With support from the Alaxaran gods, Anharos and the allies of Aevinn battle the undead hoards and destroy vast numbers of them. The Great Old Ones themselves erupt from their haunts in the southeast; hidden within a vast and poisonous cloud of ink-black vapor they advance across the continent toward the Kingdom of Evenhold.
Alaxar and his court gird themselves for war and cast open the portals to their planes. They summon the arch fire-demon Krell, who takes the form of a blazing jackal, and bind him to the service of King Anharos.
The Great Battle of Darkness begins.
