Second great war

The second great war began in 1004 of the new era. It is not known how, but the Dark One returned and unleashed a new assault on the peoples of Varilith. The war began with assaults lead by seemingly immortal soldiers against dwarven holdings in eastern Natalis. The unified dwarven race fought back, and began the construction of dwarven airships to counter the invasion. Their forces lead by King Dain XII and his general Drak Deepdigger engaged the vicious enemies in battle. King Dain sent evoys to the elves of Blue Forest. However at the onset of the war, the Elves refused to send to aid the dwarves in their stuggle. Drak Deepdigger and Anvil Axehandle later discovered the the Dark One was the one behind the attacks in dwarvish lands. As such Drak was able to convince King Arameth of the Everstorm Isles. To lend his armies to the cause. By this time however it was too late, and the Dark One had opened a new portal to bring forth his minions in the mountains south of Farth, near the mining outpost of Marshall's Point.

The War lasted for six years, with every settlement on Natalis falling before the Dark One. Northern Erdin was also left in ruins. Not much is known about the end of the war, other then the Dark One is said to in his ultimate moment of victory, challenged the gods themselves for dominion over all things. He now rests as a statue of invincable black marble at the top of Titan's Peak. With his downfall, all of the creatures under his command abandoned the rule of his cities almost over night, and either retreated through the Hellfire Gate or found a place to hide somewhere in the vastness of Varilith.
