The Wrath of Ishamael

The Conflict

Prelude

Amid tensions with a large contingency of surviving Wyrmlings, the The Greater Restorers are assaulted by the Pit Fiend, Ishamael, who comes to destroy them following the death of his nemesis Ancalax.
While a giant door at the entrance to the mines was originally blocked, the demon was able to destroy it with his sword, and engage the Restorers with the help of his demonic minions.

Deployment

The Greater Restorers had been fleeing from confrontation with Ishamael, having escaped through a maze-like ventilation system of sorts, before coming upon the group of Wyrmlings, who had been considering their options given the death of their leader, the Red Dragon Ancalax.

Battlefield

The battle was fought near the entrance to a direlect mine that once belonged to the Dwarves of Akanvor. Rubble, mining carts, machines, and stalagmites created obstacles.

Conditions

The leaderless Wyrmlings, also enemies of Ishamael's demons, engaged as well, though, they temporarily sided with the Greater Restorers, instead of initiating a 3-way battle. Many of Ishamael's demons were not able to engage the Greater Restorers due to this extra enemy.

Outcome

Ishamael, and his demons, were slain by the combined forces of the Greater Restorers, Thorgrim Steel-Bearer, and the Wyrmling refugees.
While Xanheros Dhal-iryn was slain during the battle, he was shortly revived by Vaaron, whose soul seems to occupy his body.
Shortly after the battle, a tremendous number of Dwarven slaves were found in a pit in the mines. Many of the Dwarves were women and children, forced to labor by the Akanvor invaders, and were in poor condition and health.
The living were rescued, and many of the wounded were healed.

Aftermath

As the last battle of The Reclaimation of Akanvor, the defeat of Wyrmlings allowed the Dwarven Marche to be reclaimed by its people. As the secret successor of the royal Akanvor lineage, Thorgrim Steel-Bearer was made King of Akanvor, and forged a grateful and generous alliance with Akanvor's saviors, the The Greater Restorers of Lux Donum.
