			''Fearing for their lives, many fled to Amorsland on [[Agrion]]’s ships. Haemrandir, the Half-Elf Druid, lead the exodus, keeping peace amongst the nations in Amorsland through skilful diplomacy. Full of guilt for what he had done and fearing retribution, [[Dragor II]] returned to the Dragorald on the back of an ancient Black Dragon. [[Kagrall]], Dragor’s older brother, discovered what had happened and took many of his folk north, becoming the first of the ‘lost souls’ – those who turned their back on Hel.''

			''Having seen what his father, [[Dragor II]], had done, [[Enrodire]], like his uncle before him, took many of his kindred deep into Keffendir, establishing his own clan and distancing himself from his father. [[Mandur II]] calmed her brother Enrodire and established an uneasy truce between the factions of the House of Dor. She was given the honorary title of Queen of Amarsland Dwarves and her father retreated to the Dragorald with the few that follow would him.''

			''Guerin took part of the Dragorald, killed Dragor II and took his Orb. Mandur II escaped to the northern halls of Keffendir with the Crown, where she set about creating vast defences. Covertly, Mandur II let Haemrandir know of Guerin’s second rise to power.

''Silmar’s sword, split into three when it struck the Staff, passed to Valourin along with command of the Army. Valourin, a battle hardened warrior from Levolyan, gave the hilt of Fastlor to Mercantire Carass, Silmar’s standard bearer. One other part he gave to Yorinksen, Silmar’s son, the other he kept. His intention was to re-forge the sword once he had learnt how. Like Fastlor, Silmar’s armour was similarly distributed to those Valourin perceived to have done well in the battle and Milai received his gauntlets; however, she never discovered who else received similar gifts and presumed Valourin to have kept much of it himself.''
