The Undead War of Izznn'Rot (EYES-ZIN-ROT)

The Undead War of Izznn'Rot  saw the undead to walk the world of Cruul. Through forbidden magics and strange undiscovered spells found in the UndrrDark, the Drow leader King Hixxlrr animated legions of skeletal warriors to attack the surface races at the end of The Age of EverWinter. The war lasted for 300 years with incredible casualties delivered to the side of the living. To make matters worse- the Age of EverrWinter had no clerical spells or abilities to turn undead. The good aligned races finally won in a unified effort against the evil UndrrDark Izznn'ROT of Izznn'Rot.

The War.

For 300 years waves of undead attacked the surface races. First starting with the Dwarves, then the Elves, then the humans, then the Farni Folk. The battles raged decades at a time with heavy living casualties and no living enemies in sight. The Dwarves finally sealed themselves off from the world (taking in the Farni Folk as refugees) in hopes to shelter away from the endless waves of undead, while the elves mysteriously vanished for over 290 years. The Undead walked Cruul gaining numbers each year before the good races finally decided something had to be done. The elves returned to the Dwarves and together they marched into the UndrrDark in search of the evil source. 10,000 Dwarves and 3000 elves, along with 100 Farni Folk entered Izznn'Rot by force, armed with Fay'slynn weapons the elves captured from The Fey'slayn War of the Age of Fey.  

Victory.

The good races achieved victory of the Drow forces of Hixxlrr by decapitating him with Fey'slayn weapons. When he died, the skeleton armies fell to the ground as simple bones. The body of Hixxlrr was burned by the Dwarves out of fear that some necromancy could return him to life. Out of all those who marched into Izznn"Rot, less than 30 returned alived. They were decorated as heroes of the lands and forever lived thankful lives after.  

Scholars Debate.

Scholars debate if the necromantic powers used in the war was the actual reason for the coming of winter to Cruul and the loss of Clerical spells. Indeed after the death of Hixxlrr clerical abilities returned, but not immediately. Some scholars suggest that the Gods were possibly disgruntled over the good races refusing the Farni Folk's gifts of agriculture, others say that it was the Gods punishing the demihumans for improperly worshiping or living lives not in tune with their divine wishes.  
Religious Views.
The Churches belive the war to be one of the most evil times of Pre-human history. indeed still today the undead are found in places where they do not belong. It is assumed that the necromatic powers used in those times somehow caused some undead to rise that failed to die after the death of Hixxlrr.
