Fall of Sundabar & Defeat of the Platinum Order

Military action

"Yes, Justice Suldrembrod, that's correct. When we found what was left of the Platinum Order, they were desperately huddled together like the civilians they tried to save. So many already dead, too many to bury honorably. Torn apart by dragon's claws, crushed by giants clubs, or otherwise destroyed by drow magic or orcish blade. Such is the fate of foolish heroics in the name of blind faith, if you ask me. The survivors owe their lives to the power of the Augurium." | Chauncer of Clan Teidrath, Headmaster of the Augurium


Unable to watch the seige of Sundabar unfold without taking action, Battalion Leader Dormas Battlefang revolted against the orders to stay put and led an army of inspired soldiers and paladins to break the siege.   The small force was quickly overwhelmed, unprepared for the onslaught of orc and drow forces. Upon discovering their absence, the Talons of Justice leaders were forced to send reinforcements.   Together the full might of the Talons of Justice and Augurium were able to break the siege long enough to get some of the remaining survivors back to Avraathe and to safety, but somewhere between 30-40% of the Talon's forces were lost in the process, many of them of the Platinum Order as well.
