Darkreach Crusade

The Grey Legion built its power-base off the wealth and stolen magic of the dark elves. Originally the concept of taking the fight to the drow was met with overwhelming enthusiasm. The dark elves’ surface raids had been a terrifying reality for many nations of the Wurld.

Led by the Long-knight Ranger, Elfbane Carveer, the Surface Alliance launched a zealous crusade into the Darkreach. The battles went exceedingly well and their victories over such a vicious and devious enemy were heralded as proof of divine support for their fight.

In truth the campaign was divinely blessed, but in a manner few had the foresight to understand. It was apparent in the aftermath of the Long War that the Dour Faith founded its vanguard from within the ranks of unwitting soldiers that fought far underground.

The clerics of Hester and the Jeradine used the war to indoctrinate and brainwash the intrepid men and women that volunteered to protect the surface. Setting into motion the formation and blooding of the first Grey Legionnaires.
