Lundar's Library

Day 318, Year 548

As I stepped out of the library today, I sensed that several of my friends were fallen in the Darshak Horde. I rushed myself to Ash Island to find a small party already there. My clanmates Ruen and Anfyr filled me in on the horrifying details: there were an incredible FOUR Greater Deaths inside the Darshak Horde, along with an assortment of Darshak Pirates and a powerful Necromancer!

Our party was determined to rescue the numerous exiles fallen inside,
and we gathered our forces at the southern entrance to the Darshak
Horde. Then, on the count of three, we charged into the Horde in a
tidal wave of exiles. It was a massacre.

Fallen in the Horde

We were surrounded by the Darshak the moment we entered the Horde,
and one by one were cut down and incinerated by the Darshak scum. I
counted no less than 25 fallens exiles scattered about the Horde, with
many more out of my sight. There were still a few of us left outside,
but our only real hope lay in a poweful party hunting on Kizmia’s Isle.
Unfortunately, I could not wait around for a rescue, for I had to
participate in my clan’s Dun’ilsar competition, and was forced to depart.

Later I heard that a large party did succeed in rescuing the Darshak
Horde, and were able to slay the Greater Deaths with the aid of the
powerful Blood Mage Aldernon. Still, it is a mystery why so many
Greater Deaths were gathered together in one place. Usually it is a
rare thing to sight even a single Greater Death– four of them together
is unheard of!

One more thing worth noting: it seems the activity in the
Darshak Horde drew a larger number of exiles out of the library than
usual. At one point during the invasion, I witnessed as many as 107
exiles out of the library at one time, which is a lot more than I’ve
seen in a long while.
