Editing Akhentour (section)

==== The Fifth Era: The Three Kingdoms ====
The Fifth Era ushered in an unprecedented era of peace, lasting over 300 years, as the kingdoms each focused on rebuilding following the collapse of the Dorian Empire. Akhentour spent this time rebuilding itself as an independent country, returning rule of the nation to Berderem, which was renamed Garrod in 3289 VR, along with several other areas in the country. When Modur was discovered by Irolean sailors in 3547 VR, a brief rush toward colonizing the island brought Akhentour into prominence when Stonnet sent a sizable naval force to establish a colony there. A tense "turf war" of sorts began between Iro, Akhentour, and even Valwyr for some time, with each wanting to establish a colony and assume control of the island. However, once contact was made with the Irolean elves, Akhentour quickly withdrew, as the Diomedean elves rejected colonization once they discovered indigenous peoples living on the island.

Later, when Deneshae was revealed in 3985 VR, Akhentour along with Teveren were among the first to establish contact with the dragonborn monasteries of [[Isoasar]].

During the Alrennean War, Akhentour attempted to bolster its defenses for the onslaught of Alrenn, but was not prepared for the sheer size and magical acumen of his undead hordes. While it was not razed in the same way Teveren was, Akhentour suffered tremendous casualties, as nearly 80% of the population was killed and transformed into more undead. Alrenn's first lich form was ultimately contained by Demetrius in 4062 VR, using powerful magic still largely unknown by scholars, likely ancient Age of Magic level spells. Alrenn's body was lost after the battle and no one is quite sure how it was retrieved by the Wardens or how Alrenn became Dovar. But 20 years later, in 4082 VR, Dovar the Lightbringer appeared at the Temple of the Gods in northern Akhentour, attempting to "bring peace" to the world by sucking the life from it -- a shade of what Alrenn did 20 years ago.

Dovar was ultimately defeated by the Dragonslayers of the Redfang Guild with the aid of a Warden known as Korth. However, defeating Dovar also destroyed Alrenn, who was being kept in a liminal state between life and death within the sentient ooze that called itself Dovar and was presumably feeding off of Alrenn's arcane energy. Alrenn was then reformed later near his phylactery in the city of Resington on Wengar Island, which was being studied by Lucretia Voss, a former pirate and Eye of EOD. Alrenn returned as a demilich and persuaded Lucretia to travel to Garrod, where they prepared the first soul sacrifice to raise Alrenn to lich form again. The sacrifice was intended to be Ian van Montelle, but the Dragonslayers with the help of the Guildmasters of Redfang managed to defeat Alrenn and destroy his phylactery for good.
