The Ancient War

The ancient war is a war of the free people of the land against the mind-consuming ancients. The free people of the land rose up against the mind-flayer, under the command of the aasimar Haelakath. They defeated the ancients and drove the ancients back to Kyramor, where they were broken.

The Arrival
No one knows how the ancients came to be, or where they came from. When they were first found they assaulted libraries and colleges, trying to learn all they could of the world. They then set out to enslave the free people and stop them from organizing.

The Resistance
It was during this time that Haelakath came to be. He seemed immune to the ancients, which he later attributed to his celestial heritage. He slaughtered ancients wherever he found them and recruited those he freed in his campaign against their oppressors. When he had assembled a large army he took it to Kyramor. There his army met the collected armies of his foe. In a bloody battle his foe was defeated. The victory inspired so much faith in Haelakath it caused him to ascend into godhood.
