Irongate: The Cursed Reign
((This will be an amalgamation of lore built up from games I've run in the past, as well as the current reign.))
Contents
Spring 1318 AY
Illnor, the Eternal Death
A lich had taken residence up in the Blackmire Bog, a bog to the northeast of Irongate. This lich was particularly powerful and had a great mastery of not only the undead, but of all other manners of sorcery. He had mastered an ability known as Contingency, a magic that allowed him to cast a spell at the moment when conditions were met. Through his contingency and mastery of sorcery, he ended up tying his contingency to a spell that not I, Rylorn, nor any other wizards can fathom how to cast. A spell - known as Time Stop.
A party led by Tanis was sent to deal with the lich and was defeated, sometime in Spring in (April) 1318 AY. I knew it was a desperate bid to send Tanis with a small party at the time, but knowing Tanis's skills with a sword, seeing Safire the druid and Rainai Turnith's spellcasting ability, I thought the party had a decent chance of success. Alas they failed.
Illnor moved about the lands and bewitched several tribes of goblinoid creatures to do his bidding during this time. At his disposal he had bugbears, orcs, and goblins that had overrun Yellowfield and the Edgewood Forest. The Orcs of Tuskengore were a tribe that was particularly painful to deal with. So much so that Tanis's party opted to teleport away from harm instead of risk defeat before reaching Illnor's tower.
Illnor was a being driven mad by power, as most lich are. After his mastery of Contingency: Timestop he believed himself to be a mortal god walking amongst the living, his Contingency was on any harm coming to him - he was in the most respects immune to all manner of attack, and harm. It was this combination of maniacal pride and power that put Irongate squarely in danger.
