Other Historical Extracts
Taken from Milai's recent history, recording her travels immediately before and shortly after meeting the New White Council:
Milai learns of Senforn’s rescue and becomes aware of the Party; they tell of Senforn’s captivity and the possible involvement of Hel. She also learns that this Party has killed Ranak, Malor’s summoned Red Dragon; she knows nothing of the Orb of Dragor or the Book of Effrain. During this time Milai has made several trips to both North and South Everinstar and across Amorsland becoming aware that:
a. Lai Ku escaped his brother and had become the Steward of Nega, in Yagitamo’s absence. Malor sent Guerin to learn of the new power at Minas Tiris.
b. Keen to seek revenge on Yagitamo, Malor offers Tuar Chan support from Guerin and his armies. These are brought through the gate at Minas Tiris
c. Guerin’s Gith army, led by Grasgal, put siege to Minas Emras and gain many footholds in Kaled Zem. Both Nashg and Helmfor fight valiantly to keep their seats. Renash and Aran lead a force from Sutur and Gos to assist the House of Zem. Aran is killed by Guerin; however, his artefacts are retrieved by Dulan, now 18, who takes over as castellan. Renash and Dulan retreat to Sutur.
d. For his part in the battle, Guerin gives the Sword of the Dead to Grasgal.
e. Aided by Tuar Chan and his Dracolich, Guerin’s forces, again led by Grasgal, breach Hama’Las and kill all within. Brolgan and much of his family die, caught unawares in the mountains away from Minas Aarda. The throne passes to Barash who leads his family into the Minas.
f. Both Demons send forces to Amorsland. Orcus appears in Findorsveldt and quickly establishes a foothold.
g. Demogorgon enters through Yarlug sending Yeanoghu to capture Vorsaykarai.
h. Minas Emras Falls and Guerin makes it his base. Nashg and Helmfor fight through to Hama’Las. Nashg is killed by Grasgal but Helmfor escapes and joins what is left of the House of Hama in Minas Aarda. Dulan and Renash having retreated to Sutur consider their next move
i. Lanzi, Merc, Hintsu and Morwath defeat Yeanighu, the Gnoll Demon, one of Demogorgon's lieutenants at Vorsaykarai.
j. Renash disappeared after he returned to Olga, leaving Gwendolyn distraught.
k. Orcus sends a force west from the forgotten lands. Led by Malfor, a huge Balrog and Lord of all Tanar-ri, the army skirts past the mountain ranges and crosses the river Ishurias and into Pelanor. The evil host encounters little resistance and takes Gos easily. Using it as a base, Orcus’ forces descend on Sutur from the North
l. Lanzi, Merc, Hintsu and Morwath travel to the Plane of Fire and rescue Yishmay
m. Both Guerin’s vast Gith army and Malfor’s Tanar’ri attempt to encircle Sutur – Malfor from the North and Guerin from the NE and E. Gith Pirates re-supply both armies from the Astral Plane. Elerienne’s elves keep the castle from being entirely encircled holding vital supply routes open.
Milai helps the Party bring Yishmay to Nega in Everinstar where she assumed the throne from her elder cousin Lai Ku. Apprised of the evil that is Tuar Chan, the Party decide attack is the better form of defence and immediately strike north. Later in the year the Party breaks through to the embattled castle of Sutur. Milai coordinates Nega’s river defences including persuading Si Lung to help patrol between Nega and Ochi. Shortly after the Party leave Nega, Guerin asks that the Tanar’ri of Olga attack the Samurai stronghold. They are held at bay in the Madur mountains and the few that get to Nega are destroyed by Si Lung. Milai discovers that, aided by the release of the Gold Dragon – Dracor Augusta – from Olga, the combined armies of Elerienne and Merc break the Siege of Sutur.
Milai learns that Tuar Chan gained support from Inwé, Queen of the Drow, by offering her Gorgoroth in return for assistance along the Ishurias, against Sutur and further south. Orcus’s Tanar’ri surround Ochi but fail to stop Milai from re-supplying the old town. Dispatched by Yishmay in an attempt to rally forces, Lai Ku manages to break through to Ochi from Nega and take over command of the guard. Whilst returning from Celin – a city increasingly besieged by Drow and undead- with supplies for Ochi, Milai’s fleet is attacked by Drow and an enormous dragon – Tun Mi Lung…
