Great Purge

The War of the Great Purge happened within one of the most recent ages of Terragard, when the Black Council stole the Worldstone to gain a horrific amount of power and conquer the land. With such power, they raised an undead army and easily conquered entire civilizations around them at an alarming rate. The Guardian wizards of the Secret Fire banded the remaining nations of elves and men together to form the Inquisition of the Elder Fire. A conjoined army of clerics and paladins and other folk to defend the world against the undead threat.

After a hundred years of war - through terrible losses, magical and technological horrors, and the inclusion of many inner and outerplanar reinforcements for both side of the conflict, they finally claimed victory against the undead.

There is some debate around the degree of their success, as there never was a siege against the city of Horrows and the region of Ner'horrows still remains a dangerous - though sequestered, region in Terragard. The undead armies were purged but the city remains and many of the black council still live. A new undead threat could arise again one day should they ever amass the power again to do so.

When victory was declared, the High Inquisitor declared the Inquisition was over and order her generals to disband their troops.
