Intelligence
Ebonstar, an ancient fortress crafted millennia ago by the Lith-Crillion, had remained cloaked in magical concealment for countless years. However, the Black Tide of Thasmudyan, guided by divine revelation, finally discovered the strategic stronghold. Now, the Fairinteen Alliance is determined to seize control of this critical location, and has enlisted the aid of the Sanguine Wispers to assist in its capture.
The lich General Garn currently commands the frontlines of the Black Tide armies. The alliance between the Orchish Empire and the forces of the malevolent god Thasmudyan represents a formidable threat to the Lands of Purity and, more significantly, the future security of Sanguine Wispers.
