| − | : Izrador sends a host of 12 mighty demons rampaging through the Veradeen. Ardherin consults with his colleagues, his notes and lorebooks, and then traveled to northern Erethor to battle the threat. Ardherin laid a powerful, sorcerous trap for the demon horde. When the elven wizard moved to spring the magical snare, he found himself bound instead. He had become a summoned creature, and like the demons he had so often trapped, he had become bound to a greater power—Izrador himself. The demon horde spirited Ardherin away to the presence of the Shadow, where the great elven sorcerer was lost to a nightmare of torture and magical transformation that left him at once destroyed and reborn. When some measure of sanity returned to his mind, he had become one of the immortal Night Kings. His body had been reformed into a terrible apparition of his original elven form. Ardherin, the servant of Shadow, retains the general build of his kind but is even more slender—almost gaunt. | + | : Izrador sends a host of 12 mighty demons rampaging through the Veradeen.

| + | : One night, six months after an old woman began telling Jahzir her tales, the general stole from his quarters, mounted his horse, and road north alone. For days he traveled, not truly sure why, but certain his promised greatness was at stake. Then one day a black storm swept down from the northern horizon, engulfing the general, and he knew no more. When he came to, Jahzir was no longer on the plains and he was no longer entirely human. Jahzir’s form had become frightening indeed. He was much the same in aspect—dark skin, almond eyes, long black hair—but he was now larger than even the burliest Dorn, standing nine feet tall. His body was covered in the blackest plate armor, but armor that was not worn and was instead an unnatural part of his living skin. He was no longer Jahzir, Lord General of Erenland, but had been transformed into Jahzir the Night King, Lord Master of the Armies of the Shadow. His sole desire was to serve Izrador and in doing so subjugate the lands of all Eredane. | ||

3. "'''Spring's End'''", this arc is the favored time for birthing foals. Traditionally this is also the time when nomadic Sarcosans left their winter camps. If born on the zenith of Sahaad, a Sarcosan child is thought to be destined for greatness. | 3. "'''Spring's End'''", this arc is the favored time for birthing foals.

| − | : Claiming he was retiring to found a monastery, Sunulael leaves Sharuun and takes his cult of followers to Cambrial in the summer, taking up residence in an old manor. Beneath the building he constructed the first temple to the Shadow in the southlands and erected a zordrafin corith. | + | : Claiming he was retiring to found a monastery, Sunulael leaves Sharuun and takes his cult of followers to Cambrial in the summer, taking up residence in an old manor.

8. "'''the Arc of the Dead'''", this a traditional time to honor the memory of lost relatives and the only time of the year when it is wise to ask favors of the Sorshef. The Dorns, long influenced by the Sarcosan calendar, hold their most solemn ancestor ceremony on the zenith of Hanud. They call the ceremony "'''the Calling of Honors'''". | 8.

| − | : In the winter of this year, Sunulael's meditations begin to fill with subtle visions. At first, he assumes they are the signs of age, for he was hardly a young man anymore. In time, the visions gained in strength and Sunulael began to hope that perhaps his dearest wish had come true—that the gods had finally deigned to speak to their most devout priest. Over the course of several years, Sunulael became convinced it was indeed the voice of a god speaking to him, and in truth, he was correct. It was the corrupting whispers of Izrador that intruded upon the old priest’s mind. | + | : In the winter of this year, Sunulael's meditations begin to fill with subtle visions.

: When defeat was all but certain, a warm southern gale heralded the arrival of victory. A host of raging dragons unexpectedly appear across the many fronts and savagely join battle against the Enemy and their traitorous kin. Death was everywhere, chaos was absolute. When it was over both sides are broken. Orc hordes are scattered to the north and the only dragons to be found are the broken bodies of their dead. The Fortress Wall stood, but many of its keeps lay smashed and in ruins. The armies of Eredane pray to the Lost Gods that Izrador would not rise again. | : When defeat was all but certain, a warm southern gale heralded the arrival of victory.
