2039 AC

Clashes mark the years between 2036 and 2039 for Vdalion. Warfare from outside that reaches the icy mountain peaks. Battles spurned inside arena within. After a narrow victory against Aen's forces, they are repelled from Folkmoot grounds. Restorations begin on the walls and mountain steps leading up to Grimhjall. What smiths remain fortifying the ancient stone masonry.

Several other battles punctuate this space in time. The Urisdae youth rebelling, though, spared they were. The Panoptes clan wiped out after traitorous actions. A failed execution against Tal Samir who somehow survived death. The disappearances of known necromancers Eitr and Kane Folhammar. In a similar manner that the Zealots of Ymir's Return had come to power, through one corpse at a time, they were being removed by the Emperor and younger magi.

The past cleansed by fire and fury. The volcano above Grimjhall smokes and steams.

Old men no more.
