The First Fel Incursion

Metaphysical / Paranormal event

There were plenty of infighting between the mages. The Sorcerer Supreme at the time, the gnome arch mage Atosh Grimfire, took advantage of the situation and had the wizard guilds fight it out, and when they were weakened he tried to take control by opening a Hell Maw. Legions of devils poured through. It was known as "The Fel Incursion", where it was discovered that Grimfire was in league with Hell. Some say that he was a Fel Gnome.   The war took 7 years, and Grimfire was killed by Mortus Blackhand, a powerful warrior.
