An extract from Renash's Diary:
Taken from Milai's recent history, recording her travels immediately before and shortly after meeting the New White Council:


Spring 1005.  The land was bathed in warmth and the cool wind bourn out of the mountains once again brought hope of a new and prosperous lifeA shadow remained, however, which caused those that love the freedom of the air too much trouble to be forgotten. Unwisely perhaps, I convinced Ythanos of my determination to do what had been neglected for so longOf stout heart he listened intently, turning his attention once gain to the thorny issue of the Dragon holed up in Minas TirisEntrusting his young son, Aran, to his wife Catherin and the monastery, the Great Castellan leads his party of veteran warriors, accompanied by Curial and I, to the Great Worms lairPerhaps rashly without Fastlor, using the Portal, we enter Tiris and are immediately engaged by the BeastThe battle is swift and fierce but I am ashamed to tell the Dragon won the dayBlasted by fire, bitten and raked by teeth and claw, Ythanos, son of Eomer, met his doom in Minas TirisCurial too came to an untimely end at the talon of the Great Wyrm. Only I escapedManaging to stave off the powerful dweomer thrown at me and protecting myself from the many blasts of fire emanating from its jaws I took up the Crown left by YthanosThe Wyrm’s treasure was unbelievable; ancient as he was, I realised that Rantor had collected many of the artefacts left by our greatest mageYet I had only the strength to grab the Ring of Fire before jumping back through the Portal to the wondrous blue...

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.

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…
