''Full Article: The Alrennean War''

Alrenn took refuge deep within the Frozen Wastes north of Teveren for at least 50 years, in Merfen's old dilapidated tower, biding his time and subjugating the northern tribes of the area. He also attempted to ally with the ancient white dragon Sav Garan, who attacked him in response; Alrenn easily bested the dragon but allowed Sav Garan to live in exchange for aiding him in rounding up the northern tribes of Teveren and establishing camps outside Merfen's Tower. Five years later, in 4055 VR, Novius and his undead hordes began the five year devastation of Teveren with the surprise attack and obliteration of Noveste and the razing of Coldhaven Academy, which took about two months.

Alrenn swiftly pushed his hordes through Teveren and eventually over the Fangs and into Akhentour. In 4056 VR, he met the dragon twins, Galonar and Krybiir, and successfully allied with them, allowing him to conquer and destroy Teveren with ease.

By 4060 VR, Alrenn's forces were crossing into Akhentour, where they faced stiffer resistance due to the country's bolstered defenses, but Alrenn still cut through most of them like butter, eventually making his way into Garrod and creating his lair, In 4062 VR, Krybiir crossed into Morentar to sack the village of Southbrook, but was defeated by Aldor Moorwind who, at the time, used the chthonic power of EOD to kill the dragon instantly. Galonar, sensing his brother was dead, tried to kill Alrenn in revenge, but the lich defeated him and used his bones to reform him as a dracolich.

Alrenn's motivations for utter destruction are unknown, though most scholars and necromancers believe it was a necessary effort to consume souls in order for him to maintain his powerful lich form. On 22 Midsummer 4062 VR, a group of heroes from the Kavonne League of Adventurers assaulted Garrod and attempted to destroy Alrenn and his phylactery once and for all. However, the wards guarding the phylactery itself were impossible to open without specific items, including the Deck of Many Things, and so the sorcerer Narellyn Ambersole threw the phylactery into a ''gate'' portal to the Plane of Fire, while the wizard Demetrius presumably brought Alrenn to within a thread of death, but kept him barely alive to prevent his resurrection by his phylactery. The specifics of how he did this are unknown, but later spellcasting reconstructions, as well as future events described below, lead many magic-users to believe that Alrenn's body was kept within an ooze that fed off of his soul energy without killing him--a parasite, in a sense, thus preventing him from reconstituting next to his phylactery.

Demetrius and Alrenn disappeared momentarily before Demetrius reappeared, dead. The war was over, the casualties immense.
