Dulan 522

The beginning of the hundred days war

By now Ugdrasil had gone very far down the dark path the prophet had spoken of. He saw ultimate power as the only source of peace, and from his studies into the darkest corners of Elemental magic he began to crave the ultimate power of an ArchLord.

He studied the ancient records of Walcure and began to understand the actions of Cyripus. He realized Cyripus had discovered Dulan was the hiding place of an Archon, and Ugdrasil began to move. He started calling for a return to orc supremacy in Chantra. The older generation of orcs supported and agreed with him, but this antagonistic attitude worried some of Ugdrasil's friends and advisors who had been with him from the beginning of his rise to power, especially Lamunesil. He led a group of orcs who began again to call for peace with humans.

Ugdrasil saw only a threat to his power; he took another step down that dark path. He ordered the arrest and execution of Lamunesil, his oldest friend and practically a brother. The older warrior orcs carried out Ugdrasil's order enthusiastically.

When all his opponents in the orc nation were destroyed, Ugdrasil declared war on Dulan. He raised a huge army and marched against the human nation, right to the walls of the human capital city.
