Emberscar Blight

No one knows how it began, but in the 36th year of the realm, a Realm-wide emergency was issued by the Leopold Sleetguard II. Deep in the dead forest a blight began to spread across the trees, infecting all it encountered. This eventually took over the forest and people started to hear noises coming out of the forest, undead noises. Eventually, blights, skeletons, zombies and beasts more horrific than description began to pour out of the forest into the surrounding lands. The lands of Sleetguard fell. in the 39th YOTR, two major battlements, set up to defend the nearby lakes and resources (Sevenberg Citadel and Cantlyn Fortress) fell to the undead forces and have been aptly renamed Ghostmere and Brittlestar. Those held up at Spiritmond Redoubt managed to hold back the first wave of incoming forces on the eastern end of Sleetguard however, without constant supplies and soldiers, the Redoubt will be overrun in the near future. Without support from the Hailstorm Surge and the Obsidianis, Spiritmond Redoubt would have fallen at the first wave. There is a constant battle between the forces of the living and the forces of the dead along 'No souls land' which forms the border between the two forces.

Nothing is known of why the Emberscar have poured forth onto this plane. All that is known is that all must be sacrificed to stop their spread.

Despite its lack of permanence, Emberscar Blight has been named (to Sleetguardians distain) as the Twelfth Kingdom by Roth Hawksplitter.

They are known as the Emberscarred Legion.
