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.))
Prior history to the Cursed 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.
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 the party I sent opted to teleport away from harm instead of risking defeat before them.
The party was led by Tanis 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 his 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. They were shattered in Blackmire Bog at the tower and failed to get past the horde of undead Illnor was summoning.
Illnor was a being driven mad by power, as most of their kind are. After his mastery of Contingency: Timestop he believed himself to be a mortal god walking amongst the living -- his Contingency preventing any harm coming to him. He was in the most respects immune to all manner of attack. Anytime a blow or a spell would come his way - he would be 7 steps ahead of you due to the nature of the spell. It was his combination of maniacal pride and power that put Irongate squarely in danger.
