The Moonlight Slaughter

The moonlight slaughter was an encounter between the Second Valyn company and a Goblin tribe who's name has been lost to history. At the end of the conflict only ten Dark Elves stood and the company had been warned that another 5000 Goblins waited on the other side of the mountains. Valyn began to succumb to frustration, asking why the gods had forsaken their crusade, until a solution was proposed by Saint Althelia.

The Battle
The Moonlight Slaughter was a complete ambush. The company had been resting within a small mountain pass and were ambushed what is thought to have been five seperate tribes who wanted to avoid destruction like their kin in the North. The battle involved the Goblins dropping rocks onto the Dark Elves and feathering many with arrows.

The Dark Elves were led by Valyn however, who at the time was a spectacular wizard and also a legendary leader. Also in the company was Althelia, a former healer who had been kicked out of her order for being more interested in decay itself rather than stopping people from dying.

The battle ended with a Dark Elven victory, only the ten strongest or luckiest were left standing.

Saint Althelia
Saint Althelia is famous for being the originator of Dark Elven Necromancy. After the Moonlight Slaughter she proposed that they ressurect all of their fallen as well as the fallen goblins. Overcome by frustration and grief Valyn accepted. Althelia ressurected all of the bodies, and her powers seemed enchanced somehow as she was able to raise an undead army of 1,340.
