In the year 614 NA, the dark elves began their crushing campaign aboveground. A powerful darkness coursed through the sky blocking sunlight, the thing most feared and hated by dark elves. The savage elven warriors followed, destroying settlements, villages and cities in their wake.
The main part of the dark army swept northwest, through the forests and grasslands. They hit the human areas while a smaller army marched through the empty deserts and sticky jungles to sade territory and southern human lands. They crushed the Krieg Kingdom, sending refugees fleeing west.
Many took sanctuary in the Brechin capital city of Forfarshire. Here strong mages, some traveling up from the secretive Allure Academy, held off the dark winds from crossing over the city. This stalemate lasted many weeks, and the mages began to falter from exhaustion. Darkness crept in, little by little.
