== History ==
== History ==
While [[Zarr]] was Thane of Kalas Mithral and Lord of House Q’or, the city was besieged by the [[Army of Night]] during the [[war against Cyn]]. The siege lasted over seven months before [[Zarr]] emerged from his expedition into the depths of [[Orden]] with the [[War-ender]], having found the [[Tellac Oranic]]. Using the stone Zarr prompted the Army of Night to retreat, however the stone devoured the lives of the entire [[Legion of Adamant]]. Allowing the Army of Night to advance once more and sack the city.
