan - transforming himself into a medium sized Black Dragon, Sacaster soars up from a nearby hill and descends upon Sharteyn raining fireballs down upon its unsuspecting army. North hears the commotion outside just as Red turns up at his door. Sent by Ischandi to warn him of the Dragon (but arriving a little late - all part of Ischandi's politics and plans) Red accompanies North out into the bailey. Without having time to don all his armor or items North again finds himself faced by imminent death. Need hums with energy, gleaming with the light of the Eternal Flame and weaving spells of protection around its wielder. With scant magic around him North runs out to meet Sacaster in open combat - calling for a face to face confrontation. Sacaster accepts and descends in a black cloud of smoke. Activating the Cygnet of Ellesar (an elven artifact that amplifies all magic in a radius by x 2 INTENSITY - making 20 AP protection = 40AP etc) North wades in surrounded by Star Armor so bright it can be seen for miles in every direction! Coming closer to death than he has ever been, North manages to impale Need into Sacaster's hide and spill the Dragon Hawk's internal organs. But as the Sorcerer dies and his dragon form evaporates, a creature of smoke rises up from his corpse and steals Sacaster's black ring. North is too exhausted to stop it. Instead he stumbles over to Sacaster's naked body, takes the Sorcerer's head and sticks it on a pole for his army to gaze up at. Cheers boom out of Sharteyn for the remainder of the morning. More Mormen attack Sharteyn Red and Mirabore collect stones from Dagrand, Arkynlor and Black Shear so that Preyli can use her Balance power to "shift" Bran and herself from place to place. Tarquin of Sardium is slain in the fens. Lyesin grieves. Bran "reads" information about the City of Kaladon in Andor. He discovers the entire city is trapped in Yulasha's astral web; the population all wrapped up in webs ready to be eaten.
27/1/2602	Mintle the Mirror-mage arrives in Daydark. Bran "reads" information from the World Mind about Serslargra - a Kraken living in the Rhûn sea (with 250' long tentacles) and "Ancient Whisper" - an ancient golden dragon called Rûn sleeping at its bottom.
